We were aware. However, there are those who object to a thread being created every time he does so.

That said, the real news is that he dressed up as Papa Smurf today.

That's weird. This "event" was for the Nationals rookies, but Strasburg was a rookie last season.

Did he get the hazing event last year? If not probably should have this year.

If the hazing takes place during this same time... Sept 11th or so.... he wouldnt have been hazed last year since he was out with injury.

Yeah, they never do the hazing before rosters expand, so he missed out.

With the exception of Strasburg, that looks more like a beer league softball team. You can really tell the league has cracked down on PED's.

this year's return is who cares. Strasburg's return in front of the nats fans was not in front of a sellout crowd and MLB Network decided to televise Braves/Phillies instead of Nats/Dodgers (but did show some of Nats/Dodgers during the rain delay).

I have a feeling Strasburg may be the new Greg Maddux from here on out. Won't overpower you to rack up the strikeouts like he did in his rookie season before he blew out his elbow but probably will be an effective pitcher.

Seems like he's still thowing upper 90's so im not sure the comp is quite apt.

hmmm, probably selective highlights then. It seemed most stuff I saw in video of his second start was 87-91 with an occasional high 90's. I do know few runs allowed and low K's in both starts so he's definitely not the fireballer strikeout artist he was in his brief 2010 career.
Maybe that will come back with time or maybe he's decided to redo his pitching style and protect his arm by throttling it back while remaining effective.
