Everyone I think know this , If Williams doesn’t at least get in playoffs , he GONE !
Vandals Took The Handles
Matt Williams is unquestionably over his head. He doesn’t seem to know how to manage people (no surprise, he never did that) and he has no feel for running a game – particularly the pitchers. But there’s more…..
For the past 3-4 seasons it can be argued that the Nationals had one of the best – if not the best – rosters in MLB. Yet they can’t seem to get over the first hump. They had problems under Davey Johnson as well, and no knowledgeable baseball fan would question his credentials.
The NLE had one team rebuilding (Mets), one going in circles (Marlins) and 2 going downhill (Phillies, Braves). The good times have ended. The Mets rebuild is taking hold, the Braves should be shifting into 3rd gear in 2017, and the Phillies have made a series of solid moves. The Nationals need to do some serious re-evaluation of their organization and make adjustments this off-season, or their future will officially be in the past. Unless Harper is bashing the ball that night or Schurzer is mowing down the opposition, the Nationals come off as a pedestrian team that at times looks disinterested and at other times unwatchable – doing this on the 6th highest payroll in MLB. Injuries can account for losing some production, but not for the way they’ve been playing baseball.

They are a fascinating case. They should be the powerhouse of the NL at least, but they’ve been little more than pedestrian.
Just another reminder of why they should never have benched Strasburg for the postseason a couple years ago. That was prbly the best chance they’ll have to go all the way during this window. A terrible decision when they made it, and even more so in hindsight.
