The Official Washington Nationals Thread

[005]

5 shutout innings, 2 hits, 0 walks, 4 ks.

 

[YankeeVol]

Too bad the bullpen blew it

 

[005]

4 game sweep of the Phillies

 

[YankeeVol]

Strasburg Ks 10 in the final

Nats finish only a game under .500 for the season

Storen: 43 saves

 

[005]

If we got to play 162, we'd be .500

Strasburg ended the season in FINE fashion.

Nationals catcher Wilson Ramos has been kidnapped in Venezuela. Scary stuff.

 

[Heebs]

Holy crap. That's intense.

Nationals catcher Wilson Ramos has been kidnapped in Venezuela. Scary stuff.

Wow. That is not good.

 

[zjcvols]

Really, really bad.

 

[YankeeVol]

Craziness

 

[YankeeVol]

Nats should make a run for the Division this upcoming year if they can get some offense

 

[005]

They definitely could, especially if Fielder somehow ends up aboard or Harper flourishes.

Team to watch, certainly.

 

[golfballs]

But most likely not, jmo

 

[YankeeVol]

I think Harper will do pretty well.

 

[005]

But most likely not, jmo

What is preventing them from being right there in the division, exactly?

What is preventing them from being right there in the division, exactly?

He's probably a Braves fan

 

[TBrown]

I definitely dont think this year. Next year and forward though.

 

[005]

Whispers that the Nationals lead for Fielder

 

[TBrown]

Doesnt surprise me at all. Been bracing for this for 2 years. Still think it's the 2013 season before they make significant noise.

 

[005]

I'd like to see us get Fielder, or Yoenis Cespedes.

Nationals sign Gio Gonzalez to a 5 year extention.

As of now, our young pitchers and being under team control:
Jordan Zimmerman until 2015
Gio Gonzalez until 2016 (club options for 2017 and 2018)
Stephen Strasburg until 2016

 

[shelbyvillevol]

Signed Brad Lidge to a 1 year deal.

 

[005]

Love the signing

 

[shelbyvillevol]

Love the signing

If he comes in healthy, it's an awesome pick up.

 

[aredfox28]

Awesome, I hope we can compete this year, last year wasn't too bad
