Look, I'm not going to be a massive Rizzo defender
00:02
because I think part of the reason that they got to where they are
00:06
as a franchise right now is the inability of Rizzo
00:10
and his development staff, his front office,
00:14
to be able to draft guys and then develop them into big leaguers
00:16
because there was no one to step in when Rendon left.
00:19
There was no one to step in when Trey Turner left.
00:21
There was no one to step in when Juan Soto was gone.
00:24
So that falls on Mike Rizzo.
00:27
So you're not going to hear me fully defending Rizzo,
00:29
but in terms of this, absolutely, that's not on Rizzo.
00:33
Look, did he make the wrong decision in signing Colin Poche
00:37
and signing Lucas Sims and signing Jorge Lopez?
00:41
If you asked Mike, I bet you he'd tell you,
00:44
absolutely, I made the wrong decision
00:45
because they're not on the ball club anymore.
00:47
But did he have the resources necessary to build a winning bullpen?
00:51
No, he did not.
00:53
Do you think that if, be real, Nationals fans
00:56
that just want to blame everything on Rizzo
00:58
because I don't know that there's tons of these people.
01:00
I think most people understand where this is at,
01:02
but some people are just so over Rizzo.
01:05
But be real.
01:06
Do you think that in this offseason,
01:08
when Mike Rizzo for years and years
01:10
has been talking about kind of this time frame,
01:13
I think when you first asked him about this rebuild,
01:16
he was thinking it was going to start seeing
01:18
the fruition of it come through last year.
01:21
It didn't.
01:21
So then he had to push the timeline back.
01:23
But do you really think that in the time this season,
01:26
when James Wood is in the bigs,
01:27
Dylan Cruz is in the bigs,
01:29
CJ, McKenzie, those guys are all here.
01:31
You got Brady House knocking on the door.
01:33
You had all these guys ready to go
01:35
in terms of the young stars of this team.
01:37
Do you really think that what he wanted to do
01:39
this offseason was spend $9 million on Mike Soroka
01:42
and trade for Nathaniel Lowe
01:44
and that's his two biggest moves?
01:45
There's no chance.
