Stephen Strasburg could be described by some as a fallen star. This is what the Washington Nationals were afraid of in 2012 when they intentionally ended his season before their playoff push. Now that the dust appears to be all settled, let's address that controversial choice...

It sucks as a contract, but if you look at it as a parting gift for his time with the team, it’s ok. He did what no one had done for nearly a century and led a Washington baseball team to a title

@OH_MY_DOGGG 11 месяцев назад

You never truly know if a guy is going to be remembered as a World Series MVP. That's just what I think. Anyone who has that award deserves a lot of credit. Like Mike Lowell really comes to mind

@warlordofbritannia 11 месяцев назад

Steve Pearce got it in 2018 but David Price really deserved that

@OH_MY_DOGGG 11 месяцев назад

@@warlordofbritannia I reflect on Pearce all of the time because it was never going to change the outlook on his career. There would be something Poetic and gratifying about Price winning it that is agreeable. If they split the award amongst Eovaldi, Price....and most reluctantly Sale (only for recording the last 3 outs ultimately) I think that would cause people to associate the roving starting pitcher concept with the 2018 Red Sox more intrinsically. I would like that. I guess like the 2001 Diamondbacks it has to be an exceptional case to split up the award. I think it is better than Pearce marginally. But going back to my original commentary. I didnt think Pearce was that special.

What people fail to realize is the Nats only promised strasburg 145,000,000 more than the 100,000,000 they had to pay him. There is no sports franchise who would not pay 145 million for that sports championship

@goldeneagleboy3 11 месяцев назад

as a nats fan what's most painful is how bad i feel for stras- dude has done all he could but just has terrible injury luck. that being said he'll always be known as the 2nd best nats pitcher of all time (behind max scherzer imo) and always be a DC legend.

@ticnatz 10 месяцев назад

Having paid Strasburg $140 million since 2020 (to go 1-4 with an ERA approaching 10.0), and an additional $105 million still to come, the rational state of mind of the Nats instantly comes to mind (they did pay him over $38 million in 2019, so that worked out).....

@qshot9848 11 месяцев назад

While it is painful, it was all the way worth it. We got our ring with the final last grasp of our window in an series that will be told for legends. And honestly, with his injuries, I knew it would always be a game of Russian Roulette with his contracts so when the contract was signed, I had a gut feeling time was up but I didn’t mind with how he balled out and put us on his back constantly (2017 Flu Game - Game 4) So while we’re picking up the pieces like the Habs are similarly like us, Rizzo playing the long game may have been the piece we needed through Strasburg to be healthy just long enough for us to grab the ring we yearned for our team’s existence.

@SmoothCriminal12 11 месяцев назад

Admittedly when Rendon and Strasburg were up for new deals, I thought they should've prioritized Rendon. Mostly since hitting and bullpen was a bigger concern going forward, especially with Corbin and Scherzer still going strong at the time.

@Sumner1028 11 месяцев назад

Now both deals look like an albatross for both Strasburg and Rendon. I think Rendon got his bag and said screw baseball. He even admitted baseball wasn't even his favorite sport. The Nats should have let Stras walk due to his injury history. I figured they would get 3 good years and then the decline would come. I was certainly wrong on that one

@Reathety 11 месяцев назад

@Extinguisher10 11 месяцев назад

He's been injured nearly every year of his career that his innings weren't artificially suppressed. I'm not sure the shut down worked. Could it have been worse if they didn't? Possibly! But it's certainly not a definitive success. You used 130 innings and 22 starts are a floor for his "healthy stretch" that's only about two thirds of a season. Sure that's a wild success for Jacob DeGrom, but for anyone else that's not saying much. 🤪 Anyway, great video! :)

I love strausberg but giving him that contract was the most idiotic decision we could have done

@aaronsteindler3245 11 месяцев назад

I don't disagree with limiting a young pitcher's workload, but idk how you can shut down your best pitcher during the playoffs. Nats should have limited his workload in September and save him for October. They could have possibly won 2 rings that decade instead of 1.

@Mervalon1 11 месяцев назад

I keep tellin ppl this tho, Stras was good in his college days, but his mechanics had the dreaded Inverted W, and outta sync, which suprised me how he could touch 100-102 with that, more than likely it was more synced up but the W never went away. If he got his foot down earlier he could’ve touched higher velo maybe, but also have less stress and potentially better command

Imo, the nats still mess up the shutdown. They won 98 games and was the best team in the nl. You figure strasburg would had started games 1 and 5. The nats had a 6-0 in that game, I would like to imagine he wouldn’t blow that. Also they could had use him as a reliever. But the 2012 shutdown didn’t protect him from injuries. He was hurt a lot. Grant it no tommy John but would 5 to 7 starts a year. He pitch 200 inning 2 time ( 2014 and 19). Funny you show strasburg greatest then they actually let him pitch in 2019. But because hecc be won a World Series mvp in 2019, doesn’t mean that the shutdown work. It didn’t it cost the nats a championship, and I’m a Phillies fan saying this
