OT – Stephen Strasburg is set to have Tommy John surgery after an MRI revealed he had a torn ligament. It’s really a shame to see such a young talent like him get hurt so early in his career, especially for a team like the Nationals that depend so much on him building excitement for that franchise.

Steve Hill is on the 40 man and Josh Kinney is not. Go figure.

Why has Josh Kinney been dropped from the 40 man roster and left at AAA?

Niko has had a pretty good year. 252 AB’s at QC and now 168 at Palm Beach. An .805 OPS at QC and a respectable .712 OPS in his first attempt at A+ ball. A walk rate of 22% at QC and 14% at Palm Beach. Struck out 28% at QC and 25% at Palm Beach. haven’t compared these to a lot of other players, but they seem pretty reasonable. And, he is one of 8 players on Palm Beach’s roster who was born in 1989 (4 pitchers, 2 catchers, and Bollivar, another infielder). Everyone else is older.

Probably he’s just wearing down. He was a reliever in college if I remember correctly. At this point, the Cards are probably just building up his inning count (hopefully to a still safe level). He’s up to 98 innings this year, assuming last night’s stats have been included. Probably not going to go much higher this year. He has allowed 92 hits, 43 walks, 85 strikeouts and 45 earned runs. Not a bad first year as a full-time starter (except for too many walks).

they should have given him a week or two off like they did Shelby since he did mainly pitch as a reliever in college.

Joe Kelly got rocked in the 2nd QC game. That’s 3 awful starts in a row for him.
