FountainOfSyrinx Posted August 22, 2012 Share Posted August 22, 2012 QUOTE (Sheldon Cooper @ Aug 22 2012, 12:47 PM) QUOTE (FountainOfSyrinx @ Aug 22 2012, 01:31 PM) QUOTE (Sheldon Cooper @ Aug 22 2012, 07:33 AM) Nats 4 - Braves 1 Nats are 31 games over .500 and lead Atlanta by 7 games. They still have the best record in baseball by 2 games over Cinci. I really hope they don't shut Strasburg down. It's going to happen. I'm hoping that they realize that they have a shot at a World Series run this year... only with Stras though. What's the opinion of the Nats fans up there?

I'd think it's inaccurate to paint this all on the Giants, especially given we just got this guy 4 months ago. This seems much more like a baseball wide problem than a Giants problem. I do recall a Ryan Braun getting quite a bit less than a punishment last season. Like I was saying, this problem is a lot bigger than just the Giants.

I'm hoping that they realize that they have a shot at a World Series run this year... only with Stras though. What's the opinion of the Nats fans up there? Here's an article from The Washington Post that outlines why it will happen. It thinks Nats fans are resigned to the fact that he's going to be shutdown, even if we are divided as to whether or not he should be. I happen to trust the GM, Mike Rizzo. Our other homegrown young pitcher, Jordan Zimmerman, had Tommy John surgery two years ago and followed the same path that Strasburg is following, including being shut down. This season, he leads the NL in ERA, and is the only pitcher to have gone at least 6 innings in every start. Strasburg is our best pitcher, but we have two more absolutely excellent pitchers in Gio Gonzalez and Jordan Zimmerman. Edwin Jackson is very strong, and has World Series experience. And Ross Detwiler has been solid since returning to the starting rotation. We also have John Lanhan, who will likely be called up in September when the clubs can expand their rosters. He's been excellent in two starts we've needed him because of double-headers. Then you have our bull pen to deal with. And don't even get me started on the rest of the defense, and the batting line up. We don't necessarily have any hitters who are having great seasons, but they are all having really strong seasons. Jayson Werth is tearing it up after coming back from the broken wrist, and Ian Desmond is crushing the ball again after coming back from his strained oblique. we have the best chance to win it all with Strasburg, don't get me wrong. But I ahrdly think we are dead in the water without him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's a candidate for Biggest Waste Of $9,500,000.00 EVAH..... Randy Wolf is released....on his birthday.....OUCH! So long, Randy. You pitched some great games last year. Your game against St. Louis in the NLCS was GREAT. You showed a lot of character and guts through a very bad year. You're a good guy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In essence, he said Gonzalez could have homered the first 53 times he batted after the trade, and it would STILL be a good one for the Red Sox.
