For much of this decade, Nationals fans were waiting for Strasburg — the first overall pick in the 2009 draft — to team up with Harper, the top selection in 2010, and take the team all the way. Instead, it was constant sorrow, beginning with the fact Strasburg was shut down as a precautionary measure in 2012 and didn’t toss a pitch in the Nats’ first post-season appearance since moving to D.C. in 2005.
But eight months after Harper signed a monster deal with the Philadelphia Phillies, the guy he was once co-face of the franchise with is experiencing his best days as a National. Of course, that’s basically true for everyone on the team right now.Howie Kendrick was never going to have to buy a drink again in Washington after his series-deciding grand slam in Game 5 of the National League Division Series versus the Los Angeles Dodgers. Kendrick, however, is thirsty for more.
Anything less than sparkling pitching and defence isn’t going to get it done for the Cardinals right now, because the team just can’t find its collective swing. St. Louis has only two runs in the entire series and didn’t score in Game 3 until the top of the seventh, when Washington had already built a 7-0 advantage.
The Cards, cold bats in hand, are now trying to become the first National League team ever to climb out of an 0-3 series hole. Assuming they can’t, Washington will soon host its first World Series game since 1933.
