No power, but at least there is baseball on the radio.

When will opposing teams ever learn? STEPHEN STRASBURG CAN HIT.

I'm going to bet $100 that Joey B's power went out, which is why he's not commenting on this thread.

Mine did too, actually -- I went to the office to get some relief.

This team has a damn good chance to get to the post-season, and with that pitching, anything can happen.

So do you shut down Strasburg now, and save him for later? Let him hit his limit and do without? Or just say screw it, "flags fly forever?"

5. Srul Itza Posted: June 30, 2012 at 05:07 PM (#4170184)

Oh, and he may also be there best hitter.

6. The Yankee Clapper Posted: June 30, 2012 at 05:23 PM (#4170191)

Maybe Strasburg can play a few games in the field in between starts.

7. The Yankee Clapper Posted: June 30, 2012 at 05:29 PM (#4170193)

Nats saving Strasburg innings for the cool of October rather than 115* Atlanta.

8. Esoteric throws a 'hard slider' Posted: June 30, 2012 at 05:30 PM (#4170194)

Any word on why Strasburg came out of the game so early? Heat?

9. Esoteric throws a 'hard slider' Posted: June 30, 2012 at 05:30 PM (#4170195)

Jesus, I just checked Gameday and it's officially 104 degrees there.

10. Esoteric throws a 'hard slider' Posted: June 30, 2012 at 05:34 PM (#4170199)

Nats announcers just said that the thermometer on the field just hit 120 degrees. HOLY ****.

11. The Yankee Clapper Posted: June 30, 2012 at 05:46 PM (#4170207)

If Atlanta follows the recent DC area weather pattern, they may be in line for a heck of a storm (which will cool things a bit).
