Did any other team develop as many during that time period? I can think of 4 with the Padres; Winfield, Ozzie Smith, Gwynn, and Roberto Alomar. wow, do we really have the 2nd most Hall of Famers during that time period? crazy to even think about.

Not if we're talking about the organizations that signed/drafted and developed the players. Pedro signed with the Dodgers in '88 and spent 6 years/4 full seasons in the Dodger organization developing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DC in Da House w/o a Doubt Posted October 18, 2019 Share Posted October 18, 2019 19 hours ago, Kevin W. said: That's debatable. Since they moved to DC, they've gone to the playoffs five times and this is the first time of those five that they've made it past the NLDS. Two-thirds of their time in DC have been spent at home during the playoffs. I mean that doesn't sound that bad to me. The Expos went to the playoffs 1 time in 35 years. 5 playoff appearances in 15 years isn't shabby. 4 division titles and a World Series appearance in that span, some teams would kill for that. No denying that the pre-Strasburg years were rough though. And yes, they did have a knack for choking in the postseason Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dont care Posted October 18, 2019 Share Posted October 18, 2019 If you say they can’t give credit to developing Pedro into a customer young winning pitcher, I’d say they didn’t for randy Johnson considering he spent less than 2 seasons with them.

Jungle Jim Posted October 19, 2019 Share Posted October 19, 2019 It's not really fair to compare playoff appearances and division titles from the two eras, though, since only four teams made the playoffs before 1995 and 10 do today. Likewise, there are six division champions today instead of four. Of course, the same point applies to NFL playoff appearances, NCAA basketball tournament appearances, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although Randy spent nearly 6 full season in the Expos organization including his minor league career. I'd say Pedro developed with the Dodgers and Randy with the Expos if you look at who they signed with, spent all or most of their young minor league seasons with and who they came up with.

(Yes, I know they're "alternates".) It's like someone wearing a hoodie to their wedding. Or a team being officially called Vegas instead of Las Vegas.

DC in Da House w/o a Doubt Posted October 21, 2019 Share Posted October 21, 2019 The Nats had a simulated game practice at their stadium last night and a little birdie told me they were wearing the combo below. Hopefully this is just for practice. Wearing the blue alternates during the WS is bad enough, but I get it because of superstition. But breaking out the red alternate hat with it on the biggest stage would be tragic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The hat itself is fine (except for the MiLB looking different colored vent hole things. I believe its the only hat in MLB to have that: ) But not a fan of it when paired with the blue jersey.

If they’re going to wear a red cap, go with the solid red. Here’s hoping the home whites or road grays get at least one game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moseph Posted October 22, 2019 Share Posted October 22, 2019 Yeah it seems like the Nats alternate hat has been used for batting practice this postseason but they use the standard road in games. I'd imagine the World Series wouldn't be any different, they seem to be a little superstitious. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
