I wonder who's giddier. Strasburg at facing the Pirate batters or the Nats HR hitters at facing Archer?

Tonight’s the night, though, that the Pirates start their rally back. We know they have to end up drafting somewhere around 17. Top ten (in draft picks) makes them too giddy.

if I remember correctly, Strassburg made his major league debut against the Pirates.



The Bucs struck out a lot and lost.

He struck out 14 Pirates in his debut in 7 innings. His career high is 15 (also in 7 innings) in 2017.

And now Archer leaves in the 2nd with an unknown injury after throwing a few warmup pitches.

I get annoyed when Neil attributes aspects of the post ASB record to bad luck.



But this is bad luck.

It’s all just unbelievable.

The team still stinks. Going 7-28 through 35 games which is almost a quarter of the season is not bad luck its a bad team.

Block just said Archer left with right shoulder discomfort. Occurred after 5th warmup pitch before 2nd inning
