Strasburg Debuts

ry1220 · 06-08-2010, 11:26 AM

Predictions for tonight?

5 IP 3 ER 7 K 2 BB

Not bad, he'll get the win.

Regardless, either way, he'll get a ton of media attention for either a "Solid Debut" or "No no-hitter for Strasburg? He's a bust!" likely more towards the latter if my predicted line is the outcome.

There. I've channeled my inner spammer and inner hater. Predict away:

Goody · 06-08-2010, 12:01 PM

Sounds about right.

Erik W. · 06-08-2010, 12:58 PM

Nationals vs Pirates. So, basically still AAA with a bigger stadium.

6 IP, 1 ER, 5 H, 2 BB, 5 K

Cryomaniac · 06-08-2010, 01:27 PM

I predict 6.1 IP 1 ER 1 BB 4 K and a lot of media hype.

Tony M · 06-08-2010, 01:37 PM

Strasburg debuts...

Jean-Alain Fanchone - August 8th, 2008 v Dijon (French Ligue 2)
Farez Brahmia - October 2nd, 2009 v Angers SCO (French Ligue 2)

awaits the whooshes...

SandMan · 06-08-2010, 01:50 PM

I predict that he will bomb in his first start. Something like 4 IP, 5 RUNS, 3 BB and 3 K. His second start will be better but I think he gets rocked a bit in his first start.

Green & Gold Heart · 06-08-2010, 02:13 PM

I think he'll run up his pitch count early, going to a lot of 3-2 counts. So something like this:

5 IP, 1 ER, 3 H, 4 BB, 4 K

eriqjaffe · 06-08-2010, 02:16 PM

I predict that he'll throw a perfect game, broker peace in the Middle East, save 243 orphans from a fire, and walk across the Potomac.

And Uni Watch will complain about the Nationals' uniforms again. Maybe I should submit some MVP 2005 mods to the Nats' front office.

Isn't this Strasbourg debuts?

Also, this should have been a poll.

Rizon · 06-08-2010, 04:07 PM

It's only the Pirates, so it's just another AAA start for him.

mrskippy · 06-08-2010, 04:22 PM

He'll get the first 26 batters out, before being part of a botched call at 1B. He'll get the next batter out. Deja vu!!!

Seriously, if this happened, there would no doubt be a firestorm. Selig would be under immense pressure to overturn the ump's ruling and in turn would have to overturn the one from last week too.

OK ...

I think we will have a nice debut, pitch 5-6 innings, allow 2-3 runs, strike out at least one per inning. Good enough not to be sent back down to the minors.

rudel.dietrich · 06-08-2010, 05:06 PM

A good thing is happening for a team that needs and deserves a good thing to happen to it.

rudel.dietrich · 06-08-2010, 05:14 PM

I also want to point out that Washington also drafted Bryce Harper who should get getting as much notoriety and excitment as Strasburg

Yeah, Harper looks like he has serious talent. A shame about him also being a serious douche.

Why is that? (him being a douche, I haven't followed him much)

As for Strasburg, I'm with the group that says he runs up the pitch count early. I bet he doesn't get past 5 innings.

KBLover · 06-08-2010, 07:39 PM

6 IP, 6 H, 4 R, 3 ER, 3 BB, 7 K, 105 pitches, ND as the Nats bullpen and defense screw it up. Again.

edm · 06-08-2010, 08:07 PM

Was looking forward to seeing him pitch tonight but because they're playing Pittsburgh the game is blacked out on extra innings and the mlb network

Prediction

6.2 innings. 7 hits, 9 k's 4 BB's, 4 earned.

ry1220 · 06-08-2010, 08:30 PM

Does anyone else think Strasburg (I have heard a lot of comparisons to Mark Prior) looks eerily similar to.....

Justin Verlander? In terms of stuff and delivery?

Goody · 06-08-2010, 08:34 PM

espn conversation below the game makes me think they set up 1000 monkeys at keyboards.
