Follow this logic if you will: Your best pitcher; one who most experts feel may be a once in a generation talent is hurt; the team handles this with extreme caution and great concern; and this is a sign of a bad plan.

I was wondering whether I'd see any love for him from the critics here after this game, one that he managed very well, bringing in Slaten at the right moment, for example, or putting together the batting order that's produced 22 hits in 2 games. I'll attribute the absence of love among the critics to the shock of Strasburg's injury and to our foremost concern about his health.<br /><br />Good to see some love for Desmond and Bernadina though. What a spectacular game they had. A pleasure to watch them.Richardnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3442809928829881676.post-49749564045512510082010-08-22T09:58:35.843-04:002010-08-22T09:58:35.843-04:00"Heard something pop" Gosh, lets hope ..."Heard something pop" Gosh, lets hope that isn't so.

It completely made us both laugh. (A lot easier to laugh after an 8-1 win)<br />And aside from the injury, it was truly a nice win. Before the arm went, Stras was pitching as well as I've seen him pitch since his debut. His stuff was wicked last night!

Also loved when Nyjer deked the Phillies Phans after the final out, pretending he was going to toss the ball to them but then holding on to it. I also have to admit that it was pretty funny for the Phillies to feature Clippard and Burnett on the Kiss Cam (not that there's anything wrong with it). :-)natsfan1anoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3442809928829881676.post-38811208249114482422010-08-22T08:49:44.840-04:002010-08-22T08:49:44.840-04:00That said, I agree with your all-the-eggs-in-one b...That said, I agree with your all-the-eggs-in-one basket point.natsfan1anoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3442809928829881676.post-56899936069330923092010-08-22T08:48:48.127-04:002010-08-22T08:48:48.127-04:00Yeah, 'cause I'm such a drama queen and al...Yeah, 'cause I'm such a drama queen and all. :-) <br /><br />---<br /><br />1a....fair point if not a tad to self righteous and dramatized...natsfan1anoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3442809928829881676.post-69798128289077850222010-08-22T08:04:00.751-04:002010-08-22T08:04:00.751-04:00CapPeterson....

Made me remember how excited we were when Ryan Z first showed up. String that into a few-- or a bunch -- more games, and we got ourselves a team that can really compete. Still , I'm adding good vibes toward all so we see Stras healthy and reaching his potential in the perfect timeframe for his body.JaneBhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04882101532666365432noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3442809928829881676.post-23767292880741455032010-08-22T07:53:53.278-04:002010-08-22T07:53:53.278-04:00It's easy to forget because of the Stras injur...It's easy to forget because of the Stras injury the great play of Desi and Bernie last night. Against a good club filled with star players like the Phillies, these guys were dominating forces in the game. Desi is doing it all now at bat, in the field, and on the bases. And Rigs is right--Bernie is shaping up as an ideal LF. It's a shame he can't throw or cover ground, and isn't very athletic, but at least he can't hurt us in LF.CapPetersonnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3442809928829881676.post-61367048381520524082010-08-22T07:24:50.652-04:002010-08-22T07:24:50.652-04:001a....fair point if not a tad to self righteous an...1a....fair point if not a tad to self righteous and dramatized...I have been there so I understand you point...still the looks on those two faces tell a significant tail that is relevant to this franchise.

I'd not be surprised (or disappointed) to see SS shut down for the season regardless of the MRI results. They'll want to protect their investment, and we're not going anywhere. That's two arm issues now; I doubt they'll be inclined to take any chances. Feel better, Stephen.<br /><br />Re. Victorino, I'm not inclined to get spun up about a second-, no, third-party account.
