What will Strasberg's excuse be today?

[Chi_archie]

KY-Jelly on his pitching shoulder?
Jizz in the eye?
Preparation H on his shaft?

[yisman]

Harper tripled to right, Strasburg and Espinosa scored.

Espinosa doubled to left, Strasburg to third.

Strasburg singled to right.

[EmpireMaker]

3-3 tie right now Strasburg has 2... 1-2-3 innings in a row

[In The Money]

Strasburg HR

[ParlayininHTown]

Strasburg's excuse for what? Hitting that home run?

[spankie]

[Bcatswin]

bang bang

[yisman]

2 for 2, a homer, and 8 Ks. Not bad.

[EmpireMaker]

Gonzalez is pitching better on his team

[jstblaze]

You are just being defensive because you started this thread and now look like an idiot!

[In The Money]

no he isn't

Verlander is

Verlander isn't either, hard to argue but there are TOP 5 pitchers.

How can u say one is the best? any of top 5 can best the best on any given day and horrible on any given day

Verlander
Weaver
Kershaw

Top 3?

[jstblaze]

Kershaw and verlander are definitely part of the top 3.

Weaver top 5, arguably top 3.

Halladay was top 3 last 5 seasons but just odesnt have the lights out stuff this year.

[Robber]

If I had one game to play I would put Verlander on the mound over all of them....wouldnt even hesitate either.

You guys say that like it's a bad thing. Nats have two of the top 10 pitchers in baseball right now. I still thing Strasburg will prove to be the better of the two before the year is out, but Gio is a beast too.

[BuddyBear]

Actually, and quietly, Zack Greinke has been very sharp outside of a terrible start in Chicago. His numbers are excellent all around.

Strasburg is going on DL

Not THAT quietly, he leads the Majors in FIP (Gio is second, Strasburg probably third after today)

Except for the fact that I said he will be in the HOF. Heck, you could make a statistical argument that Greinke's career has been more valuable than Rivera's.

Greinke belongs with the best in baseball this year.

Will be interesting to see where he ends up next year. Would be nice if the Brewers could sign him to a long-term deal. He's been one of the best for a while now.

He does have some of the most severe home/away splits of all time though, which may be a mental thing. Maybe his last great road outing vs. the Mets will get him going away from Miller Park (where he is undefeated as a Brewer I think).

[Chi_archie]

Nother very good start from Gio

[LT Profits]

Yep, indeed. Unfortunately he was a decided road favorite over a popular team, so the value train is probably gone.

[Chi_archie]

Stras and davey Johnson need to get oon the same page
