What'd the Nats do?

Drafted Lucas Giolito. He was one of top pitching prospects in the draft but his stock dropped because of his injury. The guy is filthy. He was clocked at throwing 100 a couple of times. His potential has been compared to Verlander or Halladay.

The young pitching both the Nationals and the Braves have will be obscene on day soon.

Damn.

6 man rotations.

Banned.

Nice job, nats.

if you get banned for even mentioning adblocker then i don't think i want anything to do with this forum.

 

[tc farks]

That's great but it should also be noted the Nats are going to absolutely destroy their $ allotment. Their bonus pool is just shy of 4.5 million. Giolito will take up almost all of it if he's signed. Guessing they will be one of the 1st penalized teams.

For a young kid with elbow issues there's certainly a recipe for disaster there.

A fair point. They're going to be severely limited for the rest of the draft...

But, they took the risk on a high-ceiling arm. Kinda wish the Mets did that, but honestly what the hell do any of us know. I'll trust the FO's judgment.

 

[McNei1y]

We may have lost AJ Cole, Peacock, and Millone but damn the next wave of pitchers for the Nats is so delicious. Purke, Solis, Ray, Meyer, and now Giolito. Heck yes!

 

[CygnusXS]

Liking this Sims pick. Will be interesting to follow him through the system. Hopefully he turns into something useful.

 

[G-Fex]

You've got to be kidding me Phillies

 

[HarryDemeanor]

Yes! Dodgers!

Now to not fuck this up.

Really hoping the yankees would pick him, damn braves.

 

[cashman]

I'm okay with picking Lewis Brinson. Could be awesome, could be nothing.

 

[G-Fex]

Yes! Dodgers!

Now to not fuck this up.

COME ON PHILLIES

 

[Malo]

I like the Ty Hensely pick.

 

[HarryDemeanor]

COME ON PHILLIES

DODGERS WIN! DODGERS WIN! DODGERS WIN!

 

[G-Fex]

DODGERS WIN! DODGERS WIN! DODGERS WIN!

typical dodgers junk.

Booo, they better lose the next few games.

 

[Branduil]

Feldman is trash. I can't believe people thought he could be a starting pitcher.

 

[ToxicAdam]

Feldman is trash. I can't believe people thought he could be a starting pitcher.

But ... he's tall.

 

[Windu]

have you seen the mariners and a's offenses though? they are like the 27' yankees.

Spoiler

[rando14]

Ahahaha @ Santanas ERA at 8 in odd innings and 1.4 in even innings. Wtf?

EDIT: Holy shit the curse is true, just gave up 4 runs in the 5th

 

[Joe Shlabotnik]

Haha, Texas getting no-hit in the 6th. They're giving these things out like candy lately.

Edit: 7th!

 

[Branduil]

Does Ron Washington get fired if the Rangers miss the postseason?

 

[clemenx]

No hitter!

 

[G-Fex]

Rangers..wha..

HOLY SHIT

 

[Sanjuro]

A's trying to knock the mighty Mets off their throne.

 

[rando14]

Parker won't go all the way, he's thrown too many and it's only the 7th.

 

[Mr. Enigma]

NO HITTER THROUGH 7

 

[CygnusXS]

No-hitters for everyone!

 

[clemenx]

Bring back steroids!

Lol at that fan.

 

[G-Fex]

I'm sure Oakland is happy as fuck.

Good for them!

 

[Branduil]

I'm sure Oakland is happy as fuck.

Good for them!

All 5 of them.

 

[rando14]

Oh fuck League's coming out, 3 run HR incoming.

 

[Sanjuro]

Holy shit at that Dodgers game. Phillies got fleeced.

Papelbon to ump: "You know you fucked that up, right!?"

There are times I miss the guy...

 

[CygnusXS]

Bring back steroids!

Agreed

 

[Windu]

[Joe Shlabotnik]

Just make pitchers throw from second base.

 

[Sanjuro]

fuck steroids, bring back the hard drugs. i want 80s baseball again.

Fuck the hard drugs, I want the third inning to be a Five Hour Energy advert. A new American tradition.

 

[RBH]

Awwww, no-hitter broken up.

 

[CygnusXS]

When does Blurnsball happen again?

 

[Windu]

When does Blurnsball happen again?
