After a promising April and a good half of May, the Washington Nationals were hovering around first place in the N.L. East. The last few weeks have not been kind to
Riggleman's troops. After a 20-15 start ending with a pummeling the Rockies at Coors Field, the
Nats have lost 16 of their past 23 games, and are a season high 4 games below .500. Could there be a better time for their phenom pitcher to make his Major League debut? Absolutely not.
Tomorrow is the biggest day in the history of Nationals Park, and everyone will be watching. The
MLB network will cover the game, and Baseball Tonight will be live from Nationals Park on ESPN. A strong start from
Strasburg and a win
tomorrow could
jump start this team to make a run. The Pirates, Indians, White
Sox, Royals, and Orioles loom on their schedule the rest of the month. These are 5 bad teams, and it isn't like the
Nats have been getting blown out lately. They keep losing one run
heart breakers, and that is bound to change soon. Whenever they hit, the bullpen can't keep a lead. Whenever they get strong pitching, the hitting is absent. Tune in
tomorrow for
Strasburg's first start, and hopefully a good one that gets the
Nats rolling in the right direction.
