Just a note. There's been some talk around that a team starting the season 0-3 is like starting the season 0-8 and that's true but also not.
You see 0-3 is like 0-8 in the impact for the season. A shortened season means each game is more important and the impact of these shorter runs is as much as a greater one would be in a long season.
BUT
You see 0-3 is not like 0-8 for how rare it may be. It doesn't matter how short a season is, an 0-3 run doesn't become as unlikely as an 0-8 run. Every game still breaks in roughly the same way. Every team will still have an 0-3 run. Every team will probably have several 0-3 runs. Few teams will have 0-8 runs. Almost none will have multiple 0-8 runs.
An 0-3 run isn't a death sentence because a good team can make that back quickly fairly easily. An 0-8 run though is hard to make up quickly.
So don't get caught up in doom and gloom if the Nats get off to a slow start. That doesn't matter as much.

1 knee + BLM painted on the mound = it doesn't matter anyway
Absolutely. If we can't celebrate white supremacy what's even the point of sports?
Yay! Nats' medical paranoia strikes again! Strasburg scratched with nerve problems in his right hand? Is this a Scherzer "I slept wrong" thing? Obviously not, because they've already given Stras a cortisone shot.
Communists call others racist when they have nothing reasonable to say.
If baseball is a discussion of who is and is not racist, who wants to watch it.
If that's what you want, a world full of remarks like that, vote for it.
I would say 0-3 is some thing like a 2-6 stretch.
Weird to have Taylor in left and not Eaton.
Chaos56 - the bothersome part about Stras doesn't seem to be the injury but his willingness to just pack it up if he wants to. Which is his right but will almost certainly tank the season.
blvy8 - probably fair. But don't have to worry about it for right now! (and neither do the Yankees thank god). I think they are just keeping Eaton in place for consistency
