The Nats get the benefit of playing in a garbage division (just like my favorite team!) and the Giants get the benefit of being just about eliminated from playoff contention by June so who cares

Butt first, let's
check the feeds.

My only problem is that the 6 game suspension is presumably designed to make him miss 2 starts but since its being given out a day after he pitches probably means he only misses 1. Right? So wouldn't it be better to give him like 8 or 9 just to make sure you cover the rotation?

Strickland is a reliever, so he probably misses 2-3 appearances. But I guess that's pretty similar, so yeah.

I'm an idiot who should have double checked that.

I mean, 6 could be just 2 or 3 appearances so I'm not sure its even. But that's a different equation and I'm still an idiot.

I would vote this way if there was an easy way to sort leaderboards by "since last year's ASG" on Fangraphs but alas there is not. At this point in the season "last 1 calendar year" is pretty close I guess? (btw if you do that the answer for NL 1B is still Freeman, Votto, Goldy before Rizzo so lol)

Yeah, I read you. I wasn't necessarily meaning to call you out or suggest Rizzo is the absolute best or anything. Just that the ASG voting is weird and dumb for a lot of reasons at the macro level.

Will Mike Trout still be an All Star even if he obviously can't play? Not a single other Angel deserves to be considered.

Simmons as a backup shortstop?
Blake loving Parker as a reliever? They don't even have a token closer they can throw in as an all star.

I hope not. I'll be extremely disappointed if this stupid beef continues beyond Strickland. I hope everyone plays a friendly baseball game without incident and the Nats win by 10.

Andre Dawson got ejected from a game against the ... Reds, I think (I was there, all of seven years old at the time), and because he got so pissed at the umpire he hurled like seventeen or eighteen bats onto the field before hitting the showers. :v:

Oh, hey, it was Cowboy Joe who tossed him:

My favorite indelible memory of that night is, after Dawson finally went to the locker room, the umpires counting the bats by hand so they'd have an accurate report for the league office.
