So Strasborg left the game very early due to fucked upness in his pitching arm (again). Pitchers of today's standards are put through body motions probably not sustainable so ultimately it becomes a battle of attrition. Luckily the Nats are loaded (on paper at least) at P, but the fact The Guy who was going to change the game forever has not really changed the game forever is always a bummer. At this point (still early in his career? idk) it'd be nice to see Strasborg remain healthy enough to be that wily ass guy towards the upper middle of the rotation, who eats up six innings every fuckin' time, and leaves the team in position to not lose - maybe not win, but at least not lose. I worry about that guy, although Nats are sending him to chiropractor not legit "let's do expensive shit" doctor so who knows? Maybe this is much ado about nothing.
I did catch the highlights on the 10 o'clock news sports, and holy shit I had no idea Ichiro Suzuki still played baseball, nor that he played for the Marlins. A massive thing like BASEBALL is full of so many fuckin' crazy life stories like that - weird little Pete Rose of Japan comes to America, becomes star, and now is playing in Miami? What the fuck does Ichiro Suzuki do in his free time in Miami? Does he like the beach? Go to art galleries? Perhaps he does coke with big-assed whores? WHO KNOWS?
Oh, the Nats lost because Strasborg's chinked armor arm gave up two runs in his three innings, and offense has gone back to OFF switch, so 2-1 was the final.
Nats are 13-15.
