Strasburg was inexplicably awful last night. Staked to a 3-0 lead before he threw a pitch, he proceeded to look as bad as I've ever seen anybody until getting yanked after two innings with the score 7-3.
Go figure. Most games he never even gets three runs worth of support. Can't stand prosperity?
His lack of command was obvious right away: After two pitches, I was saying, "uh-oh." He pitched behind in the count pretty much the whole way, thew 66 pitches in two innings.
His once-splendid ERA (it was 2.24 a couple of starts ago) stands at 2.99.
