It's not Dusty's fault their best pitcher is a headcase.As I said upthread, this is a mentally weak team and has been since they blew game 5 in 2012. Dusty better be fired on his way back to the visitors clubhouse if they lose tomorrow.

That is true, and Strasburg's role in this whole mess is becoming clearer.It's not Dusty's fault their best pitcher is a headcase.
But, it’s all relative. Compared to Matt Williams, he’s the second coming of Earl Weaver. (Williams’ post-season bullpen management wasn’t Grady ALCS game 7-level bad, but it was awfully close.)That is true, and Strasburg's role in this whole mess is becoming clearer.
Dusty is regular season Tito who remains so in the playoffs.
After game 1 he told his players and the media that they should be more aggressive at the plate. Bad advice for a struggling offense esp Trea Turner at lead off (2 outs on 4 pitches) who should be taking more pitches.
Last yr game 5 he did two double switches during the game so somehow Wilmer Difo was hitting in Rendon's spot with 2 outs in the bottom of the ninth against Kershaw with tying and winning runs on.
He's great all yr and seems to have improved handling the staff but doesn't shine in the postseason.
Of course it's his players that stopped hitting.
If someone has a handle on what actually ailed Stras, please drop a few sentences here. Local talk radio this morning was so theatrical, so depressing, so damn Red Soxian in the old bad sense, I had no choice but to turn it off.It's not Dusty's fault their best pitcher is a headcase.
Not what I was getting at.The entire baseball world.
Yup, starts with a 4 foot double.Not what I was getting at.
And the Nats collapse has just begun.
Seems familiar for some reason.For the love of God - apparently the Nats can only have runs which are GIVEN TO THEM!
Pretty much the entire lineup has been a no show.Murph amd Werth have been no-shows this whole series.
would not be surprised if Max gets brought in.Strasburg over 100 pitches. So the bullpen will have a chance to blow this for the Nats.
On one day rest?would not be surprised if Max gets brought in.
In Dustyville, this means Strasburg's getting g pulled, right?Dusty Baker doesn’t even have a guy loosening up.
