Let's go Commanders!!

Maestro works PR for the Os and the Ravens...

They'll have to clean up the penalties and sloppy play if they want to beat the packers on Thursday. The good news is they definitely left alot of meat on the bone but the game never really felt in doubt. I think their roster Is much more talented this year.

Boris clients have signed extensions over the years. Yes he does like to take his ciients to Free agency but Boris works for the player. Not the other way around. Blaming the agent takes the blame away from the failure that Elias has been for the last 2 years. I'm pretty sure you work in the PR department at the warehouse.

Basillo 8 year Contract extension. Wow

He's under team control through 2027 so maybe he pitches in 27 but I wouldn't be surprised If his career is over. They basically had to reattach his shoulder. It's a shame. He was so dominant before he had TJ in 2023. There's no high leverage arms left in the bull pen. Cano stinks. Lots of retooling to do. You can start to see the Forrest through the trees for next year. Need a starter or 2. Add a closer and a couple late inning options and a veteran bat. There line up suddenly looks alot better with Basillo and Beavers inserted in to it. I saw a stat yesterday that they have the 5th best record in baseball since May 24th. Almost for half a season. Just shows how awful they were to start.

Something between his current self and AJ Preller would be great. Talk about a guy going for it every trade deadline. Do they even have a current AAA roster?

You would think they would be in the market for a front line starter wether through free agency or via trade and also a mid rotation type. You can never have enough with arm injuries these days. I wouldn't count on getting anything from Rodriguez and who knows with Bradish/ Wells coming off TJ. Wells is better suited for a set up man IMO. Yes, Rodgers has been amazing but is it a blip or is he suddenly a staff ace.

You win championships doing it both ways that compliment each other. All teams that are continuously good do it this way. Except for the rays. Some how they trade there best players and still are a perennial post season team most years.

This is what drives me nuts about Elias. He held off calling him up just for the remote possibility of him appearing on 2 out of the 3 top 100 prospect lists before next year's season and then he goes on to win the rookie of the year award for an extra draft pick at the end of round 1 in 2027. Seems far fetched. He gets more enjoyment out of building an elite farm system rather than having an elite major league roster.

If I'm Rubenstein, Elias is gone at the end of the season. And the entire coaching staff is gone too. The young core pretty much all went backwards this year.

I'm an Orioles/commanders fan so I have decades of sports misery. Growing up in the 80s I'm sure there's plenty of others my age that root for those 2 teams. That time frame between when the colts left and the Nats werent here yet.

No hits since the first 3 batters of the game.
