• Washington Nationals' Skipper Jim Riggleman phoned in to the Sirius/XM MLB Network Radio show "First Pitch" with Rob Dibble and Jim Memolo this morning, and Mr. Riggleman discussed what it's like dealing with the circus that goes with every Stephen Strasburg start:
Jim Riggleman: "...you're trying to win the game and you're trying to win it in six or seven innings....you know, because he's going to be fairly limited. That's just where we're at, that's an organizational decision that's been made that we're probably looking at seven innings tops on most nights. The other day, he went six and his pitch count indicated this may be the first time he actually goes eight, and the game didn't turn out the way we wanted, but somebody's gotta finish that game off, we gotta have some runs. What you want to do is be winning in six, because when you turn it over to your bullpen you want to turn it over to [Drew] Storen, [Tyler] Clippard and [Matt] Capps and not some people in the bullpen who maybe generally pitch when you're losing. So, it's a little bit a dilemma, but we gotta create some runs early when he's pitching."

That's the trouble with knuckleball pitchers...
If their pitching is working, the ball is difficult to pitch. If they’re having a bad outing, then the opposing team can capitalize.

whew
out of that inning. Looks like guys have gotten enough info on Stras to begin to figure him out. Will be interesting to see how he responds in the back half of the season.
If I hit a hole-in-one on this grand slam the dominoes will fall like a house of cards. Checkmate.
Probably a good idea.
Been very impressed with how Nats management has handled his workload. They are obviously thinking very long term with him. Good stuff.

Still doesn’t change the fact that we need to score some runs. Seriously, this is getting ridiculous.

Don't the Nationals understand Strasbury is a rookie....
and no run support might damage his psyche? Now, the Cubs don’t give run support to Ted Lilly, but he still goes out there, steely-eyed, full of resolve, because he’s a veteran.

Drat...it would have been one of Pudge's signature DPs, but

Nothing…nada..zero with RISP
I wonder how many scoreless innings we can go with Stras on the mound..
so is it now 17 straight? I’m guessing it goes til 26. So maybe we score next time he’s on the mound. This is depressing.
Through 61 pitches
Dickey is 39 strikes, 22 balls. Almost 2:1. Wow.

Hi Guys - Sorry I'm Late
I feel a Riggleman vent coming on …
Not pinch hitting for Peralta last night.
Not getting even mildly upset with Bernardina’s frankly unpardonable error to nail down last night’s loss.
Pinch hitting for Strasburg with 2 outs in the 5th … with a pitcher! Whiskey Tango Foxtrot?
Would someone get out the defibrillator for this man? If he’s not going to show a pulse, then his team isn’t going to have one. This is not a winning Acta-tude. ARGH!
We won’t even discuss the Strasburg Affect – one run in 35 innings! This team is making soccer look high-scoring.

How'd you figure leaving TAWH in to single when you saved your bench for the comeback win in the 9th?

You don't like IBB's, do you?
You have to walk Hammer there. Extra runs mean nothing, and you can end the inning with a DP
Run expectancy only increases with the IBB
Bad strategic decision.
