Who do we pull for tonight?

Phillies are closer in the standings, but the Nats are the bigger threat in the long run.

Im pulling for gNats unfortunately. Gives us a 2.5 game lead. But that means gNats only stay 3 back.

They've really annoyed me on the whole situation. First he was supposed to start rehab a week and a half ago, then it was last weekend, then it was during the Toronto trip, then it actually happened this weekend, and all of this was with no setbacks and Acuna feeling great and looking impressive in his workouts.

If this is last season, yeah, it's fine, we were already done and no need to really get in any kind of hurry. But we're in first place with two teams nipping at our heals. He was healthy enough to come back 2 weeks ago.

Chewbaccer said:

I get the players love him, but at the same time, he needs to realize this isn't AAA anymore. From everything I've heard, the players love Ron Washington too, and I had zero complaints about Snit when he was our third base coach.

I dont even know if this is possible but if you want to Keep Snit Manager...hire a pitching Coach and give him 100% control of the pitching rotation, pitching changes, etc.

Trade Rumors: Beltre, Britton, Boyd,

AA is interested in Beltre.....WE DONT NEED A 3B!!!Camargo and Culberson will provide more than enough production.......WE NEED BULLPEN ARMS!!!

Chewbaccer said:

Beltre has 10 and 5 rights. I doubt he'd approve a trade.

And if we're gonna get a rental at third, I'd go for Moustakas.

Hamels is my #1 target at the deadline. Brad Hand is #2.

Chewbaccer said:

Hamels or Happ and I'd be happy, but if we don't address the bullpen, it's gonna be a long second half. The rotation isn't great, especially the 3-5 spots(Newk and Folty are 1-2 as far as I'm concerned), but they're good enough to get us to the postseason. We won't get to the World Series with them, but just playing October baseball sounds like heaven after these last few years. But with an underwhelming rotation, we won't get there if we don't fix the bullpen.
