What a cluster the Nats have made for themselves with that guy. Will never forget when they shut him down on an inning limit a couple of years ago on the season off TJ surgery with a tremendous team that didn't make a significant run in the postseason.
Now they face elimination on the road against the defending champs, Strasburg is arguably the hottest pitcher in the game, and Dusty Baker comes out last night and said he's missing his scheduled start today with a cold, basically. Strasburg gets destroyed today in the media. And come to find out he was on the first bus to Wrigley and will start after all today with comment from Boras that "he's feeling much better today". Basically confirming that he had initially decided to sit out "with a very mild cold" given the rebound time.
Will be surprised if the Cubs don't send him mental and toward an early exit this afternoon. We shall see.
