Man Julio Teheran was a workhorse.

So were Gio and Tanner Roark. Gio started at least 30 games in 8 out of 10 seasons. In those other two seasons, he started 27.

Braves have sent Ian Anderson to Triple A.  Third overall pick and was pitching in the World Series in 2021.

He struggled last year but not anymore than any of our pitchers, and better than several. Really an embarrassment of riches for the Braves right now. With Díaz and Quintana out, they're probably the favorites over the Mets for the NL East now.

For sure. The Nats had great pitching durability during their competitive window.

The things I'd do for a John Lannan or Livan Hernandez on this team.

Its almost like competitiveness and having good, durable pitching are linked.


Almost.

Almost.

I'm not sure if this is true in recent years thanks to openers and the like, but for a long while the stat that most indicated team success was average # of innings thrown by starters. All the top teams ranked at or near the top in that category.

What'd I give for a Pete Richert the Senators had from "65" to "67".

The Nats starters had the worst pitches per IP last year in MLB, and this year probably won't be much different.  This idea of a rotation where the starters aren't much better than the bullpen makes little sense.  Time to get creative.

Leave me alone for a minute.  My only DC team is the Nats.  As a NorCal sports fan, we tolerate poop
on the street better than losing.  I’m not used to this.  Maybe if I had stuck with the Raljon Football Team
I’d be better equipped to handle organizational dysfunction.

If you’re a kings fan,  you shouldn’t be that upset about losing. They haven’t made the playoffs since mark brunell was playing for the WFT.  But I’ll take a wild guess and say you’re a warriors fan right?

The crap on the streets reference was a rather clear one to SF.

Best piece of public art I ever saw was a used needle stuck vertically in a human turd somewhere in SoMa.
