Can't believe the caliber of players who've gone down this year.
In no order: Correa, Kershaw, Kluber, Bumgarner, Syndergaard, Donaldson, Trout, Freeman... feel like I'm missing obvious ones.

on a lesser scale, i was bummed when alex reyes went down for the season, although he's obviously not established like the others

Beltre, too. And a scare with Scherzer, though happily nothing came of it.

nomar, the rosenthal twitter account we refered to is fake.

Harper's OF-mate Adam Eaton tore his ACL in April and will not play another game this season.

Surprise!
While pitch counts are crude metrics, only 10 teams have allowed a starting pitcher to exceed 120 pitches this season; only two teams have allowed it to occur on multiple occasions.
Baker and the Nationals have accomplished it four times.
Baker is lapping the field....
It’s not curious just that Baker is leaning on his starters to an unusual degree relative to the league in 2017, but that he’s doing so at a time when the Nationals have a 14-game lead in the NL East and a 100% chance of reaching the NLDS according to FanGraphs playoff projections entering Monday. This would seem like the time to give players more rest when possible.

I was looking up something about Scherzer this morning and noticed that three of the Top 10 career leaders in K/9 currently pitch for the Nationals. Conceding there's a heavy era-bias there, that's still amazing--could you find another team in history where three of the top 10 anything played for one team? Maybe Ruth, Gehrig, and someone else were once 1-2-3 in career HR, I don't know.

Strasburg tossed a complete game shutout! only his second career shutout, and in his second career complete game. i remember the good ol days when a John Tudor could startle everyone and even himself and throw 10 shutouts in a season.
― nomar, Wednesday, 30 August 2017 23:18 (seven years ago) link
110 pitches... I suppose acceptable even in a meaningless game.
― ice cream social justice (Dr Morbius), Thursday, 31 August 2017 01:19 (seven years ago) link
(ie, John Tudor threw almost 500 innings over his age 31 and 32 seasons, and only pitched one 'qualified' season after that. The price.)

the price of grit and determination, Dr.

Is Scherzer/Gonzalez/Strasburg the best front of the rotation since Halladay/Hamels/Lee? Probably forgetting others.
