So they have fired not only Williams but the entire coaching staff. The consensus in the Nats fan world appears to be that Mike Rizzo ought to go too; I agree. Please close the door on your way out.
Rizzo’s bad moves are too many for a short thing, but the list starts with Papelbon! This was such a ridiculoudly bad move that it ought to be enough to demand his head. But then there was paying McClouth about $10-11 mill a year to do nothing. Telling (not asking) Escobar to play 2B and playing Rendon where he should be, 3B! Putting together a woefully bad bullpen. I could go on but now I must go deal with the real world:)
Several of us senior hardballers also believe that Tyler Clippard shouldn’t have been traded considering his flexibility and consistency from the Bull Pen.
