A lifelong Nats fan, he has seen a lot of Nationals come and go.
I don't even know why I am answering your pm.

I get it. Harper, Scherzer, Rendon, etc. But the ring usually forgives all.
No PM sent from me

Meant your post... long day. But yes just some of the players. Haven't told him about James yet. Maybe if they do ok he will be forgiving.
I will let him get over it.
I wonder how Tatis is feeling now?
Manny Machado is easily (in my opinion) the most underrated Baseball player in my lifetime.
under or over? Confused he was terrible last night correct?
Kinda hard to say a guy with a $300 Million contact is underrated. Under appreciated maybe? Padres fans sure appreciated the way he played last night.

Certainly the most underrated leader. I shake my head at people who consider him the epitome of the selfish modern player. Tells me more about them than Machado.
I mean, he took the time to learn simple Korean phrases (including 'I love you') so he can shout them to Kim when he's on-deck or in the box.

San Diego does not care about Tatis' feelings. There's still significant anger in the fan base.
He can still be forgiven, but he's got to play it right. I trust Melvin and Machado to guide him appropriately, but the kid has to grow up.

As if on cue, he wasn't included on the list of finalists for the NL Gold Glove. Insane
@JCG posted:Crazy. Well, he does have a couple. Has there EVER been a 3B better at throwing batters out on slow rollers or especially balls hit to his right side?
No there has not been. Merv Rettenmund, who played with Brooks, says that Manny is the superior defender. Good enough for me.

I think he’s the best 3B of All Time… especially if you go with the theory that today’s athletes are more advanced than ever and face the best pitching ever… Manny gives you 154 games a year, 30+ HR’s, hits .280, incredible defense, insanely great leadership… if Manny was time machined into Mike Schmidt’s era he’d hit 50+ bombs a year and play Shortstop…I grew up in Baltimore, sat in the third base box seats and watched Brooks Robinson. Manny is better on defense than Brooks was…
Most people would scoff at the thought of Manny as the best 3B ever. Thus my point: I think he’s the most underrated player in my lifetime
