Papelbon,

I double checked on McGuire.

He did lose his last start in the ACC tourney. He actually pitched very well for five innings but then the other team exploded on him in the 6th. Some bad defense was partly to blame.

But he won his first start in the NCAA tourney Friday night.

He did have a bad outing Monday, but bear in mind he took the ball with only 2 days off after throwing 121 pitches Friday night. I don't know who thought he could beat an SEC team under those circumstances, but it was a do-or-die game and they put their top arm on the mound. You see guys going on inadequate rest repeatedly in these situations.

I'm sure the Nationals are glad Strasburg was spared that treatment due to his team's earlier exit.
