Ivan Rodriguez will now be solidified in the hall of fame because he caught stephen Strasburg's first game.

5 K's in 2.1 innings so far.

Goody · 06-08-2010, 08:39 PM

6 in 2.2

KBLover · 06-08-2010, 08:39 PM

Insane - 6 of 8 outs recorded by K

Goody · 06-08-2010, 08:41 PM

2nd time through the line up might be different?

KBLover · 06-08-2010, 08:42 PM

Could be, we'll see.

Oh man, he's even got an eye at the plate

Nope, the Pirates will be equally as inept. They make the A's look like they play in Colorado.

The Mariners make the A's pitchers look like Nolan Ryan, Sandy Koufax and Greg Maddox combined. But they can still rip up a AAA pitcher that isn't ready for the bigs (well, now and then...)...

They got a Pirates defensive player to improve their batting lineup.

KBLover · 06-08-2010, 08:59 PM

And - he gives up a HR. Send him to A-ball. What a bust.

ZiggyPop · 06-08-2010, 09:33 PM

It might be a stretch, but to think that this guy might have been pitching in Olympic Stadium in Montreal tonight makes me ******* sick.

Goody · 06-08-2010, 09:53 PM

Geeez, is that 13 or 14 K's?

I really wish I could have watched this but i'm at work.

Goody · 06-08-2010, 09:54 PM

PH for Strasbourg.

Final line: 7 IP, 4 H, 2 R, 0 BB, 14 K

Leaves ahead 4-2

f.montoya · 06-08-2010, 09:58 PM

This kid is insane!!!!

I say let him pitch the full 9 and see if he can get 20 K's!

Green & Gold Heart · 06-08-2010, 09:58 PM

That is crazy good, even vs. the Pirates.

Bobbuttons · 06-08-2010, 10:00 PM

Yeah, I think it's safe to say that Strasburg's debut was a colossal disaster.

The warpaint, him glaring at umpires for having the audacity to not see things his way, finishing his JUCO career on suspension because he got thrown out of multiple games for arguing with umps... just doesn't paint a good picture of the guy's character.

Maybe age and pro ball will even his keel, but we'll see.

Erik W. · 06-08-2010, 10:06 PM

dola,

As for Strasburg... wow. The hype might be justified.

jaxmagicman · 06-08-2010, 10:11 PM

I am going to guess he goes 7 innings. Gets 14 K's. No walks and gives up 2 runs.

Jason Moyer · 06-08-2010, 10:31 PM

The guy throws 100-102, has crazy stuff, and his command of the strikezone is amazing. I'm not sure there's ever been a pitcher who is comparable in terms of ability. Obviously he won't be putting up a 14:0 k:bb ratio every start, but I wouldn't be surprised if he ends up being a dominant pitcher for a long time, even as he gets older (he's not all velocity, like a lot of young pitchers).

Marsupials do....cause they're fast! Gibson swings, and a fly ball to deep right field! This is gonna be a home run! Unbelievable! A home run for Gibson!
