OT: Nats, Wiz, O's, Ravens, Terps, Navy, Gtown, Mystics, Golf, Summer 2024 (Paris Olympics 2024 as well)

[Ridley Simon]

It’s kinda upsetting. That the O’s are doing nothing. A top SP and or a top RP (or even a big bat) would’ve augmented the team nicely.

I mean, I get not spending our WAD of nuts on rentals etc…. But the pitchers are tiring and it seems reserves are needed.

This seems “chicken shit little” to me.

I stand to correct myself. And the prospects they have up are not what you’d consider “top 10”. But one never knows. Could be some gems in there

 

[Random schmoe]

I don't dislike the deal for Flaherty. Any decent pitching addition will help keep innings off the best 5, let them rest guys a bit.

The whole 'not a top 10 prospect' thing bugs me though. Since the Os farm system is so good and deep, those guys very well might be top 10 on another team. MLB Pipeline put Prieto into the Cardinals top 10 (and they also have a good prospect base). Yes, he was disposable for the Os given who they have ahead of him and I have no issues trading him, but he's still highly likely to be a consistent MLB contributor.
Hell, according to FanGraphs the Os #12 prospect (Jud Fabian) is better than the Cards #6 (Michael McGreevy).

But I still wanted a stud or multi year controllable almost stud.

Nats should have traded Lane Thomas. He's not as good as his numbers this year suggest. They aren't likely to be playoff competitive in the next year or 2, so should be trading anything of value. Hell if I were them I would've seen if anyone was willing to pay up for Gore or Gray. (I acknowledge that may have actually happened and never was reported publicly.)

K back to vacation.

As far a Thomas he's still controlled for two years. I suspect they didn't like the offers. If he has another solid year next year his value could be higher.

Sad to see the ACC crumbling. It looks like the Terps made a very good move to go to the Big Ten when they did.

Pac 12 looks like it’s in even worse shape. College football is changing and not for the better.

These uniforms are fire but it is weird to see Beal in purple.

 

[CapitalsCupReality]

Looking forward to seeing if Beal can be dominant again as a 3rd scoring option with others drawing defensive coverages.

Flaherty looking good on the mound for the O's

I kind of like the low-key move...don't overly disrupt the tight clubhouse and momentum.

If I read the return correct it sounded like just flipping minor leaguers they got from other teams. Not drafted players.

Just selfish thinking it would be great if the Big ten brought in UNC, Duke, and UVA. I miss those basketball games. Sounds like they want West coast teams now.

Nah. I’m not.

I loathe Mat Ishbia. He’s an unscrupulous turd. I want nothing more than to see his prized new toy, fail miserably.

And before anyone gives me some inane “what, did he steal your girlfriend” crap, I am in the same industry as he is. I’ve seen the shit he pulls. He’s a total and complete phony.

I remember watching this live. 30 years seems like yesterday. Even crazier, I am the same age today as Ryan was then, 46.

I also recall watching live…..Ryan was an all time favorite of mine. What a horse….. he gave Ventura the business lol….

Ahh well….I’m not caught up in all that. Hoping Beal does well is all.

I wish I was 46.

Ryan was the man. I think best pitcher ever.

Didn’t expect you to be. But I’m rooting against Beal. Due to his team.

I wish he’d ended up in Sacramento. That would’ve be a lot of fun.

I always like Wall more than Beal so tbh. I feel a bit more on the hate side he forced his trade to a team that had already traded away a bunch of their 1st round picks, sigh.

 

[John Price]

Dylan Crews and the FredNats were down 7-0 in the ninth and tied it up. Crews could bat twice this inning.

Horschel or Glover would be great stories. JT too far back, but a big day would be big for his Ryder Cup push.

Walls inability to shoot was a huge weakness in the playoffs
