Hey Kyle, that player’s name is Trey Mancini and he’s in his first season back after chemotherapy treatments after Stage 3 colon cancer, so maybe, oh I dunno, shut the hell up?
So I just saw that a MLB player didn’t play today because of general soreness. Are you kidding me. It’s September. Everyone is sore. If you can’t play through soreness, you shouldn’t be playing the sport. SMH!

The Nats went 5-0 in elimination games. They won their last 8 postseason road games. They went 4-0 on the road in the World Series against the best home team in baseball. They toppled a 106-win team and a 107-win team. Amazing.

I thought I was a pretty decent Connect Four player. Then I played Max Scherzer in Connect Four this afternoon. He won all four games. Only one was competitive. After the fourth, he stood up, pushed his chair back and said, “You’ve had enough.”

The Nationals lead the World Series 2-0. They’ve rolled into Houston, beaten Cole and Verlander, and won two games over a team with the best home record in the majors.
They’ve won 18 of 20. And they’ve won 8 postseason games in a row - which ties an MLB record.

Gerardo Parra is off to Japan, but he will forever have a place in Nats history. From on-field moments like the grand slam in LA, to helping bring the clubhouse together, to turning tens of thousands of fans into sharks on a nightly basis. His mark on the 2019 Nats was enormous.
Gerardo Parra has agreed with Yomiuri Giants in Japanese baseball. $ 2 MM guaranteed and $ 500 K on bonuses for one year and a $ 3 MM vesting option.

Months ago, Nats offered Bryce a reported 10 for $300 million. My middle-school level math tells me that’s $30 mil/year. Phillies give him 13 for $330 million - $25.4 mil/year. A long winter of negotiating got Bryce a few more years, but a lower AAV than the Nats’ initial offer.
