so BBTN was promoting ESPN carrying the game on Tuesday. As a day game.
The MLB/Nationals schedule pages have it as 7:05.
The fuckers aren't going to change it to keep it from eating into the NBA finals audience on ABC, are they?

I just got this like ten minutes ago, so I am guessing it is still 7:05.http://i45.tinypic.com/xoma0z.png

well, NOW it appears ESPN isn't covering the game. Which means the Nationals had the right to say "fuck you" about changing the time, and ESPN said "No, fuck ppl who don't watch the NBA"?

Nationals owner says team not hosting Strasburg retirement ceremony
this whole thing is a pathetic own-goal
― mookieproof, Saturday, 9 September 2023 05:37 (nine months ago) link
I just read that Strasburg's contract was not insured (who would insure it given his injury history?) so now I understand why the Nats' management are being such as assholes about this.
And yet somehow, even though the team is up for sale, Rizzo hasn't been extended, and the scouting team has been gutted, they might finish ahead of the Mets.

Nats were probably offering him a million a year until 2247.

He started with a light bullpen session — all fastballs — his first time throwing off a mound since that June start in Miami. A few days later, he tried another easy session, this time mixing in his change-up. By the beginning of February 2023, he tried to mix in his curveball and to ramp up the velocity a bit, all of 30 or 35 pitches.The result: “Everything started like, yard sale, yard sale,” he said. The pitches sprayed everywhere. He had no feel.Physical issues followed almost immediately. His shoulder muscles started to atrophy. He couldn’t lift his right arm. The plan: Take a day of rest, then on the next day, play catch from 45 feet — three-quarters of the distance between the rubber and the plate.“I couldn’t even really get it to him,” Strasburg said. “At that point, I knew something was wrong.”By this point, the symptoms were acute. He drove with his left arm atop the wheel. He had trouble using his right hand to turn a doorknob. Strasburg saw Robin West, the Nationals’ team physician and a noted orthopedist. He said her instructions amounted to: “Just don’t do anything.” They took another EMG to send to ElAttrache and his team. The image revealed more damage to the nerves.“They basically told me that it’s not in your best interest to keep trying this,” Strasburg said. “What kept happening was I was trying to get back, and then you just get further and further away.”
