The osh standard for ergonomics that was the first rule blocked by a CRA resolution was brought about because of carpal tunnel at chicken plants

[GataNats]

It’s weird.   Almost all of our pitcher’s velocity is down except Max and Hudson.   Strasburg, Sanchez, Corbin, Rainey.   

[OldChelsea]

That's probably it for his career.

Meanwhile, Rendon is OPSing .925

...and the Angels have a worse record than the Nats (.318 vs .421).

Davey's media update ( via @DaytonVaDriver)

-Strasburg has carpal tunnel syndrome; "Surgery is possible," Martinez said
-Doolittle of @UVABaseball threw 24 pitches in sim game
-Castro had surgery today
-Kendrick out of lineup again; could play Saturday
-Fedde could start Saturday

Strasburg goes on the 60-day DL and is done for the season.  Surgery is likely, but from my experience with carpal tunnel, he should be good to go well before spring training.  Smart move IMHO

Strasburg goes on the 60-day DL and is done for the season.

And so are the Nationals.

Except this will continue to be a thing for the rest of his career.

Thanks doctor.

Not really, surgery usually does the trick. 

[Slateman]

Sure. Until the next thing. And the next thing. And the next thing.

Dude hadn't made 30+ starts in four seasons. Does it in a contract year and the Nats give him 35 mil a year for the next 7 years.

How on earth is it trolling to question a monster deal for an often injured pitcher?
