Strasburg scratched....gotta feel for the thousands of bandwagon fans who paid just to him pitch.

Yeah that was the biggest ripoff I have ever been a part of. What a joke. The fucking GM decided to pull him while he was warming up. How is that not the most transparent ploy for money in the history of sports

Wow. So you actually went?! That's tough luck bro. Hopefully next game he will be back and ready to go....without the stiffness in his throwing arm

Yeah I hadn't seen Strasburg pitch yet so my friend and I decided to go "on a whim." We had no tickets and there were actually more people trying to buy then sell, but this one scalper tried to sell me two $10 standing room seats for $40 a piece. I was like fuck that and offered him $40 for both of them. Ended up paying $50. We got in right as they were announcing the lineup and the guy was like "And here's today's starting pitcher, Miguel Batista" and everyone was just like huh and I immediately started yelling to everybody that it's all a scheme and the Nationals are a fraud of an organization

I was there too. My first game as a visiting fan. The Braves ended up not showing up anyway, so I guess you have something to be happy about.

But I got to see Strasburg pitch in Atlanta, so if I had gone just to see him, I'd be pretty pissed too. No way 40,000 people go to Nationals Park on a Tuesday night without SB pitching.

Yeah. I was in Atlanta as well. Huge crowd. Made it feel like a playoff atmosphere which we haven't had at Turner Field in a few years. He is starting to turn into the traveling circus that the Yankees have become. Wherever he goes, whenever he plays, that ballpark will be packed with fans that usually wouldn't come out that night (including Washington). Props to yall guys for making it out there. Hopefully next time he will be able to go at 100%.
