The Nationals, are the most convenient team to go see in town.
The end and the real truth!

Imagine if the NL playoffs started today
1. Braves
Bye
2. Backs
Bye
3. Brewers
6. Pirates
4. Dodgers
5. Marlins
It's wishful thinking but if we could kick the Dodgers out before October this would be a refreshing list of teams. Giants making a run to bump them would work nicely.

All I know is that's the day I'll wish I could lift more than ever. The day I'd give anything for one more workout, one more set, or one more cardio session. So go hard and enjoy every workout, every set, every rep. Because one day you will wake up and you will never get it back."

They have enough fans to root for the current AAA major league team.

Honestly if I moved to SF for example I would probably go to Giants games and take an interest in them even though I'd stay a Braves fan. When I was in Dallas I went to Rangers games, so I get it. Especially if it's a team that's not in your favorite teams division.
I doubt I could ever start going to Nats, Phillies, Mets, or Marlins games though. But if I lived near one of those stadiums, the Braves play at each of them enough I would still be able to go to plenty of Braves games on the road so that's what would probably end up happening in those situations.

Out of the rival stadiums though I liked Citizens the best. None of them were bad stadiums. I did not enjoy riding the subway to get to Citi though. That has nothing to do with the stadiums themselves though, I just generally hate public transportation. Probably a southern thing cause we just drive everywhere.
Can't say I've ever been inclined to watch the Braves play the Marlins in an empty stadium though haha

What a wild night of underdogs cleaning up in baseball tonight. A's, Tigers, Rockies. Wow.
All it takes is Mookie Betts, Steph Curry, and Joe Burrow all sitting in the same car in order for one drunk driver to make the world a significantly better place.

Pretty sure no one since Kimbrel has been able to have success in that role. You'll see the same guys dominate the 8th inning, then you slide them to the 9th and they implode. Iglesias and Minter the most recent examples of that. Iglesias was untouchable last year; get rid of Jansen and he slides in to close and it's been a disaster. Minter was also dealing a couple years ago as a set-up, then they moved him to close and he couldn't handle it.
Iglesias? Trash
Jansen? Trash.
Will Smith? Trash (though he had a hell of a run to secure the WS win, so kudos for getting it together when it mattered)
2019 Minter? Trash
2015-2018 the entire team was trash so it didn't matter
2014 = Kimbrel

Also, ESPN is trash anyway. A ton of other networks/podcasts out there for consuming balanced sports discussion

You can't just send down someone else if they don't have options or you actually need them. Culberson was the odd man out. F*cking retard.
They actually waited as long as they could to see if Murphy would be game ready on Sunday but when the morning rolled around the decision had to be made. Maybe get the full context next time before bashing teams as classless.

I guess when the Mets implode early ending meaningful baseball before July there's not much better for you to do I suppose.
