Nationals vs Giants, Game 3

[spidernat]

How can some one with Strasburgs talent be so inconsistent? He has really good games (last one) and this type of game back to back.

He feasted on the mets and diamondbacks.

[PC]

And Strasburg is hitting for himself.

[mmzznnxx]

Should be a pinch hitter. freak Matt. He's only going to give up more.

Better possibilities for the rotation than Strasburg

[Matugi]

But why would you tell some one like Strausburg to pitch to contact?

Some fabled notion about pitch count or some crap.  Meanwhile in his CGSO he threw 99 pitches with 11 Ks

[spidernat]

Gotta give him a chance to go 5 and have a chance at the win.

But why would you tell some one like Strausburg to pitch to contact?

Because he's so good at it.

That's a thing of the past.

Thats sugar coating it

[varoadking]

Not his fault...we haven't given him the necessary run support...

[spidernat]

  kill all forked tongue fans.

What the hell?    You just gettin' home from the gym?   

[PC]

8.2 innings without a score.
8.1 innings without a hit.

They're closing in on no-hit length.

[spidernat]

Not his fault...we haven't given him the necessary run support...

[spidernat]

What the hell?    You just gettin' home from the gyJim?   

WTF! We're being no hit? And someone said we would rock Vogelson.

[mmzznnxx]

But why would you tell some one like Strausburg to pitch to contact?

He has more strikeouts and a higher swinging strike % than any other time in his career other than 2010. And he's sucking. If anything he's not pitching to contact.

[tomwvr]

Well it looks like to day we may get no hit - so even if he had just given up 1 run it would still be a loss, but I just dont get it . If I performed the way this guy does at his job at mine they would fire me.....

And I like Strausburg, but man this is nuts

[spidernat]

Yeah that was some crap from two years ago. I don't know why that's still being brought up except to excuse his highness from blame.

Let Stras clean up his own mess. We need the pen for wins, can't burn 'em up in losses. Wear it flower child.

If the contact is supposed to go over the fence then yeah... he's got it.

But sometimes the mess is so bad you need to call in the professionals lest you bring down the entire house.
