The Nats Thread

[skinsfan_1215]

I'm pretty sure when he said "Jesus" he meant Strasburg because thats the nickname Morgan gave him.

shhh I was messing with him

[TheREALJBird]

Heh not the catcher. Wieters is better anyways!

[RedskinsFan28]

As do I. I'm an O's fan that supports the Nats, to a lesser extent. Both teams are rapidly getting better. O's - Nats 2012 World Series!

I'm glad to see that somebody else agrees that the Nationals have the potential to be contenders come 2012. I say this year the Nats (with much-needed improvements to the bullpen) win AT LEAST 75 games. I'll definitely be going to several games this season.

Nationals > Orioles

It'll be tough following all the games (summer are rough for me with work), but I'm definetly becoming more and more of Nats fan each year. I'm rooting for them hard, and they played decent after Wigglman took over. Adding depth to the roster won't hurt, but having the Phillies in our division is a nightmare by itself. They'll definetly be a better baseball team, but how much better remains to be seen. Keep the faith.

Sweet. I might take off that day just to watch.

[superozman]

I will be on one of the 20+ buses that I have heard about going to the opening day game. Right field will be 98% Phils fans.

Re-he-he-EAAALLLLYYY. So is he going to play with the minors or not?

100% sure. There is no way they bring him up until June. If they bring him up before, he becomes a free agent in 2015. If the bring him up after, he's a free agent in 2016.

Easy call. 1/2 year less now, for a full year of 2016 with him at a 'reasonable' price.

Got you, $ involved. Even if it's preseason, would like to see how he does against major league pitchers. Cool.

He will be facing big-leaguers all spring, but will see 2 months of minor league talent before coming up with the pros in June.

In that case, I hope you will have the opportunity to catch a few Dunn bombs.

I'll be in the RF corner in the 100's.

Strasburg's first spring training start today at 1pm

[Alcoholic Zebra]

I don't know why O's and Nats fanbases have to hate each other. The teams aren't in the same division. This isn't Duke- Carolina here. These are two teams that are in different leagues who see each other...what...6 times per season? Lol. They are family. And Nats are like little brother.

I support both of them.

I feel like this could develop into a Cubs and Sox rivalry.

Strasburg 1-2-3 in his first inning. All ground balls.
