In a suddenly promising Washington rotation, the good news keeps coming.
Mitchell Parker, Jake Irvin and MacKenzie Gore have stabilized the Nationals' rotation. That’s what the Washington Nationals are doing right now, and much faster than expected.. This season in 40 starts, Jake Irvin, MacKenzie Gore and Mitchell Parker have a 3.10 ERA in 223⅔ innings, with 210 strikeouts and only 53 walks. Stephen Strasburg and Max Scherzer’s career ERAs: 3.24 and 3.15. They aren’t them. But I wanted to get your attention.
Because some of these five are coming back from injuries while others may hit innings limits late in the season, it would be dandy to have another fellow to fill out a possible arm-saving six-man rotation.with no walks in six one-hit scoreless innings. In the Cubs’ farm system, Herz had Nuke LaLoosh stats — 455 strikeouts but 208 walks in 317⅔ innings.
Some never learn. Change that: Most never learn. I spent decades standing 15 feet behind pitchers in spring training watching them throw strikes, or competitive near strikes — those accidentally ideal “chase pitches” — on almost every delivery. Then, in a game, they don’t have the competitive courage to do it — until they are behind in the count and have no choice. The “fear of the bat” gets them, subconsciously.
