Second worst record in the National League

But only the 2nd worst record in the NL East!

They let Hellickson hit in the bottom of the 3rd then brought in a reliever in the T4?

If you did not think that the manager should be on the hot seat, that was a moment to reevaluate you position.

Maybe Dave Martinez should go manage the Mets for a while and Mickey Callaway should manage the Nats... see what happens

Congrats Natinals

A long way from 19-31.

Amazing. People were talking about blowing it up

Bryce brought that title back to DC

Reports are the expected that Strasburg opts out of his remaining 4 years for $100M for his shot at closing out his career for over $200M (seen 7 years at 210 - 240M). I would guess that the Phillies have to put in a bid no matter the chance of him coming to the team.

I'm pretty sure Nationals will get the first shot at Strasburg, and that he wants to stay there. Boras said he will start negotiations with them today or Monday.

If Strasburg leaves D.C., what happens to the deferred money that he is owed?

If he were pitching for another team and they played the Nats, that might be an interesting situation.
