Strasburg taking the mound tonight on ESPNU 7:00PM

[aw00d05]

not impressed with this guy at all ::facepalm::

Obviously you've never watched him before...

No I have not, lol, but if I was to rate him based on this performance I am not impressed

1 performance means nothing though, I agree with Manning who said he's overhyped, but he's still alot better than any other pitcher in College Baseball, only guy close is Mike Leake.

But when you pitching in St Marys league of the Blind... you go 13-0 with a tiny ERA and you strike out a ton of guys. You play a TEAM that is good.... you see the real guy come out.

He still dominated AA talent in the Olympics so one start doesn't mean much if anything to me.

Through 2IP, he has 5 K's, 2 runs on 3 hard hit balls an error and 3 questionable mishaps by the catcher, gets ahead in the count on nearly every hitter, and he is declared overhyped?

Sounds like there are a few people on a witchhunt here.

Always are. People like to come in and declare prospect overrated, so if they don't pan out they can say, "I told you so."

 

[Jaypers]

MUCH better 3rd inning.

His catcher can't seem to handle that slider, no matter how hard he tries, though.

[quote="P_Manning 18":4ikcz5k3]49 pitches thru 2 innings.

He better settle down or he wont make it out of the 4th.

I think you mean his catcher needs to settle down or he won't make it out of the 4th.

No.... his catcher isnt pitching.

The catcher isn't catching either, but that's just my observation.[/quote:4ikcz5k3]

So? What does that have to do with the number of pitches Strasburg has thrown?

If you can't add 1 +1 at this point in your life, it will be very hard for me to teach you.

Some people just revel in other people's failures, or "failures". They get excited seeing other people's excitement dashed.

 

[P_Manning 18]

Finally a decent inning.

If he can settle down.... he might be able to stay in long enough to get a win.

 

[moxacaine]

i want to see some bad outings so it doesnt increase the price the Nationals are going to have to pay for him.

And people who hold Strasberg cards like to hype the crap out of him. Goes both ways.

Does Buster Olney or Jim Callis collect cards? They may, they may not, but they started it. Blame them.

All of baseball and the media hype him up, and none of it justifies the behavior I was talking about.

 

[Jaypers]

Another quick inning.

 

[Jaypers]

Once again, he hits double digits - 10 K's through 5.

He's hit 98 on the gun tonight, and his average pitch has been 94.

 

[bballcardkid]

Looks like the first 2 innings could be the deciding factor in the game. I don't see San Diego St. getting anything going offensively off Morey.

 

[Jaypers]

This guy Morey has looked filthy tonight. Wonder if he's draft eligible.

No clue, but he definately knows how to keep the ball down. He doesn't light up a radar gun, but his slider is disgusting.

 

[Jaypers]

12 K's through 6, and zero walks. Might be it for him. Shame that his team hasn't been able to give him any runs.

 

[bballcardkid]

This is double elimination correct? So San Diego St. plays monday do or die?

I believe so. I wonder if Gwynn will let him pitch an inning or two in relief then.

 

[bballcardkid]

15K's and getting stronger

The haters have ceased ::facepalm::
