    So, we’re only the second best team. Oh well.

    Unfortunately there is now very recent history to suggest that Hinch's move failed.

    And your argument is premised on driving by looking at the rear view mirror.

    Lots of blame to go around, he's on the list.

    That Osuna line is going to go down in sports history.

    We were never “hot” during the post season...we scrapped by Tampa and NY... Nats came in as WC and were extremely hot... thats how it goes

    It's very simple. Grienke should have stayed in.

    Nats deserved it. Situational hitting, Hinch, and the bullpen screwed the pooch. This team just didn’t have it. Sucks, but it is what it is.

    Great year. Just a bit short. Congrats to the Nats. They deserved it

    Yeah, I'd as a manager from the couch.... Would have stuck with Greinke, I might still have tried the Cole idea at a fresh inning assuming he's warmed up etc but it's risky, but I think worth a shot compared to what we saw...

    The only thing I like more about baseball is that anyone can get hot and win it in October.

    The RISP woes went back to the ALCS tho? It took a big HR from altuve just to make it out in game 6 vs the Yankees when they were about to come back.

    Its great for the regular season but they need to be more aggressive in the postseason.

    Trade Reddick for prospects and Correa for a young SP.

    Sign Rendon.

    We need to cultivate some RP out of the farm to save some $.

    Gentleman it’s been an honor. Goodnight.

    Welp. Atleast it was to a team who had never won it. Tough.
