@granthpaulsen "Tarik Skubal just threw a middle-middle strike that was called a ball. He challenged. X seconds later the scoreboard showed the ball landing in the strike zone. Overturned to a strike out. Took seconds. Crowd had a big reaction to the visual on the board. Just fast and awesome. Tough scene for the it will ruin everything crowd"

"Terry McLaurin thinks the Commanders love him more as a guy than they do as a player. He wants to be paid like a true No. X. Seems like the team isnt convinced they should do that with him on the brink of 30"

"Terry McaLaurin notes. Newsy presser with reporters: - Has not heard from Commanders on his contract in over a month. - Frustrated/ disappointed with where talks were when they broke off - Does not feel valued or appreciated - Has been in touch with many teammates; has their support. - Referenced market being set and wanting to be paid what he deserves. - Says he hasnt considered a trade yet but he wants to be valued and it takes two parties to get a deal done"

"The Nats are having their cake and eating it too. (I've never gotten that expression but it applies). Got the best player on their board in Willits and now they'll use some savings to sign legit over-slot HS talents in Rd's 3-5 (Harmon Sime James). Impressive execution"

"Two things shock me about how little progress has been made between WSH and McLaurin: 1) This group prides itself on taking care of their guys. Players ask for a sauna they get a sauna. They want a chef they get one. Former players who are out get brought back in. Yet the face of the operation seems to have earned a pay day and this when they draw the line in the sand Odd. Not bad business per se but odd. 2) The market should make this negotiation pretty easy. We see what guys have gotten. Some are good comps. Work off that. Shouldnt be that hard"

"The reason Willits was my top choice The hit tool. Give me a bat-to-ball guy who is going to make contact and hit for average every time. Also he's going to stay at short stop and he's a plus runner. Should turn into a stellar defensive SS who hits for average and runs well"

"In the 6th round the Nats just took Boston Smith. The catcher at Wright State tied for the NCAA lead with XX homers this season. He also led all college catchers in WAR.

"The Commanders are correct to not want to pay McLaurin No. X money for X years starting at age XX. Bad business. But the markets set. Hes also THE guy on the team. Hes put in the work and done everything as a model of what you want. The anti diva-receiver. What is that worth"

"Something I keep thinking about when it comes to Terry McLaurin When I was younger I thought you had to run a team sans emotion. Robotic decisions. Services not yet rendered were all that mattered past performances irrelevant. A guys standing as a beloved long-time fan favorite shouldnt matter. But as Ive grown up Ive realized sports are about people. Every negotiation and decision is monitored by your players and opposing players and their agents. And theyre always observing to see how the best of them is treated. (Do you take care of their families do you pay for things fans cant see do you"
