Strasburg PlayAlong Thread

[Nascar1966]

Strasburg had a great night yesterday. Look at who the opposing team was. His next scheduled start is supposed to be against Cleveland. Another power house team. Lets see what kind of stuff he has when he pitches against the Dodgers or Cardinals.

Yes he will have ups and downs but the major leagues is the major leagues. 14ks and no walks is Real.

My thinking is by having him make his first major league starts against the Pirates and Indians are to get his confidence built up. If this is the case then kudos to the Nationals for stratigically scheduled the starts like that.

How good is Strasbug?? Good enough to put the Cleveland Indians on national televsion on TBS Sunday afternoon! That is really, really good.

Did I miss all the other pitchers that are striking out 14 guys in 7 innings and no walks with less than 100 pitches against those teams?

Did I miss all the other pitchers that throw 100 with a 90mph change and 80 mph curve and great command?

Has being in Chicago and being exposed to the terrible baseball here somehow caused me to miss all these other guys?
