Is Jamie Moyer available? Ben Mcdonald come down out of the booth to pitch? They cut Palmers games in half this year. Maybe he could pitch every 5th day.

I'm thinking back over the last decade or 2. And that was a rough 10 minute stretch in the second period for the special teams. But they did pull it out with a great 3rd period.

Except for 1 magical run to the cup in 2018 the caps always know how to disappoint in the playoffs.

Westburg batting under .200 Gunner and Adley both heading there. This line up is not very good right now.

Mike Elias was dead wrong on not picking up Danny Columbe's option. He's perfect so far this year. Era of .00

Logan Thomas very Holtby'esk with that diving save in the 3rd period. Looked like Holty in game 5 of the Stanley cup finals

The young stars continue to disappoint. I don't know what is wrong with Adley but something changed around the allstar break last year. I'll give Henderson a break for another few weeks.

Let's go caps!

Os are 0-5 when Morton starts. 9-7 with anyone else. Time to move on from Morton. I'm assuming we will be subjected to atleast another month of this. Maybe more.

That was intense for about 5 minutes. Wow. Sounded like a freight train when leading edge of the wind hit.

After seeing Elias's deadline deals last year and this past off-season what gives any confidence things will be better next year? Or the year after? He obviously knows how to scout and draft talented position players but what has he done with it? I thought he was going to follow Houstons blue print, but that stopped when it came time to pony up real money lol.

Elias likes your thinking.

What pisses me off the most is you've got all these Youngs guys making basically league minimum and Elias isn't willing to pay an ace. There was some options out there this past winter. Including the guy in Arizona. You are right. Elias totally blew it. This is not a good team as currently constructed.

Starting pitching on this team is a disaster. You just can't win consistently with what there rolling out there most days

There roster is less talented this year compared to last year. We're heading in the wrong direction. I actually think their young position talent is a bit overrated. All high strike out/low on base % types. I don't think it's a coincidence the offense goes away in the playoffs when your facing the best pitching. And Mayo is wasting away in triple A. He either needs to be up in the bigs or trade him for a legit top of the rotation starter. What are we doing lol.

Crochet could of been gotten but you would of had to give up one or both of Mayo and Basiello and the Os would of never extended Crochet like the Sox did.

This era of Os baseball will be over before we know it. Adley through 27 and Gunner through 28. And that's if they don't trade them prior to there FA to start another rebuild. They peaked 2 years ago. It's unfortunate , but with Elias unwilling to spend big or trade the talent that's stuck at triple A for the pitching this team depserately needs this is what we're stuck with. I've already moved on from this season for having any post season expectations of this team.

I know the last couple weeks of games for the caps haven't meant a lot but don't like how there playing at all. Defense has been porus for weeks now. I know there resting alot of players tonight but it's been rough for a while now. Hopefully they can turn it on against Montreal next week.

Unfortunately he just can't stay healthy. Bradish might be back before him.

It's still very early but so far the current roster construction has multiple flaws from last year and none were fixed and in some cases got worse. All the attention is on Burnes leaving but O'Neil is not Santander. Santander was one of the few clutch hitters the Os had last year. They are worse in multiple spots. Oneill worse than Santander. Morton much,much worse than Burnes. Lacking at back up catcher. Worse in the outfield. This is looking like a 70 win team. This is on Elias no doubt.

Oh I agree. Feels like Elias took winning for granted.

When does Hyde get fired?

Damn. I was close.

If this was winter people would be freaking out lol. The difference between 2 to 4 and 12 to 18.

Go Euro. My son has a baseball tournament this weekend up by Hershey. Hoping the Euro has the right idea.
