This should be interesting to see in practice.

I cannot believe I guy I went to HS with, who I (pathetically in comparison) played playground sports with, is the head coach of UNC.

WOW.

 

[ALLCAPSALLTHETIME]

Mariners beat the Os 4-2 in the first game of a doubleheader. Mariners 7-5. Os 5-7.

Let’s go Ms!!!

 

[ALLCAPSALLTHETIME]

Mariners win the second game of the doubleheader 2-1 and take 3 of 4 in the series. Ms 8-5 and the Os 5-8.

Let's go Ms!!!

Nats aren't much better. Corbin has a 40 era

Tbh I am a Nats fan but Corbin just pitched poorly today. Gave up 10 runs.

Zards nice win...

 

[Ovechkins Wodka]

Hate to see Max and Stras pitch gems and get no run support

 

[Jacoby4HOF66]

Schwarber stroked that.

Wiz so streaky

go into 2nd half losing like 7 straight

are they trying to tank or make the playoffs?

They have the 28th-hardest strength of schedule left while a few of the teams they’re chasing are in the top 8, some even in the top 5. They’re tied with Chicago and Toronto for the final play-in spot in terms of win %. Beal said post-game last night that he’s “100%” out-of-town scoreboard watching.

They’re going for it.

The problem is that other than the top 3 the East really peters out with mediocrity. The remaining 5 seeds are all .500 or below. The 4 teams in the playin are worse.

I don't know if going for the playoffs is the right road here. They would just be fodder for other teams and even if they made it in the field of 8 Milwaukee / Philly / Brooklyn would just beat them

 

[Cush]

It's a pattern: Start off terrible, then play better, then lose, then better down the final stretch. It's why they never make changes. Looking forward to it happening again next year.

 

[Ridley Simon]

Of course they will lose to one of the top seeds. The only team they’d be able to at least “run with” is Brooklyn. They seem to match up well with them. Plus Brooklyn’s team seems extremely injury prone.

All that said, it’s a dumb strategy. They should be building for the future, not striving to be the 10th best team in the East. It’s screams poor planning, and a silly desperation borne from years of wallowing in pathetically bad management.

My guess it’s only to appease Beal, so he will stay. Which just immediately circles back to terrible management by the team and zero forethought and planning towards a winning future.

Worst of the worst.

 

[TRASHCAT]

East is weak, they could beat Toronto or the nets

 

[Ovechkins Wodka]

Anyone make the All Washington parlay today? Caps, Nats, and Wiz all with wins

[CapitalsCupReality]

I can’t be the only one who was surprised to see Stewart Cink is only 47. Could have sworn he was already on the Sr Tour LOL!

pulling for the old man today!

 

[Jacoby4HOF66]

COVID crowd looks like a normal Nats crowd.

 

[max21]

Golf is so damn hard, and frustrating. Yet I still spend stupid amounts of money on it

 

[John Price]

Not a good day for the local teams today

Caps lost and Nats also down 3 runs 5-2

 

[Ovechkins Wodka]

Wiz now slotted for 10th pick but tied for last spot the play in round

Same. I would've bet he was 50+ and lost.

GO OLDS!
