00:00But I'll go to two times in pretty recent Washington sports history
00:06where, I mean, 2019 baseball season, Nats have a ton of expectations.
00:14Davey Martinez is in his second year as manager.
00:17They were underwhelming in 2018.
00:19They start 19 and 31.
00:21They've got all this talent, all this payroll, and there was just no evidence.
00:25I mean, I wrote a column that May that was like it's beyond even just questioning
00:32whether the manager should be here.
00:33It's clear he shouldn't.
00:35Are they going to sell pieces at the deadline?
00:37They won the World Series that fall.
00:39In 2018, I know for a fact with the Capitals, there were two points,
00:45two precipice points where if the Caps had lost the next game,
00:51Barry Trotz would have been a midseason firing.
00:55They won the Cup that year.
00:57So that's not to say these guys are going to win the Super Bowl if you keep Dan Quinn.
01:00And I get fans' questionings, but I think change for the sake of change
01:05is not really an organizational path forward.
