Tag archive: Henry Rodríguez

My goodness. That was some baseball game, although I would have preferred a different ending than a 4-3 win by the Dodgers in 10 innings.

Bryce Harper logged his first major-league hit and RBI, and his arm made its own debut with a bullet from left to home. Stephen Strasburg was terrific, logging 9 strikeouts in 7 innings, while allowing just 5 hits and one earned run. Strasburg also hit a double and came thiiiiiis close to adding a 3-run homer.

And then there’s Henry Rodriguez. In two-thirds of an inning, Rodriguez tortured Nationals fans by allowing 3 hits and 2 earned runs. He threw 3 wild pitches, and for all I knew, his next pitch might have landed in my living room in DC.

I’m always a wreck when Henry is pitching. When is Drew Storen coming back?
