...shouldn't have Suzuki scored there?

Who gets the last 6 outs for the Nats? Scherzer? Hudson?
Josh Herzenberg
12:38
Scherzer in

Who is Josh Herzenberg?
Josh Herzenberg
12:39
Per some people here, I think I am a Batman-loving middle reliever
12:41
Can confirm that Lux didn't see sliders like that in the Pioneer League or the Cal League...
lee
12:41
That was...a swing
Mick
12:42
Hudson up in the pen

If you read The Arm by Jeff Passan, it’s really easy to root for Daniel Hudson
Josh Herzenberg
12:44
Agreed
Also not-so-shameless plug...Jeff did a fantastic job on that book and if you haven't read it, you should
12:45
That inning was impressive as hell
weezy
12:45
seriously. This Scherzer kid looks good
Josh Herzenberg
12:45
Might have a future

Where did the Nats find this random 35 year old reliever? He looks pretty good out there
Josh Herzenberg
12:46
Disney movie coming out soon
12:48
Urías has given up some of the softest contact in the league this year. Hard Hit % against is 100th percentile, as is EV against. xwOBA, 89th, xSLG, 94th
12:49
Very high spin fastball

Think he'll fare well as a starter next season? I imagine going from ~70 IP to double that (or more) takes its toll
Josh Herzenberg
12:52
Yeah, it'll all depend on how the shoulder holds up. He was a starter through the minors and maintained his stuff every time I saw him there, so he's capable of length, it just depends on health
The surgery he had was pretty serious
I would imagine, should they fully transition him back, they'll be conservative
12:53
IP totals would likely mirror Tony Gonsolin's in the 2018 minor league season, which was his first as a starter
weezy
12:57
what's your take on Gonsolin? Does he have any more projection given his late start to pitching?
Josh Herzenberg
12:58
#4 starter upside. Good athlete. Very good splitter
12:59
Hudson coming in for the Nats. Here's his mix from this year

Just finished my softball game. Hustled home to catch the end of this last game and this chat!!

Lots of weird emotions about this name, FKT
Mick
1:04
What's the narrative if the Nats blow this one? Should've stuck with Scherzer for 2 IP?
Fire Ken Tremendous
1:05
We're in a Good Place
Josh Herzenberg
1:06
The Best Place seemed intriguing
Go Barves!

FKT FTW

I’d guess it’d be that they should’ve let Strasburg go longer. He only went 85 pitches (though on 2 days rest, and T7 went long, so IMO it’s defensible)
Josh Herzenberg
1:08
Bold strategy here, Cotton
1:10
Well, this turned interesting

Does Seager swing at the first pitch in this situation?
