strasburg

Yeah, he is mowing down this Double A team.

 

Too bad they're going to pull him soon.

 

Felix Hernandez was a better talent, imo.

 

Well, even if they do take Strasburg out after only 81 pitches, he's now in position to pick up the win.

 

i seriously thought this thread was gonna be about someone's upcoming trip to the alsace

 

America!

Love it or leave it, hombre.

 

5 dollars says he goes Kerry Wood on the Stros if he faces us this season.

 

We only have one series left with them but it's a 4 game series in Washington. So there's an excellent chance we'll face him as long as he doesn't get injured.

 

Me too. By the way, it's a cute little city.

 

u sound too bullish to be a hedge-fund manager :grin:

 

nah, i prefer freiburg and colmar

 

That's probably it for him, but 14 K's and striking out the last 7 he faced is pretty damned impressive.

 

So against a REAL MLB squad he probably gets 8-10 Ks...I'm a believer!

 

He's filthy. Don't like his mechanics though, hope he's able to stay healthy.

 

Its more than impressive. Its video game-ish.

Ironically Riggleman managed another phenom in 1998 who struck out 20 Stros in one game. Lets hope Steven has a better career.

 

More like LEGENDARY...

jazayerli According to baseball-reference.com, no P has ever struck out 14+ batters on so few pitches. Javier Vazquez threw 96 pitches on 4/9/03.

 

He pitched better today than he did in the minors!

 

Probably because he was facing a lineup in which Lastings Milledge was featured as the #3 hitter. Yes, the Lastings Milledge that even the Last Place Nationals wanted no part of.
