Unfortunately there is now very recent history to suggest that Hinch's move failed. And your argument is premised on driving by looking at the rear view mirror.
We were never “hot” during the post season...we scrapped by Tampa and NY... Nats came in as WC and were extremely hot... thats how it goes
Nats deserved it. Situational hitting, Hinch, and the bullpen screwed the pooch. This team just didn’t have it. Sucks, but it is what it is.
Yeah, I'd as a manager from the couch.... Would have stuck with Greinke, I might still have tried the Cole idea at a fresh inning assuming he's warmed up etc but it's risky, but I think worth a shot compared to what we saw...
The RISP woes went back to the ALCS tho? It took a big HR from altuve just to make it out in game 6 vs the Yankees when they were about to come back. Its great for the regular season but they need to be more aggressive in the postseason.
Trade Reddick for prospects and Correa for a young SP. Sign Rendon. We need to cultivate some RP out of the farm to save some $. Gentleman it’s been an honor. Goodnight.
