So after an hour or so rain delay the Nats bring Strasburg back after he pitched 2 innings. Do they just not even want to give him a chance to pitch in the post season? Jeez.

 

The more I read, it seems like Boras has turned Rizzo into his little puppet.

Stone mentioned this earlier that Jeter is 1,000 hits away from tying Rose. He's 38, and a few years ago looked like he was on a major decline, but now looks like he could play at an elite level for a few years to come.

 

I honesty hope he can get those hits. That would be truly amazing to see.

Johan Santana is 3-7 with an 8.27 ERA since he threw 134 pitches in his no-hitter. The Mets will shut him down for the season.

 

And in his first 5 starts after the no-hitter, he was 3-2 with a 3.60 ERA, averaging 6 innings a start. In the next 5 starters, he's 0-5 with an ERA of 15.63, OPSa of 1.242, and fewer than 4 innings a start. In fact, in those 5 starts, his season ERA went from 2.76 to 4.85.

 

It wasn't the no-hitter that did it. It's simply a guy who hadn't thrown a meaningful pitch in about a year and a half coming back to pitch. The body will break down.

Good call. Think Jake Peavy 2011.

Exactly, I imagine he'll come back and be pretty solid next year. It would have been nice for them to let him throw a few more innings, but if it's going to hurt him, keep him the hell away from the mound.

GOP convention? Not being held at the Trop, but that's the only explanation.

 

Yup, that's exactly why. They moved the series up a day, so they can get the heck out of Dodge before the convention. There is also a kickoff party at the Trop Sunday night.

Anybody have any idea when the last time was that a Sunday did not have a full slate of games scheduled?

 

I mean before the season started, games rescheduled a few days in advance due to an impending hurricane don't count.

Troy Renck, Rockies ‏@TroyRenck

RT @Buster_ESPN Astros say they're open to having Clemens pitch for them at age 50, but not as a stunt

 

 

If he does come back to pitch. He would have played in 4 decades.

Depends on whether you count a human/synthetic testosterone hybrid as being the same as the person who pitched in the 80's.
