Newtonres7586 Posted October 20, 2019 Share Posted October 20, 2019 I don't know beans about the Nationals. I don't even like the National league, and never watch them. Scherzer and Strasburg will battle with Cole and Verlander in a good one. I think Houston in six. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

topher805 Posted October 20, 2019 Share Posted October 20, 2019 The starting pitching matchup is going to be stellar. Cole-Scherzer; Verlander-Strausburg; Greinke-Corbin Houston should win this series, but after Washington took out LA, I will take nothing for granted. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stoney Posted October 20, 2019 Share Posted October 20, 2019 Get to enjoy watching two of the best young lefty swings in the game, Soto and Alvarez. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No he is feared enough to make them make pitching changes all the time to get an advantage, all he needs is a good shot and he is back in the groove. Beats Tyler White by a long shot Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaveTV1 Posted October 20, 2019 Share Posted October 20, 2019 The Nationals have had some mean pitching in their playoff run. If the Astros bats stay cold, I can see the Nats pulling it off, but I'm going with my Stros in 6. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What is there to complain about? He is making $25.39m a year, his friends are playing for a championship... What is worth more? $330m or a championship? I think I would take the $330m also....

He was made an offer for around the same amount. I'd rather be playing on a World Series contender than some spare parts team for even $30 million less. The Nats have been knocking on the door since 2012, except for 2018 but they still finished second in their division last year. Oddly enough the Phillies haven't made the playoffs since 2012. https://www.federalbaseball.com/2019/1/4/18168273/washington-nationals-last-offer-to-bryce-harper-much-more-than-300m-according-to-report Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, making $20+ mil a year to live in a place that loved having him, I think you could make it a better place to live without the hassle of moving and trying to re-establish yourself elsewhere. I wasn't aware that Washington got close to matching it... my guess is that the agent saw a slightly bigger number and talked him into to pad his pockets a little more as well.

That is an understatement for people not making as much as these rich ball players ... most ordinary people can't afford to live there and commute anywhere from 2 to 3 hours each way every day .... I almost had to relocate there to work at the Pentagon during my AF days ... very expensive to live there plus having to commute would have been a bummer ....

I've been to Philly and D.C., and I would much rather live in D.C. or Chevy Chase, Maryland than Philly. Plus, he probably already owned a home or townhouse in Washington. I doubt if the taxes are much different, because both towns are run by Democrats that want to tax their citizens so much. Traffic is bad in both cities, and the Beltway in D.C. is terrible. The narrow streets in Philly are worse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
