@MarkZuckermanDusty took blame for giving wrong sign on botched Murphy/Werth hit-and-run: "I inadvertently touched the wrong part of my body."

murph 4-for-4, now .406/.452/.660
nationals are being really cheap and/or stupid imo. they're likely going to be in a fight with the mets all season to avoid the wild card game, but they continue to run out danny espinosa and his .560 OPS rather than start trea turner's arbitration clock too early
bruce harper is only going to be there so much longer -- this year and two morescherzer is only going to be good for so much longer, even when he doesn't give up four homerswerth and zimmerman are barely useful now, let alone the next 1 and 3 years of their contractsyour window is now; trying to save a couple million five years from now is idiotic
it's not like trea turner is a superstar, but c'mon. maybe it's just that dusty hates the kids

but yeah, if Stanton stayed in Miami, I could see Harper deciding on staying in DC. not saying that's the most likely scenario, but it's a possibility.

harper's next contract is going to unlock the heavens, wherever it is
he seems like a guy who maybe wants to be in ny/la? i dunno, but certainly those are good candidates money-wise

through 57 PA, Ben Revere has a .158 obp. Pretty much Dusty's ideal leadoff man. He's FAST.

"'For me I'm getting up there on the all-time closing list and that's important to me. When Theo (Epstein) had me as a young kid in Boston and he wanted to start to me and I said, 'No, I'm a closer, that's what I want to be, and that's who I am.' This is what I envisioned. I envisioned chasing Mariano and I've told Mariano that at many All-Star games, 'I'm coming after you.'" - Jonathan Papelbon, last July
