Need Desi’s offense and “leadership,” seriously. The captain of the infield, you saw how much he was missed when Gio got flustered, let the pitcher get a hit and the inning got away from him. Of course, Suzuki will help Gio with that, but Desi is the best.

Count the minutes.

Repeat after me, Strasburg will be shut down, the only question is if it’ early Sept or mid-Sept. It already in process, Rizzo has said the seasy decision would be to run Strasburg out there ever day and see what happens. By the smart thing for Nationals and Strasburg himself is to shut him down around 170 innings. It done and will happen.

Smart guy, doesn ‘t get caught up in the frenzy and bidding wars.

Scared the bejesus out of everyone. We are on the backups of the backups in the infield and catcher positions.

Hold on Teddy, help is on the way!
