14 Ks thru 7 innings....some of these pitches are just overpowering batters, some buckling their knees. This kid looks damn good.

He does look like he knows what he is doing out there. It will be interesting to see what he does against a major league team. Maybe we will get a chance to see in interleague.

This is where cheapness and the impact this kid would had made with 12 early starts could burn the Nats ass in the end if they come up a few games short for the playoffs.

You already paid him $50M and you want to make sure he does not get another year of arbitration --so you wait until June 8th--for his first start?

The hanging curve was a great lesson...go with your best.

This kid knows more about pitching now than Nolan Ryan did ever.

Leave him be he is a genius and changed speed and location.

Then again Vin Scully said it best...been doing games since 1951 or earlier??? YIKES---there are at least 100+ or 4 teams out there that have Triple A talent...

5.5 GAMES BEHIND.....

Was it worth the one year arbitration hearing by the brainless GNATS?

12 MISSED STARTS......Time will tell...

Possible 11 home playoff games of REVENUE!!! and at least get into the tournamnet and add Oswalt or a bat???

IDIOTS! Absolute fucking idiots.

I feel like guys who make this kind of debut (overpoweringly good, big Ks, young age) never last. Is that true or is this just Dusty Baker's fault I have this impression?

Winner...6 years since his 12 lost starts saved 1 year.

Actually, I too was thinking that Strasburg reminded me of Mark Prior when he first came out. It looks like Washington is going to play it safe with him, unlike Dusty Baker who was forcing Prior to throw 120+ in like every single start.

Prior had an odd delivery and people pretty much knew he was going to have arm problems.

And even if they didn't they told you that they did after the fact.

Judging from this statement you heard Kurkjian (or Gammons whoever it was) say that he was going to only be a 600 inning pitcher. I mean, yeah, hindsight is 20/20 and people may take this with a grain of salt, but he said those people who had those concerns have no concerns with Strasburg.

People knew Prior's arm was going to get blown out because he was on the Cubs.

Just as many "experts" said he had perfect mechanics. I heard that many times during the 2 year period I couldn't believe the Yankees blew their chance with Prior. If given the choice I would take the total nothingness that was Pavano's NYY tenure over the enraging frustration from Prior career.

The test is not the first start against a terrible team when no one has full scouting reports on you nor have seen tendencies, patterns, tells, etc. I was blown away by his debut, but for him to be a stud, things have to be kept in perspective. Now the name of the game is being consistent, being able to adapt when necessary, and staying healthy.

Yeah, the first start he's going to have a natural advantage. He did adapt some in this game, realizing he didn't have to mix in the change, his weakest pitch, because his other stuff was overpowering my pirates. Health and developing the change are going to be the things I'm watching for.

Prior, Wood, Sosa were all juiced. Their muscles outgrew their ligaments, tendons, and bone. That's when you start getting hurt.
Shaven, not furred.
