"I can’t really tell you what the problem was, but some Hot Stuff got misplaced. It was on his shoulder and evidently – I don’t know how it got to where it got, but it was uncomfortable, to say the least." (Davey Johnson, via Washington Post, 5/15/2012) "Yeah you know, gonna keep that in the clubhouse, so..." (Stephen Strasburg, when asked about Davey's Hot Stuff comment, via MASN postgame video, 5/15/2012) "It's just tough because the ball was soaking wet up until the second-to-last hitter I faced that inning. You're just trying to guide it in there." (Stephen Strasburg, via MASNSports.com, 5/15/2012) So, did someone put Hot Stuff in Stephen Strasburg's jock? Padres 6, Nationals 1.

Via NESN.com  |  May 16, 2012
Stephen Strasburg didn't look like Stephen Strasburg on Tuesday night against the Padres. The 23-year-old suffered his first loss of the season after allowing a season-high four earned runs in just four innings of work -- his shortest outing of the season. Typically, there are many things you can point to as reasons for getting touched up as a starter; lack of command, control...

Stephen Strasburg had his worst outing of the season on Tuesday during a rain-interrupted start against the Padres.

Strasburg can't get a grip, loses to Padres

Via Pro Sports Daily  |  May 15, 2012
It was very unusual to see Nationals' starter Stephen Strasburg allow three runs in the first inning. Strasburg had allowed three runs only once before in seven previous starts this season, so to see it happen in the first frame had to be a shocking circumstance. A dropped fly ball off the bat of the first hitter of the game, two walks and an eight-minute rain delay, coupled...

Stop me if I have said this before: The Padres lost again last night. The offense picked it up, but it was the pitching that failed them this time. More offense is what we're supposed to look forward to when we hit the road. And last night with 5 runs the offense was there. But the pitching staff gave up 3 homeruns. They are playing right now facing Stephen Strasburg. We'...
