Considering the video isn't about something happening today you've just shown that you aren't capable of thinking critically and have nothing to provide to the conversation.
I dont really think of the Nationals as a team that came and went quickly. That team had been competing from 2012 all the way to 2019, and they weren't getting any younger. The pitching staff average age went from under 27 to nearly 31 in that span. The 2019 team just happened to get it done in perhaps the last year they really had a good chance to in that window. They peaked at the tail end of a window. There's no shame in that, even if it sucks to dismantle so soon.
Completely agree, in fact they were arguably a powerhouse having 95+ win seasons consistently in the stretch before winning it all as a massive underdog in 2019. But that core was phenomenal for a while
I blame The longtime "curse of DC sports." I am also a 35 year Capitals fan and their playoff misery was legendary. Part of me swore that Ovechkin would retire without a Stanley Cup Then 2018 happened. The Nats? Seemed to be the same fam. Then 2019 happened. I will always adore Howie Kendrick and he'll never have to buy anything in DC ever again.
Rooting for the Padres is like dating a married man, I can't promise you a ring today but just wait for the future, I'm gonna make some moves and it'll all work out, you'll see. Years go by, history repeats itself and you get no ring.
As a nats fan I was on a trip in Cali during the trade deadline and it was crushing seeing the team fall apart and knowing max and trea were coming over to Cali too
The Nationals were old in 2019. But two of their contracts are now anchors. Patrick Corbin signed a 6 year/$140 million contract before the 2019 season. He was great in 2019. Since then, Corbin has been meh at best and awful at worst. The Nationals can't afford to eat Corbin's contract, so he keeps pitching. That size of the contract is the only reason that Corbin is still in MLB. Stephen Strasburg had his only really healthy season in 2019. He went 18-6 and was World Series MVP. Strasburg signed a 7 year/$245 million contract after that season. He's pitched 31 MLB innings since that time. Injuries derailed a promising career and it will be a miracle if he ever pitches again. The contract is not insured.
That Strasburg deal is putrid. It's crazy to me how some Nats fans talk about it being a "reward" for 2019. That's not how a sane team gives out deals. You don't give out a contract like that to a guy with high risk of injury just because he played well for your WS roster in a single season.
Padres just copycat the Dodgers formula on how to build a very competitive team like how the big market plays. There is one missing the Padres lacked with the dodgers.
I am a Nats fan. In July, The Orioles swept The Nationals. That is when I knew that Max and more would be traded. The team was old and it was time. But damn did it hurt. When Max and Tre were traded to LA, I wrote on The Dodgers subreddit about how when Max went into Cooperstown, He would have a Nats hat. Trea Turner had been a PTBNL in a 3 team trade. Trea came from The Padres and he had been their 2014 1st round pick. But Trea could not officially be a Nat until the one year anniversary of his draft day. Soto? That was a shock. He had 2 and a half years before Free Agency. But it was a great haul of prospects. I see the logic now. Then? I was furious. Mackenzie Gore(from SD) is learning and Josiah Gray is good, (from LA)but control is his issue. Keibert Ruiz was blocked in The Dodger farm system. He signed signed an 8 year/50 million dollar deal and is the starting catcher. CJ Abrams (from SD) has been the leadoff hitter in DC the last 4-6 weeks and has been on a huge tear. 2025 could be a very exciting year for The Nationals if it all goes to plan.
I feel like the Nats will compete once Crews comes into the picture. Not sure how good the Nats pitching prospects are but the future seems solid for Washington.
I remember Keibert being the Dodgers number 1 prospect for a while, and then Will Smith came out of nowhere and stole his job. Lowkey not complaining, Will Smith is crazy.
Gore reminds me of Snell. Stuff is great, but command is an issue. I’m glad to see Abrams playing well, but I really want to see what James Wood can do
Finally some respect on late Rizzo's name. What he's done with the franchise not only before the sell off but during has been incredible. The simple concept of time eludes nats fans who complained at the time (though Max/Trea to the evil empire specifically did really sting) and I'm ashamed to like the same team as those who somehow still do. But while people will soon all understand Rizzo's genius isn't limited to splash signings, we REALLY need to start hyping up Martinez. What he's doing with this quad A team right now is unreal. Losing him would be the biggest fuck up in franchise history, and would be looked at decades from now as such.
