I’m sitting 28 rows back on the first base side of the infield, so it’s really more for protection than anything, but I don’t want to look dumb.

As the lone dual M's/Nats fan (not just on this blog, I mean EVER), I've decided I want to see the Nats pummel the M's

Why? Because the M’s need Strasburg more than the Nats ever could. The Nats actually have some hope for the future right now. The M’s…not so much as long as Bavasi and Armstrong are still in charge.

by esoteric on Jun 14, 2008 7:31 PM PDT reply reply actions actions   0 recs

No shit, you're serious?

I didn’t think it was possible. Born and raised in DC, started rooting for the M’s in 1995 because we didn’t have a team and I thought it would be cute to pay attention to the “other” Washington. Then the Nats came to town. And then I moved to the middle of the country, of course, rendering my chosen fan affiliations incomprehensible to most people.

He’s not the terrible manager he’s made out to be, he just has the misfortune of fielding a godawful team. It’s Bavasi and Armstrong that are the problem.

Again, I’m not exactly a fan of McLaren, I just think he’s not as terrible at his job as many here do. He’s no Manny Acta, of course, but he’s no Willie Randolph either.

We go too far the other way, to be fair.

Beltre’s awful performance with RISP isn’t something to be disregarded completely as statistical ‘noise’ – Alfonso Soriano is a classic example of a player who simply chokes like a dog with RISP in a statistically significant way – but the moron fans overdo it, of course.

by esoteric on Jun 14, 2008 8:20 PM PDT to parent up reply reply actions actions   0 recs

True, although...

The one fact that seems to be ignored is that’s the first time he’s done that throughout his career. I’m pretty sure he’s had RISP numbers mirroring his regular numbers in 2004-2007. Fluke fluke fluke (trying to do too much because the rest of the team sucks).

by AtomicGarden on Jun 14, 2008 8:22 PM PDT to parent up reply reply actions actions   0 recs

Beltre is just plain having a mysterious season.

His LD rate is way higher than his monster 2004 campaign, but his BABIP and BA/RISP are no where near his career norms. It just defies logic.

Hahaha,

on one of the higher pitches that Beltre fouled off the catcher was basically standing up to catch it, and KA is the man!

Beltre is unclutch!

There was no one on base when he hit that! Why doesn’t he let people get on base before he hits his homeruns. Beltre is bad. Lets trade him and the rest of our good players to the dodgers for bad players.

They still exist?

The only thing I know by them is that “millions of peaches” song. Which my girlfriend loves in a very ironic sense.

And I think Jason Finn reads this blog.

Oh, and I met him last night

Really awesome guy. If he is reading, I was the really good looking kid that you offered a donut to last night back stage in Portland.

It actually was not meant at all to be sexual

It’s actually about a crush he had on a girl who had a peach tree in her front yard, and he wanted to talk to her but whenever he wanted to he would hesitate and proceed to squash peaches in his fist to blow off some steam.

I grew up with their first album (I was born in ‘94), and that was the only album I listened to until now. They’re really really great. Still.

YOU WERE BORN IN NINETEEN NINETY-FUCKING-FOUR???

My god, I am old. I am ancient. I am decaying. I was born in 1980.

Jeebus Christ, you really are 14 years old, aren’t you?

You are fourteen?

Wow, that does explain a lot.

Yes, I'm a girl. Yes, I know baseball. Yes, I even drink beer.
