PS17 Posted June 8, 2010 Share Posted June 8, 2010 Scary ****ing good. 4 K's, 1 hit allowed through two. He's got some of the best movement I've ever seen and he's already hit 100. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bergen Jet Posted June 8, 2010 Share Posted June 8, 2010 Yeah... He looks incredible through 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greenranger Posted June 8, 2010 Share Posted June 8, 2010 The speed behind some of these pitches is scary. He's doing a good job at consistently keeping his fastballs between 96-100 MPH. Plus he's doing a good job of mixing his pitch styles up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Greenranger Posted June 8, 2010 Share Posted June 8, 2010 Struck out 6 of eight batters faced. He is the real deal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bergen Jet Posted June 8, 2010 Share Posted June 8, 2010 I love the kid but remember it's the Pirates... Impressive none the less. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blackout Posted June 8, 2010 Share Posted June 8, 2010 it's just the Pirates everyone they have 5 starters with an OPS+ under 80. 100 is league average, so you can tell how pitiful that is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lurker Posted June 9, 2010 Share Posted June 9, 2010 yes dude is way too good it's unfair pirates are an aaa lineup so he hasn't really made his debut yet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CrazyCarl40 Posted June 9, 2010 Share Posted June 9, 2010 You've got love baseball. You've got this young kid throwing 100 MPH and blowing it by guys in one game then you have a 43 year old guy throwing half as hard and still getting it by guys in another. Amazing.

Greenranger Posted June 9, 2010 Share Posted June 9, 2010 11 K's through 6 innings, may take the loss, but still impressive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blackout Posted June 9, 2010 Share Posted June 9, 2010 Still, with 6 k's in three innings in your debut, I don't care who you're facing that is impressive. K's are impressive but as long as you get the out it doesn't matter how Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greenranger Posted June 9, 2010 Share Posted June 9, 2010 K's are impressive but as long as you get the out it doesn't matter how Missed my point but yes. And now he is on the hook for the win. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PS17 Posted June 9, 2010 Author Share Posted June 9, 2010 Beastly. K'd 7 in a row. 8 of his last 9 14 K's HOLY CRAP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greenranger Posted June 9, 2010 Share Posted June 9, 2010 14 K's through 7. The record in a debut is 15, both came in complete games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Otter Posted June 9, 2010 Share Posted June 9, 2010 I don't care that it's the Pirates. Strasburg was great tonight. 14 K's and 0 walks! His delivery looks effortless, but he's throwing 99 MPH. His curve and change are nasty as well. Good for the Nats. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnnyHector Posted June 9, 2010 Share Posted June 9, 2010 The K's are nice, but it's obvious that he needs to work on his control. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LionelRichie Posted June 9, 2010 Share Posted June 9, 2010 Strasburg totally dominated tonight. He had 1 tough inning and he almost made it out before leaving a changeup in the middle of the plate. The kid hit 103 on the gun in the 7th inning and could easily have finished the game tonight. If he can avoid arm injury he has the chance to be one of the greats. I've never even heard of a 90 MPH change-up before. The curve was buckling major league hitters knees, and he throws 95 MPH 2-seam sinker and 99+ 4-seam fastball. very, very rarely does someone live up to the hype. Strasburg did.

SenorGato Posted June 9, 2010 Share Posted June 9, 2010 Great debut...well worthy of the ridiculous hype. His fastball is up there with Jimenez and Verlander already. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bergen Jet Posted June 9, 2010 Share Posted June 9, 2010 The K's are nice, but it's obvious that he needs to work on his control. I know. If he keeps up walking 0 guys a game he will get himself into trouble.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Gun Of Bavaria Posted June 9, 2010 Share Posted June 9, 2010 The stats are all nice and that, but what's really important: What's his position on the controversial Arizona immigration law? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doggin94it Posted June 9, 2010 Share Posted June 9, 2010 I just got offered Kemp for Strasburg straight up in a fantasy league . . . and turned it down (OK, I would have taken it if it wasn't a keeper league and Kemp wasn't set to be a FA next season, but then, it probably wouldn't have been offered in the first place) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lurker Posted June 9, 2010 Share Posted June 9, 2010 K's are impressive but as long as you get the out it doesn't matter how Ks are better because if the guy puts it in play it could be an error, a squibber, or other stuff whenever someone puts it in play there's a chance of him getting on if you K him, no chance unless the catcher drops the pitch or something Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
