The "Who's Watching the Nationals?" line is kind of ironic to me at times.
This is one of those times.

Given what we know about the rest of the game, I'm still not sure it matters.
I mean, RJ doesn’t pick up his 300th, but Hanrahan still screwed the pooch. At least it wasn’t a blown save this time.

How much more painful would Hanny's effort have been if they tied or took the lead there...

Not that much more painful, if any.
Again, I saw Hanrahan blow a 6-3 lead with 2 out in the 9th earlier this season. That one sucked, and I saw it coming even then.

My point is that if your defense kicks butt, you still give up a field goal. Just move it back to the 30 or 35 yard line.

43-yarders aren't a guarantee in college.
Now, 35-yarders should be hit, but yeah. Wouldn’t be opposed to moving it out to the 30.

Its not just prospects thou.
I think we could trade for better position players. A younger SS with better defense, maybe the same for 2B. Better outfielders with better gloves…just a better balanced team.
Doest have to be a team full of 16 yr olds. I just think the team is awfully unbalanced at the moment – hence the horrific error count. Some trade could help us now and make us better for the future.

“There is virtually nobody in the stadium right now other than press, players, and stadium employees. There are maybe 50 people in the Red Loft area, and about 25 in one upper deck section of the outfield. Other than that, the attendance is… well, maybe seven or eight.”
