There is no tougher problem in pro sports, or one with which Washington fans have been so constantly familiar in every game for at least the past 50 years. The Nats have two main problems: their current 16-24 record and their 82-80 record last season. Each informs the other. This spring, likely Hall of Famer Joey Votto, 36 and coming off a poor 2018, was quoted as saying that this was a big year for him because “if you have two bad years in a row, then that’s who you are.”
If Rosenthal, who is working out his problems now in Class AA Hagerstown, can’t find his control — of the ball and his hyper nerves — over the next two or three weeks and become the set-up man that the Nats need, then the team needs to move on. When Chicago Manager Joe Maddon, Martinez mentor, said such things, the Cubs listened and won their first World Series in 108 years. Don’t waste your best solid contact on balls pulled foul. Use the middle of the field where there is the most unguarded grass, regardless of how your foe shifts and battle to avoid strikeouts like Anthony Rizzo. Is that so hard? When Martinez says it, crickets.
More than 80 percent of the group constitute “not much loss.” Maybe D.C. is an anomaly. But it seems the majority of coaches that you seriously would consider firing are probably not destined to be great anyway.

'I still know I am sexy': Sharon Stone, 61, stuns in photoshoot for Vogue PortugalSharon Stone is 61 and stunning, posing topless in a photoshoot for Vogue Portugal's May issue and talking about MeToo and women in Hollywood. I'm 43. I would't think it twice. Really? Besides when she showed her hoohah in a shock-jock moment in Basic Instinct (though she gave a convincing psycho-chick performance giving as good as she got from the men in the interrogation) and she was solid in supporting role in Casino. Had forgotten all the others.

Trump not the first president whose politics made athletes reconsider White House visitThis week, Boston Red Sox manager Alex Cora announced he won't join his World Series championship team when they attend their White House ceremony on Thursday. And I can't blame him. Good for him! The rest of the team should stay home too. If they want burgers they could drive down the street. They don’t have to go to the WH for a Mc Double!
