Some final thoughts Strasburg, the shutdown and scrutiny

Some final thoughts Strasburg, the shutdown and scrutiny
So Stephen Strasburg has thrown his final pitch of the 2012 season, with the Nationals pulling the plug on their ace right-hander. We all knew it was coming - and have since general manager Mike Rizzo announced a strict though nebulous innings limit before spring training. It shouldn't have come as a surprise, even though manager Davey Johnson's Saturday morning announcement caught most people off guard, since the Nationals had previously said he'd pitch Wednesday at Citi Field. Well, at...

A weird finish to a long day at Nationals Park

A weird finish to a long day at Nationals Park
When the word finally came down from the umpires that Saturday's game would resume after what wound up being a rain delay of 2 hours, 33 minutes, Nationals manager Davey Johnson noticed a spring in the steps of everyone in the clubhouse. Never mind that the Nationals were three outs away from absorbing a loss to the Miami Marlins on a day when it was announced that their ace, Stephen Strasburg, was done for the season. Never mind that the deluge interrupted whatever momentum Washington had...

Strasburg on shutdown: "I don't know if I'm ever going to accept it"

Strasburg on shutdown: "I don't know if I'm ever going to accept it"
Stephen Strasburg left little doubt that he still disagrees with the Nationals' decision to shut him down for the season. Regardless of whether the plan was accelerated - the Nats pulled the plug on his 2012 season Saturday, even though they had previously announced he would make his final start Wednesday at Citi Field against the Mets - or not, the idea of sitting while his team continues to play leaves a sour taste in the ace's mouth. "I don't know if I'm ever going to accept it, to be...

Werth ties game in ninth, Brown single wins it in 10th

Werth ties game in ninth, Brown single wins it in 10th
Oh, by the way, there's a game today, though it's been rendered somewhat secondary by this morning's news that the Nationals are shutting down Stephen Strasburg, effective immediately instead of after what was supposed to be his final start Wednesday at Citi Field against the Mets. Lefty Ross Detwiler is struggling early. He's getting squeezed by home plate umpire Todd Tichenor, has yielded home runs to Gorkys Hernandez and Giancarlo Stanton in the first inning, and trails 3-0 after three...

Resolute Rizzo on Strasburg edict: "I believe in my heart it's the right thing to do"

Resolute Rizzo on Strasburg edict: "I believe in my heart it's the right thing to do"
If you expected any sense of relief from Mike Rizzo that Stephen Strasburg's shutdown day had finally arrived - albeit five starts earlier than anticipated - think again. The Nationals general manager painted Saturday's announcement that his prized right-hander had thrown his last pitch with resolution rather than resignation. "Business as usual," Rizzo said at the end of a conversation with reporters following the news that Strasburg would not pitch again in 2012. "It's a plan we put...

More from Johnson on the Strasburg shutdown

More from Johnson on the Strasburg shutdown
Nationals manager Davey Johnson's announcement that Stephen Strasburg has thrown his final pitch in 2012 caught many off guard. Just last night, there seemed to be a glimmer of hope that his shortened outing against the Marlins might prod the Nationals to scrap plans for the right-hander's final start to be Sept. 12 at Citi Field versus the Mets. Instead, the Nats moved to distance themselves from the intense spotlight surrounding their unprecedented plan to shut down their ace in the...

Strasburg shut down, effective immediately

Strasburg shut down, effective immediately
Citing media speculation more intense that they could have imagined and a lack of effectiveness in recent starts, the Nationals have decided to shut down right-hander Stephen Strasburg effective immediately, manager Davey Johnson said this morning. "I just told Stephen his year is over," Johnson said in his morning session with reporters before today's 1:05 p.m. game against the Miami Marlins. "He's had a great year. I know what he's gone through nationally the last couple of weeks. The...

The O's are within a game of first place in the American League East, and September is suddenly a lot more fun for baseball fans in Baltimore.

Flashback: How "The Streak" almost ended

Flashback: How "The Streak" almost ended
It's hard to fathom that it's been 17 years since Sept. 6, 1995, when Camden Yards was at the center of the baseball universe on the night that Cal Ripken Jr. played in his 2,131st consecutive game. That night, Cal broke a record set by the Yankees' Lou Gehrig that was once believed unreachable. Seeing The Iron Man one-up The Iron Horse was nothing short of magical, and there may have been more electricity buzzing through the ballpark for that game than on any other in Baltimore baseball...

For Kiko Garcia, memories of '79 series are still fresh in mind
It's been more than 30 years since the 1979 World Series, a slice of Orioles history that represents both the best and worst for Kiko Garcia, the shortstop on the team that lost a three games to one series lead to the Pittsburgh Pirates. Now 58, Garcia recently made his first trip to Baltimore since the final game at Memorial Stadium in 1991, and got his first in-person look at Camden Yards. Speaking following the Orioles Advocates Hall of Fame Luncheon last week, where he feted former...
