I can't see the game at work. Anyone know what his velocity was at?

You need to get your priorities inline. How can you work on the day that Strasburg debuts. :(

Noyce. :mrgreen:

Who here besides me would love to see a Stras-Chapman matchup this year?

Absolutely.

I think that this is the ONE guy on the P side of the ledger (stras) that you have to say "screw arbitration years" and bring him north when they break ST. He single handidly can create interest and sell seats from the get-go, in a town that (despite the Caps being good) desperately needs a shot in the sports arm. ESPECIALLY since the agent 0 bs in hoops, and the city doing a collective "Dan Snyder is NOT spending money??" head shake

You paid less than he says he did, so I guess you did ok.

I would move it before the sig fades any more than it already has. :lol:

So I'm guessing that's it for him....I heard it was either 2 IP or 30 pitches.

What was his velocity at in the 2nd?

Really bummed MLB is not broadcasting this for free on mlb.tv, just to generate hits and drum up interest in the Nats.

If this is a long-term hold, then it's too much as I'd be worried about the auto fading. Short term? It's definitely risky but probably a reasonable price.

From MLB.com. The bolded portion is the most impressive part of the story, IMO.




Strasburg dazzles in spring debut
Nats righty tosses two shutout innings, strikes out Cabrera

VIERA, Fla. -- Nationals right-hander Stephen Strasburg, the No. 1 overall pick in the 2009 First-Year Player Draft, made his Spring Training debut against the Tigers at Space Coast Stadium on Tuesday afternoon and pitched two scoreless innings.

In the first inning, Strasburg retired the Tigers in order. His pitches were clocked no lower than 96 mph.

In the second inning, Strasburg faced the tough part of the order. He threw two 81-mph curveballs to Miguel Cabrera before striking out the slugger on a 98-mph fastball.

The next hitter, Carlos Guillen, grounded out to Ryan Zimmerman on a 97-mph fastball. After giving up consecutive singles to Don Kelly and Alex Avila, Strasburg regrouped and struck out Brent Dlugach looking on an 81-mph curveball.

Strasburg threw 27 pitches, 15 for strikes.
