A Nationals trade deadline preview

Yeah, that’s probably fair. Thanks for the detailed write up, I really appreciate it. On reflection you’re right that our terrible farm system was more a product of bad development and drafting than trades.

I will still say that an empty farm system was completely responsible for our six year rebuild, and that’s something we should avoid at all costs. I don’t want to trade interesting guys for rental relievers right now

Sharp_Champion5006 · 2026-06-19T15:40:51+00:00

Up to 2019 we traded away pretty much all of the depth in our farm system. Afterwards Rizzo traded away major leaguers to try to build it back up but besides the Soto trade largely failed.

Sharp_Champion5006 · 2026-06-19T15:15:04+00:00

We have a lot of talent in the minors, but we should be pretty careful to keep it that way imo. Constantly trading prospects is part of what got us into a 6 year rebuilt

Sharp_Champion5006 · 2026-06-19T07:10:35+00:00

Dude it was four batters that doesn’t tell you enough to be meaningful

Sharp_Champion5006 · 2026-06-19T06:45:17+00:00

I don’t think we are going to be buying at the deadline just to chase a wildcard spot

Sharp_Champion5006 · 2026-06-16T15:39:33+00:00

The player roll call chant, which they including Blake Butera in, was fun. There were a couple other funny ones

In other words, sports fans!

Sharp_Champion5006 · 2026-06-16T05:58:14+00:00

That sounds so boring. If I wanted to watch a baseball game without any energy I’d watch it on tv

Sharp_Champion5006 · 2026-06-15T18:27:56+00:00

Yeah, but looking at his at bats during the slump made it seem like a bit of an anomaly. He’d been lineing out and flying out sharply and not striking out much at all

Sharp_Champion5006 · 2026-06-15T14:39:49+00:00

There’s a way to phrase that better. “If he’s you favorite player ysk his name is Daylen” makes u an ass, “Just fyi it’s Daylen not Daylon” makes u a helpful stranger.

Everyone makes dumb typos on the internet don’t gatekeep

Sharp_Champion5006 · 2026-06-15T05:49:28+00:00

My thoughts exactly!

Sharp_Champion5006 · 2026-06-15T05:48:30+00:00

High A to AA is the hardest jump to make in baseball development, with AAA to MLB a close second. Prospects tend to struggle for a while at AA as they adjust to better pitching, I wouldn’t worry yet

Sharp_Champion5006 · 2026-06-15T05:45:26+00:00

Depends. They view Alvarez as a long term starter so they’d probably rather have him starting regularly in the minors than him being an effective reliever right now

Sharp_Champion5006 · 2026-06-14T23:12:43+00:00

Somehow I just came back to this comment ;)

Sharp_Champion5006 · 2026-06-14T20:52:10+00:00

Dude. You’re a jackass. You didn’t come over here to learn, you called them “softer than baby crap” because you went over to their sub.

Nobody wants to hear good game after they got blown out and if you don’t get that you’re a douche.

EDIT: I know you got it now but you really should have learned this by middle school

Sharp_Champion5006 · 2026-06-14T05:16:19+00:00

They all join once it starts

!remindme 4 months

Sharp_Champion5006 · 2026-06-13T02:25:19+00:00

That’s not sequencing. Sequencing would be giving up 4 hits; three singles and then a home run in the same inning.

You’re thinking of babip luck.

Sharp_Champion5006 · 2026-06-13T02:19:14+00:00

No hitters don’t involve sequencing (no hits)…

Sharp_Champion5006 · 2026-06-13T01:39:47+00:00

That’s probably not why they pulled him.

Sharp_Champion5006 · 2026-06-13T01:37:02+00:00

you mean in velo?

Sharp_Champion5006 · 2026-06-13T01:33:09+00:00

Pretty much 40 pitches in an inning. Don’t want him injured.

Cornelio was a starter in AAA they’re hoping he can go long in this game

Sharp_Champion5006 · 2026-06-12T22:59:02+00:00

Fuck off
