Nats lose Pirates series; so many strikeouts, Strasburg is incredible & growth of the fanbase

Last night after watching the Washington Nationals fall to the Pittsburgh Pirates for the second consecutive night, I tweeted “You know that *skepticism* we have of Rick Eckstein and the team doctors/trainers? I have that for the #Nats optometrist too.”
