Talked to Matheny. Asked about Singer’s changeup. Said they’ve told him he needs to throw it more but he doesn’t feel comfortable with it.

Well. Then. Make him use it and work on it. Or send him down to work on it.

Also said “we’re trying to win games here. Not developmental.”

Sounds like a good way to ruin good talent.

Sherman needs to clean house this offseason.

Was about to turn the game on and checked the score. Not turning the game on.

I’d expect most of that to be splashed on Kudrna, Wilson, and Nico Tresh.

That is unfortunate. I was hoping he wouldn't sign and they would have 2 top 8 picks next year. Oh well, he will be out of baseball in 2025.

Between Singer, Kowar, Bubic, and Lynch do we have any hope that a single one will be better than a #4/5 type?

It sure does.

They need to send him down and take away the slider for a while.

Singer is also on record as being the most anti-analytics, anti-Rapsodo, anti-pitch lab guy. So not surprising he’d be stubborn.

He needs a third pitch. A cutter. A change. Something. Because right now you can sit first pitch fastball and he has no counter.

It’s frustrating because he was working the changeup in AA and AAA.

Not with this current staff.

Something happening at Nats Pads gam. The whole area behind home plate just took of running. The rest are pouring out of the seats some jumped onto the field and ran into dugouts.

The announcer has said to remain in the stadium. Now announces event is happening outside stadium.

Announcers said that they heard rounds of gunfire. They now announced to clear the stadium at a certain exit.

****

Edit: looks like the shots were outside the stadium. Still a crazy scene.

Just a **** at bat from Dozier. All too familiar this year.
[Reply]

Fuck Dozier, that was a terrible at bat!

Bubic doing the anti-Singer and sticking with his third pitch.

Took the kids to the Naturals game to see Witt and it got rained out. Hope I can make it back before he gets promoted to AAA.
