Fredi = the best choice available.

Yup. I'd much rather see him than Pendleton or Yost. Pendleton seems to lack the fire/drive I'd like to see in a new manager and I really have no idea how he'd handle being in charge.

I used to be big on Yost, until his stint in Milwaukee. And it's not the fact that he blew a huge lead late in the season either. It's that his players threw him under the bus. He didn't have the loyalty of the guys in the locker room and that's the one thing a manager MUST have in order to win.

TP hasn't exactly been a world-beater as a hitting coach, and although hitting coaches do get too much of the blame when things are going bad, I'd prefer that a guy succeed as his current job before he gets promoted. I actually would prefer that he took on some other role with this team (or another...) so Fredi could bring Jim Presley with him.

Is this game going really going to happen? WTF?

I have directv extra innings and they don't have the HD broadcasts of games on Peachtree. So I was watching the Chicago (csn) broadcast and at 8:15 they said "Expect to start play in 45 minutes." Assholes.

EDIT: HA! I post this. Turn around to look at the TV and Prado is standing at the plate!

Per Bowman: Heyward to DL with a thumb ligament sprain. No real damage, just getting time off. Jurrjens off the DL, Kawakami to the bullpen. And Matty will be up tomorrow, one of Chavez/Martinez will get sent down.

Strasburg got out-dueled tonight. Hudson wasn't getting nearly the calls as him, but he hang around and won it.

Not sure you and I were watching the same game. Didn't see that Strasburg was getting the calls over Hudson at all. Why would a rookie pitcher be getting the calls over a seasoned vet in his home park? Maybe I am blind but I didn't see the favoritism you did.

Strasburg's defense let him down, they imploded on him. Nationals are a horrible baseball team both offensviely and defensively. Would have liked to have seen Strasburg throw his curveball last night. Think he only threw it about 7 times that I noticed because of the humidity.

On a side note.....did anyone see the moron in the white shirt behind that plate during the game last night? He was really liquored up by about the 5th inning and was acting like a 5 year old. Just wondering if it was anyone on here. :)

      PFF ranks the 2025 starting QBs

      By Seltzer · Posted

      100%. And these same people will claim you have an agenda. You can't have it every way. We had the lowest rated defense in the league last year. Statistically the worst ever. By PFF grades (for whatever that's worth- but they are readily accepted, used, and conveyed by most "reputable" sources), the defense was the worst ever. Not only that, PFF rated our receiving corp the worst in football last season. The absolute worst... out of 32 teams. Which is why regardless of the lip service Canales and Morgan paid to the current guys, they knew it would be criminal not to give Bryce more help. People fixating on team stats and not taking these things into context are stupid, plain and simple, and I'm for one thankful they're not running this team (or probably anything for that matter bc they obviously can't discern reality. Again, going back to the eyeball test these Narrative Nancies seem to hate so much, did they not see the windows Bryce was putting balls into? Have the generally not watched much NFL? Please, please show me the film where all these NFL QBs are making throws like this to this point Bryce was "below average" down the stretch compared to them. Bryce made more wow throws in that 3 game stretch of the Bucs, Chiefs, and Eagles than every other QB combined in all the years since since Cam got hurt I genuinely am baffled by people that can watch throws like that and act like it's nothing. I guarantee you Steve Spagnola, Todd Bowles, and and Vic Fangio didn't think it was nothing after watching the little guy torch them with players those teams would be embarrassed to trot out at the skill position players. The national media spent all year making excuses for Mahomes not having elite weapons when he had multiple 1st & 2nd round talents at the skill positions along with future HoFers in Kelce and Hopkins. Bryce wasn't throwing for 300 yards every week with David Moore and Adam Theilen in spite of jaw dropping throws and you want to say the guy played below average. For those people, again, we ain't watching the same sport. And the name calling doesn't change that... The vitriol and projection... it's off the effing charts with these people.

      "Well you see if you remove this terrible game that terrible game this other terrible game and then focus on these games you'll see he's actually one of the better QB's in the league and he's actually as good as Jayden Daniels". My god this place is delusional. I love it.
