I’m finally drinking the coolaid. Forget about the previous years of underachieving, when you have pitching like the Nationals do, game win themselves. Even with Strasburg’s struggles, the 1-5 punch of Scherzer-Zimmerman-Gonzalez-Strasburg-Fister is enough to give pause to any starting lineup. We’ve seen it in previous years with the Giants, Red Sox, & Cardinals that pitching will take you all the way. With Scherzer leading the way, this team can be deadly come postseason.. .