You guys don’t understand how hard it was to have this rebuild happen as a Nats fan arguably the best short stop traded, a top 3 pitcher of the last 10 years, and the most promising young hitter that has already had postseason success. Everyone talks about the end of the cubs World Series roster but not the Nats
I am a nats fan: it's clear and obvious that it needed to happen. The window was *closed*, what else could we have done? Rizzo deserves all the praise in the world for getting us into the ascendant position we're in so quickly. I'm so thankful every day that we're not another Angels situation with Soto instead of Ohtani, assuming he'd even be who he was before the SD slump.
@@ButterflyBlood ya I know it had to happen but you can’t tell me it’s sad to see are whole World Series core gone and expect for Strasburg, Corbin, Robles, and Tanner Rainey. Like for a Rebuild to happen you not gonna be as excited it takes years and sometimes the prospects don’t even pan out I’m not saying that Rizzo shouldn’t have done the moves he did that did need to happen but are you even sad that this one in a kind World Series team is like almost completely gone and most people don’t really talk about how it’s disappointing to see the fall of this franchise.
also i wonder how much of Rendon's OPS in 2019 was due the ball and if the Angels can sue MLB for artificially inflating his numbers and therefore his contract? anyone else? no? just me?
If that were the case, the Yanks ought to be suing over Judge's inflated contract due to the 2022 ball only their team was getting. Much bigger case there than with the Angels, primarily because every team benefited from the 2019 juiced ball over just 1 team in 2022.
Baseball is a crazy sport; Giants were better than the Dodgers in 2021 but the Dodgers beat them in the NLDS, only to lose to an NL East team in the NLCS. The Dodgers were better than the Padres in 2022 but the Padres beat the Dodgers in the NLDS, again only to lose to an NL East team in the NLCS. Just those moments across two seasons shows how crazy and unpredictable baseball can be.
In three years time, Mike Rizzo will be regarded as a baseball whisperer. We lost our franchise players yes, but the team we have now is young, our farm is fruitful and the future looks bright. Also important note that most people miss, We won the WS in 2019 and the organization was robbed of the celebratory year where much of our roster was retained. Had we been allowed to have a normal celebratory season, things may have turned out different. But from a purely money standpoint they got choked probably more than any other team because they had rightfully earned that season to reap the rewards and at least "try" for a final post season push....but never got it. Had the team pushed in 2020 and 2021 for one last hurrah of sorts to cap off their fantastic 2012-2019 run, it would have meant getting nothing for Turner/Scherzer... Meaning no Josiah Gray nor Keibert Ruiz. Two of our franchise cornering players at this time.
and lastly the Padres are always in the mix for projected WS teams and every year fall apart in August...like clockwork. and look, they're doing it againt his year! they're like the Angels of this national league, proof that pitching, not offense is what wins games.
Can we talk about the the soul crushers in this video that are the Philadelphia Phillies? 2 walk offs in the vid, Beat the Padres in the NLCS, and then stole Trea Turner away from the Dodgers. Man I love my Phil’s.
why would a team coming off a WS with Soto, Turner, Scherzer, Strasburg, Corbin and plenty other fill ins give up. Lerner family and Rizzo knew the fan base would go crazy if Stras or Rendon wasn’t signed which is why they said only one could be resigned. Hope that clears it up. Obviously this is thinking that Stras and Corbin would perform which didn’t work.
I will always be grateful to Scherzer for curbstomping the cheating Astros in his first start and closing out the Giants in Game 5 of the NLDS. I would have liked the Dodgers to have kept him, but wish him well wherever he has gone.
I'm starting to appreciate loosing all those picks and prospects for a Max rental just so the Padres could still be known as the team that still hasn't won a World Series. They were 1 pitcher away from going all the way.
Crazy that Anthony Rendon was ever worth anything, much less $245M. That dude is one of the biggest jokes in MLB history. If the Angels lose Ohtani, you can blame that Rendon contract. Devastating.
I feel like Scherzer is getting a lot of karma because of what he says or who he blames. He had something great here in LA but he blamed the coaching staff for his dead arm. Also, Trea could've been great here too. He just didn't give it a chance. He could've had it all.

The 2019 team did something none of the others could achieve. Refusing to go quietly into the night.
Yeah I completely agree. I probably should’ve spent a minute talking about that

Yes
As a padre fan, I was so excited when I heard this acquisition. Suddenly, the rival dodgers just made me cry.
haha suck it
That's the plan 😂🤣
this video looks so good already
today I learned the Mets aren't in the NL
