Oh well, wait and see I suppose: the final story of this bizarre episode will really be written on the field today. All signs point to Roark getting lit up, a Cubs W, a trashed reputation for Strasburg and Dusty, etc. But then baseball's a weird game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlackSox13 Posted October 11, 2017 Share Posted October 11, 2017 Dusty complains all season long about needing bullpen help. After much contemplation that looked more like mental masturbation, Rizzo acquired Doolittle and Madson. With a playoff game on the line, Dusty leaves both Doolittle and Madson in the pen and the Nat's go on to lose the game. Makes sense doesn't it?

Sick and/or pissed off Strasburg, under maximum pressure, and the whole thing is surrounded by an air of impending doom. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

footlongcomiskeydog Posted October 11, 2017 Share Posted October 11, 2017 What a clown college over in DC. It almost feels like the Cubs are getting a first round bye. Wouldn't surprise me in the least if Kershaw twists his ankle walking his dog and can't go against the Cubs in game one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harry Chappas Posted October 11, 2017 Share Posted October 11, 2017 Sounded like none of this was Nats fault and all about Strasburg and his agent making certain Strasburg is number 1 priority. Then there is Max who will throw 100 pitches today if needed...although he already got paid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, Strasburg already got paid too, he got a 175M extension through 2023 so I think he is good Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

iWiN4PreP Posted October 11, 2017 Share Posted October 11, 2017 Got to say, Arrieta is a true beast today. Got those short sleeves on in the cold/rain, has the mighty hipster beard, that guy looks like a true badass right now . This just in, Trea Turner still sucks right now.
