12:45 p.m. - Olivia - Just got out of Strasburg's press conference with the media. He noted that all 25 guys on the postseason roster will be needed for a series win. But who will those guys be? In Williams' press conference, he was asked about Rafael Soriano's role, but the skipper simply stated that the Nats "will determine the final roster when we get out of this workout." Stay tuned...
