The Nationals Have Figured It Out

PrintStarting for Washington today is some guy named Craig Stammen.
WASHINGTON -- The Nationals have dismissed Randy ["Busty" -ed.] St. Claire as pitching coach and replaced him with Steve McCatty, who had the same role with Triple-A Syracuse.
Under St. Claire, the Nationals' pitching staff ranked 30th, with a 5.69 ERA. Most of the problems came from the bullpen, which has blown 12 games.
Since 2004, the Nationals have had 46 individual seasons in which a starter threw at least 30 innings. 40 of those 46 seasons featured below-average tRAs. This is solely the fault of the coach.
John Patterson might want to lock his doors in preparation for when St. Claire reaches the angry stage.

I've been staring at this post for the last 10 minutes trying to figure out how much sarcasm is in it.
I think I’m coming up with about 70%.
What everyone really wants to know is
how will this affect their Strassburg decision.

Johann Strausburg and Heinz Starusburg aren't eligible for the draft until 2010.

Are they someone's fantasy team?
If so, they have rather bizzarre fantasies.

Surprised they don't just hire Strasburg's pitching coach
With the investment they’re undoubtedly going to make in the kid, might as well make him as comfortable as possible by sticking with what’s worked.
IF I WAS MANAGER I'D HAVE A FIST FIGHT WITH YUNI RIGHT NOW AND KNOCK HIS FUCKING MONKEY HEAD CLEAN OFF (~EM)
