Yeah Strasburg will definitely opt out. Came into the league with so much hype and delivered when it mattered. Damn I just realized Boras is the agent for Cole, Strasburg, and Rendon. He might do alright financially in the next few months. Jesus Christ, no one is getting signed until January January might be early. Harper signed in March, I think. Boras is going to hold out for every last cent he can get so it might be a frustrating winter. Hopefully they sign quickly this time.

That's too easy. Hinch had made some bonehead moves, but I still say Verlander was the key reason we lost. Verlander didn't take Greinke out early, Verlander didn't have Asshole Osuna throw almost 40 pitches, Verlander didn't sit Cole down and bring in Harris instead.

At least got some other decent MLB talent

It's morning. I still blame Verlander. It's not all his fault, but losing both games he started was a big, big part of it. Bigger picture, dude has never won a World Series start. There's no sugar coating it, he's a choke artist in the big moment

What a feeling this was. An incredible night for me. Congrats, my dude. There's no greater feeling in the world than seeing your team break through and in it all. Enjoy every second of it

I was there for Strasburg's debut. I have gone through so much heartache with this team, consistently coming up short in the playoffs in years where they should have gone to the World Series, if not won the whole damn thing. This is amazing, especially a month or two after the Mystics won the WNBA Championship and 2 years after the Caps won the Stanley Cup. I was at Nats Park last night, I've lost my voice but it was worth it.

Now for me to wait on the Brewers to win it all.
Which means I'm going to be waiting the rest of my life because it'll never f***ing happen.

And the Royals hire Mike Matheny being a sports fan sucks balls.
He literally got hired because he answered the God question the right way, nothing else.

Cole not even pretending that he’s coming back to Houston. Stros not going to cut the check and while Hou was fun, i'm sure going home to LAA will be even more fun Houston going be a little more human on the pitching side but I expect them to be in on someone like Ryu or maybe even Madison Bumgarner

They know how to fix pitchers. Cole, Verlander, Morton, etc, all became better after joining the Astros. They’ll just find the next pitcher they can fix up. Wouldn’t surprise me if Josh James becomes a good starter for them next year. They’ll definitely feel the hit of losing Cole but their front office (while scummy) is really good. The A’s might be a bigger threat to win the West now though.

The biggest worry is the cost that is about to hit this team in the next year or two You got Bregman, Correra, and Springer all in line to get paid big money in the next few years. Good chance they lose one of those guys

Cole wants a 300 mill contract. Yeah, good luck with that I think he breaks price $217 million deal but I see him maxing out at like $225 over 7 years Maybe $250 over 8 but with that type of deal you expect opt outs

Right he did sign that new contract for like $100 mill Just comes down to Springer and Correra then as even with the injuries Correra will command big money and Springer at 30 years old will get his best and probably only chance to cash in big
