Titles says it all, it's frustrating to watch all of this good pitching go to waste. Best pitching staff in baseball, 24th hitting.
Nats fall to the Rockies 4-2 ending Strasberg's bid to be the first National pitcher to win 7 consecutive starts. It's going to be hard to win these games with no hitting, 1/2 of the RBI's on the night came from the 9 spot in the rotation, that wont due. We had the lead-off man on in the first 4 inning and were only to able to convert 1 of them into a run. I don't want to sound like a pessimist but something needs to change, Morse and Zimm are clearly not themselves hitting into double plays and grounding out in almost every at bat, if not for a lucky bounce up the first base side Zimm would have gone 0-4. I'm no major league manager but maybe we need to shuffle the line up or give them more rest?
Its hard to keep perspective after a loss like that but as a wise man once said (my father on the phone 15 min ago) "hey were still in first by three games"
