At least the reaction for Werth cheers just about out weighed the boos, I was at that game. Nats fans really should blame ownership.

 

Lol games been on 5 mins its 2-0 philly

 

Harper/Hoskins reminds me of the golden years of Utley/Howard.

 

And it can potentially be even better!

 

as a mets fan that makes me wanna puke but i get it

 

It really can ! So I'm guessing Vinny V is strictly in the pen now ?

 

I totally forgot Jamie Moyer was on that 08 World Series team

 

I’m sure if the roles were reversed Philly would give Bryce the business in the same exact scenario. And while I blame ownership the most, Bryce (who I still like and will root for) could’ve insisted to Boras to get a deal done (just like Strasburg), especially after their first offer if he truly 100% wanted to stay here.

 

Hm i'm not sure, I think with just so many off days they had Nola start again cause he was rested?

 

They would throw batteries at Bryce, straight up.

 

This interested me, so I wanted to check their peak real quick.

Peak year: 2006
Utley - 7.2 fWAR
Howard - 5.9 fWAR

Might be hard for Hoskins to get there, but I could see Harper and JT doing this.

 

please enlighten me on what fWAR is

 

fangraphs Wins Above Replacement

 

Anyway, maybe this gets people talking more about how much the Lerners suck. God help me if they don’t re-sign Rendon.

 

I think he wanted to stay but I also think it left a bad taste in his mouth what they offered to him and how they offered it.

 

I was at that game too and yeah there were boos, but a whole lotta cheers too. Winning the WS and being a fan fave might've helped though.

 

That was my thought, Nola is really struggling.

 

How do you approach an owner who offers you a $107M NPV contract with that Philly offer on the table?

 

The second offer definitely, the first 10 year/300 million one was a fair starting point; Boras has his game he plays too, though.

 

Nola gettin whacked

 

Absolutely, if he wasnt such a force during the WS run things may have been different. Alshon Jeffrey is a good example

 

And WAR is basically how many less games a team would win without said player?

 

Like this is the kind of shit that’s infuriating to read after last night:

 

Kind of. Its a calculation that estimates how many more wins the player provides the team over that of a AAA player, all things equal.

 

Nate's wrong here. I remember getting boo'd and yelled at there when I was wearing my Wings jersey. lol
