Waiting for the next team to breakthrough. Nats, Caps, Hokies, Commanders and Mystics mostly.

Just looking at the picture here clearly fits their recent trend of getting guys with weird deliveries
Why do bash "tanking" teams for selling off all of their players but we never question if the player has bad vibes? Or if they're just unpleasant to be around?
That's it for Casey Mize, who's yanked after just 3 1/3 innings in his Padres' debut after 11-day layoff. He gives up 9 hits (including 5 in a row) and 5 runs with 3 walks and a strikeout, departing with two runners on base. He induced just 2 swings and misses in his 77 pitches.
You know Max Scherzer will be so jealous when he hears about this
The good news is the Nats have the pitcher due up third next inning with no hitters left on the bench
He's running an impressive 45 percent strikeout rate in Wilmington
Former No. 5 overall pick Elijah Green gets his first promotion to Double-A Harrisburg and is in the Senators' starting lineup tonight in Bowie, batting seventh and playing left field.
By all evidence Harper hates the outfield wall and wants to stay away from it as much as possible
Only one game, obviously, but: wow, Bryce Harper was playing shallow in RF last night baseballsavant.mlb.com/savant-playe...
Please read my adaptation of The Great Gatsby where he obsesses over Daisy's sex mandate tattoo.
i'm locked in on this film sorry to anyone else
Wow the long awaited Andrew Pickney debut, what a day for @ajflax.bsky.social and his fellow sickos.
I broke down the Nats trade deadline, why they traded who they traded, what they got in return and how it hopefully fits into an accelerated plan for contention. nextyeardc.com/post/TradeDe...

Really nice of the Yankees to make Luis Garcia feel at home like this.
THIS GAME! Nathan Church powers the @Cardinals back in front!
I need a moratorium on saying beating Philadelphia is easy
Hey, maybe beating Philadelphia IS easy!
"You want relief pitchers? You want relief pitchers?! Here's your goddamn relief pitchers!" - Paul Toboni this deadline
Foster Griffin was traded for Will Dion, Josh Hartle, Kendeglys Virguez and Nick Mitchell
Gut reaction is this is a good trade because despite how much I liked Franklin last deadline the Nats really don't need outfielders and they do need pitchers. I'll have to look into Glassey more.
Nats make another prospect-prospect trade. Christian Franklin to the O’s for RHP Joe Glassey, another reliever with massive K numbers in the minors. Interestingly, Franklin clears a 40-man spot. Wonder if that means anything.
The Phillies made it to the World Series with Schwarber and Castellanos in the same outfield so I'm not surprised they've decided defense isn't real
Don Mattingly said the plan is for Bryce Harper to play RF, Alec Bohm to play 1B and Bryson Stott to be at 3B. Luis Arraez will be here Tuesday. Mattingly said the Phillies will have to “ease” Harper into right field, and it’s unclear how they will do that.
Up on @fangraphs.com is my analysis of the Luis García trade. blogs.fangraphs.com/the-yankees-...
The Yankees Bulk up the Offense With Luis García Jr.
New York gets a player whose bat should play well in the Bronx to boost its beleaguered lineup, while Washington gets the pitching depth it sorely needs.

This is either going to be some real lottery ticket nonsense or Toboni has the Rizzo trade juice
The Yankees will be sending four prospects to the Nationals in the Luis García Jr. trade, sources tell ESPN.
I agree with Flax that García Jr. makes sense to deal since he's close to free agency and they have other options, but it's still weird to think you must trade for 45 and 40 FV prospects or else you're a failure.
It’s a brand new newsletter! I previewed the Nationals trade deadline. If you’re buying and selling, who do you buy, and who do you sell? open.substack.com/pub/wfcg/p/w...
I wish the Dodgers could simply be seen as annoying without having to be a referendum
