Strasburg Strikes Out 14 in Nationals Debut

[Jakeyboy2128]

y do the bad teams always get the outstanding players

the yanks should try to trade joba chamberlin for him

[iN31L]

@Jakeyboy2128 Because bad teams get good picks through good scouting and early picks. Where as wealthy teams (Yankees or Red Sox) just buy their players, for example Adrian Gonzalez, Carl Crawford, Alex Rodriguez etc. And I'm sure the Nats would accept that trade /sarcasm.

[PiN0xX]

.. so about that shoulder?

[Beaster456]

The original strikeout record for the nationals: 2

[goldendome10383]

he had a nice little career

[NkrumahTure]

Wow, that Stephen Strausburg threw just as hard as Vida Blue did (not harder) in his 1971 Cy Young Award & MVP Award Winning year.

[Zeppelintroll69]

The Dodgers need him.

[SLAYERMETALLICA357]

@Zeppelintroll69 The Dodgers need a new owner...

[ilovevideogamedude]

s.s is awesome but they were playing against the pirates

[kiiifute1]

Let "pitchers" complete THEIR games , for God's sake.

...and spare me the garbage in support of any position to the contrary especially the nonsense re' preserving arms'

[ZJComparisons]

@kiiifute1 u clearly know nothing about baseball. hes 22

[GriffinMcCarley]

Ive read that after Tommy Johns surgery, some guys come back even stronger than before. Can you imagine this guy back and stronger? wow..

[suckittrebek619]

The biggest problem for him will be staying healthy. Everything being said about him now was being said about Kerry Wood a decade ago, but injuries ruined his career before it really started. I wish him good luck, because if he does stay healthy the sky's the limit.

[gumberly]

@ModernAttitudeable what???? i said he'd done because he was injured. i thought he was done for good. is he?

dude calm down. i wasn't hating.....

[HilltopperBaseball]

@gumberly no hes most likely coming back he just had to have a successfull surgery.

[Man2be23]

He has excellent focus and determination. Great Baseball pitcher.

[imaball]

yankees are going to want to buy him -.-

[VWjunkie747]

will

[DJA216]

Kerry Wood 2.0

[Koorice]

his mechanics dont look very good

[applesauceman]

will settle into a 2nd or 3rd starter. said it before and i'll say it now. truly great pitchers slowly come on, see: jimenez, oswalt, lee, etc. etc.

[wmbosques]

Elf on steroids.. Cotton Headed Ninnymuggins ! But,a total bad ass !!! The new Nolan Ryan..

[TheNaturalSpark]

his ears are huge.

[tmustangs06]

Ya, Strasburg is crazy. He hit 101 a few times if I remember right...too many triple digit pitches to remember lol.

[pigroast369]

he is not human

[chibirthday]

lol

[Checkmate10000]

This guy has scary potential. Can't wait to see him in a few years.

[yamari789]

@Checkmate10000 you wont see him

[gumberly]

@Checkmate10000 he's done......

[MrMaggotforlife13]

@Checkmate10000 yqa if he comes back from his tommyjohn sergury (excuse my spelling)

[MrQuickWin]

look at them ears...wooooooo doggy

[jr55ful]

how unfair it is for hitters to face a guy that throws 100mph aspirin tablets and curve balls that fall straight down at the plate. this guy has koufax,gibson,ryan stuff and seems like a decent guy. baseball has a gold mine in this guy.

[Greenday712]

i wanna see this guy in another 5 years... i bet he will b pitching 102 mph by then! next cy young for sure

[theatlantean2]

reminds me of roy hobbs (the natural)........this could be the start of something very special. its kind of early, but when i think of the name strasburg, i think of the names RUTH, MANTLE, RYAN, COBB, SHOELESS JO.......time will tell. Stay thirsty my friend :-)

[govproject10]

his ears help him maintain his balance on the mound

[Jedister11]

@govproject10 lol

[jpurcell91]

he has the same release point on all his pitches.....

[andros1984]

96-100 Four seam fastball

92-96 Sinking two seam fastball

88-90 Change-up

80-82 Curveball

Dirty!

[gotoeat]

@andros1984 it is a slurve

[italiangrl4eva]

this guy pitched against my brothers baseball team in college a little over a year ago and he pitched a no hitter game. this guys freaking insane!

[Jedister11]

@italiangrl4eva wait dat no hitter that he had was on against ur bros team? wow

[italiangrl4eva]

@Jedister11 wow what? this guys freaking insane and hes pitches a no hitter against more than one team.

[RhinoRant]

He is unreal.

[hararedreams]

this guy is the real deal

[AnimalCrackers5]

100mph and a curve like that and it doesn't matter if the batter knows it's coming or not. He'll be ok for a while until he starts to lose velocity.

[Gandhiablo]

How many went down swinging is the ???

He 'shows' too much and will be figured out soon enough.

So don't git yer hopes up Expos err Nats fans

[mrpeter3242]

@Gandhiablo

I don't like your negative vibe, so just shut your mouth.

[Gandhiablo]

@mrpeter3242

I don't like you so KMA

[BostonSports1011]

@Gandhiablo 12 went down swinging

[Gandhiablo]

@BostonSports1011

Well that's impressive

Suckering vets into swinging at garbage

But they'll figure him out

[Gandhiablo]

@BostonSports1011

I was just saying he 'shows' to much cause you can clearly see how he;s holding the ball like showing your hand in poker

[BobtheMoneythedbr]

Pretty cool!

[des696969]
