Bryce Harper and the 2017 Nationals' depth problem

btw what Nat leads the NL in pitching bWAR?

Gio Gonzalez

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.

110 pitches... I suppose acceptable even in a meaningless game.

(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.

the price of throwing your arm out

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

Division Champs!
