Â Its crazy...i've had the mlb network on since about 6 now and the camera hasnt moved from him....he was literally surrounded by security while he was walking on the field....No pressure on him tonight Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SLAYER Posted June 8, 2010 Share Posted June 8, 2010 At least they are starting him off with Pirates and AAA Orioles. He will only pitch about 90 innings this year which should get him into mid August. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SLAYER Posted June 8, 2010 Share Posted June 8, 2010 Color me impressed 6K's out of the first 9. and a curve that is wicked. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SLAYER Posted June 9, 2010 Share Posted June 9, 2010 7 IP 4H 14K's no walks. I think he lived up to the hype. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Atlanta Cracker Posted June 9, 2010 Share Posted June 9, 2010 Very impressive. Â The only negative on the whole evening was Bob Costas. God I hate him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ursa Majoris Posted June 9, 2010 Share Posted June 9, 2010 7 IP 4H 14K's no walks. I think he lived up to the hype. Unbelievable. Sarge has had him stashed all year and now it's finally paid off.

bushwacked Posted June 9, 2010 Share Posted June 9, 2010 Wished the Mariners would have tanked it at the end of the 2008 season instead of sweeping the A's (they lost the chance to draft him by one game). Now they have a bunch of old M's coaches on the Nationals bench. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Azazello1313 Posted June 9, 2010 Share Posted June 9, 2010 I didn't catch much of his debut, but I turned the game on in the 6th inning. first pitch I see, curve ball. whoa. second pitch, another curve. dayum, that is a pretty filthy pitch. third pitch, 91 mph change/split the guy swings over and misses by a foot and a half. holy schit. fourth pitch, 99 mph 4-seamer blows the dude away. poor bassturd never had a chance. Â ok I think I see what all the hype was about Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darin3 Posted June 9, 2010 Share Posted June 9, 2010 Unbelievable. Sarge has had him stashed all year and now it's finally paid off. I know it's only Pittsburgh but...... I stashed him in a roto league and yeah... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

whomper Posted June 9, 2010 Share Posted June 9, 2010 Unbelievable. Sarge has had him stashed all year and now it's finally paid off. I know it's only Pittsburgh but...... Â Â Anyone that stashed him deserved this debut. I have the # 1 waiver in our Philly league and was tracking when they were calling him up. I thought the rule was on yahoo that a player isnt added to the database until they are officially on the roster. I went to pounce with a chit eating grin and saw he has been stashed since the draft. A gut punch indeed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ramhock Posted June 9, 2010 Share Posted June 9, 2010 He is an extremely rare talent, for sure. But to hear analysts & announcers spew over & over, that they have never seen anything like him, is just wrong. His stuff is very similar to Dwight Gooden's early years. Gooden's Uncle Charlie was dubbed "Lord Charles". The movement on their pitches is eerily similar and I haven't heard this comparison, yet.

True 'nuff but it isn't like someone like Gooden pops up annually. Strasburg may be the biggest pitching talent to emerge in a couple decades but then again, this is one game.

Azazello1313 Posted June 9, 2010 Share Posted June 9, 2010 True 'nuff but it isn't like someone like Gooden pops up annually. Â well, yeah. I mean, comparing his stuff to early doc gooden...that is once in a generation stuff. with apologies to snapple, that is the best stuff on earth.
