Colorado just knocked Strasburg out of the Cy Young race.
9 ER in 1.2 IP, and they didn't need a HR to do it. All nine guys have one hit or walk.
He almost had two more ER - reliever just got the third out after walking em full.
Strasburg has now given up 18 er in his last 11.2 ip over 3 starts. Without checking, i'm assuming the velocity is still there with 18 k's in those 11.2 ip. Control is shaky but not terrible with 6 bb's in those 11.2 ip. The big culprit is the 24 hits in those 11.2 ip. Maybe he's tipping his pitches? Coors field didn't help him today. But, the fact that it's now 3 starts in a row where he has been hit hard is concerning.

any pitcher as soon as I trade for them, Strasberg, Arretta, etc....so much for making up ground in pitching

There are less than 4 weeks left in the season and backup O's catcher, Caleb Joseph, who has been up most of the year, still doesnt have an RBI. His stats:
22-120, 6 R, 2 2B, 0 HR, 0 RBI, .183/.228/.200
MLB record for most ABs in a season w/o an RBI appears to be held by Oscar Jones who in 1904 had 137 ABs and never got an RBI. Joseph has a shot at this.
