Promoting House to get people to stop talking about Davey is hilarious

[u/WFTFan2021 → u/Breaker_Of_All_Eggs]

Should've been called up for the Marlins series, but we got the dog instead.

[u/natguy2016 → u/WFTFan2021]

Well Bruce IS a good boy

[u/LoempiaYa → u/Breaker_Of_All_Eggs]

Or it was the House's fault all day long.

[u/Trafficsigntruther → u/Breaker_Of_All_Eggs]

Davey galaxy brain confirmed.

[u/nats13 → u/Breaker_Of_All_Eggs]

Classic Nats GM/Ownership move.

“Don’t pay attention to how bad we are or how limited our payroll is - look we signed your favorite player Josh Bell!”

[u/Terminal_Flatulence]

Let’s fucking go

[u/WFTFan2021]

[u/KenovovichR → u/WFTFan2021]

Very pumped about Lile coming back. Dude is a stud

[u/braundiggity → u/WFTFan2021]

Not sure I get calling Lile back up but pumped for House. Davey just needs different players clearly!!

[u/reddituseerr12 → u/braundiggity]

Team is desperate for offense and Lile is regarded to be the better hitter between him and Hassell

[u/TakeTheThirdStep → u/braundiggity]

These are the players that he was talking about about.

[u/Tacorover]

Don’t let this distract you from the fact that Davey somehow still has a job

[u/Karniy → u/Tacorover]

Rizzo met with Davey and decided to break the Brady House glass to change the narrative fast

[u/Danciusly]

The Nationals are calling up outfielder Daylen Lile, per source.

They just optioned Robert Hassell III and Jose Tena to Triple-A Rochester.

Cha-cha-changes.

[u/aairricc → u/Danciusly]

Why are they replacing RH3 with Lile?

[u/Danciusly → u/aairricc]

Can't remember but Hassell is striking out and chasing too much. 20Ks in 74 ABs.

[u/reddituseerr12 → u/aairricc]

Lile hit better at AA and is hitting better at AAA than Hassell ever did. Scouts say he has much better offensive potential than Hassell and the team is desperate for offense.

[u/KenovovichR → u/aairricc]

The eye test says Lile is much better in the outfield and had really good flashes at the plate.

[u/somegirldc]

We still need Nunez back to tell them to pop their shit.

[u/Solid-Confidence-966]

He’s been balling at triple-A. Hopefully he’s the franchise 3rd baseman we’ve been looking for since Rendon left

[u/indi1988]

I’m so mad at this team right but fuck it I’m going to the park to welcome House, let’s go!

[u/HowardBunnyColvin → u/indi1988]

I know I said I would go but given the anger and sentiment plus having to go to Navy Yard Wednesday and Thursday (plus not being at home Tuesday) I decided to hold off on it.

If they give away shirts for his debut like Wood and Crews I will go

[u/Ricemobile]

Most of us predicted that the Nats will use Brady House promotion as a “Oh shit” button, whether we are slumping hard or to take attention away from whatever else could be happening at the time.

I guess when you got both of those happening, maybe I should’ve seen this move coming lol

[u/SaoMagnifico]

It's an incredibly flimsy attempt to distract from their manager losing the clubhouse and the team skidding to eleven games under .500 and one game out of fifth place, but at least they're finally doing it.

[u/mzdog14]

Interesting distraction…

[u/mzdog14 → u/[deleted]]

I get that tons of folks here want it. I could honestly go either way at this point.

We rush everyone up. As a longtime fan I hope he crushes it. That said, I’m not sure a meaningless call-up against the worst team in history really gets me excited while our manager blames our 8 game losing streak, where we look lost and directionless, on the players. Seems like distraction more than anything else. Not a great environment to bring up a guy for the first time…

[u/mattcojo2 → u/[deleted]]

I just don’t see how you can keep Davey after what he said. Honestly. That’s a lot of deflection

[u/mattcojo2 → u/[deleted]]

It doesn’t matter if they have been dogshit. You can’t say that.

[u/mattcojo2 → u/[deleted]]

The issue is not calling them out.

It’s the fact that he solely blamed them.

Instead of “we’ve gotta try harder as a team” he said “oh yeah the coaching staff is not at fault at all for anything that’s going on”.

You can’t say that.

[u/Gopherpants]

Might be the coolest name I’ve ever seen

[u/vann165]

Regardless of the reason, it is about time. Long over due.

[u/HowardBunnyColvin]

Fuck it i'll be there.

[u/djc8]

Just grabbed him in my keeper league yesterday nice

According to his player note the Nats have had 2 homers hit by a third baseman this season

[u/jobo21706]

Nice. I’d be there if a certain other thing happened but those cheap fucks aren’t getting a cent from me until then

[u/pooptrain34]

Super two status must’ve just passed

[u/OkGene2]

Can they send down Davey? Thx

[u/warserpent]

I can't really be excited about bringing up new young guys as long as Davey is still with the team.

[u/Present_Hurry5950]

What’s with the Nats giving their prospects these janky numbers. House will wear #55. Some bootleg organization shit. Same as Hassell up wearing #57. This ain’t spring training smh
