Strasburg's first game against big league bats

[geor952]

I am amazed at how well he is getting outs when he is behind in the count. Very impressive. He is calm and has a great confidence on the mound. Should be a fun career for us to witness.

His super refractory will be BIN for 50k before the clock strikes 12.

[Matt]

Is it possible for his superfractor to actually go up in value from the $16k it ended at? Wasn't $16k already assuming he was in the HOF?

[packs]

Ridiculous start. Struck out every starter at least once. Good piece of hitting on that home run though.

Wait until the Bryce Harper cards hit the market , should go for equally insane prices.

[fkw]

The 7 in a row came right after he gave up the HR on a changeup.
He may be able to turn it up a notch.

Most SO in debut since JR Richards had 15



I was actually rooting for him to get bombed on the first outing, not in career, but just the first few outings.

Wanted to see some of the shinny prospector collectors squirm

oh well

[Tom Hufford]

Kinda makes you forget all about Bumpus Jones, doesn't it?

[barrysloate]

Looks like he will get the win too. I've watched some of it and he looks terrific. His fastball is awesome. Good for him. I hope he's a big star.

[barrysloate]

Through 7 innings: 14 strikeouts, including seven strikeouts in a row...in his major league debut. Are you kidding me?

[calvindog]

He's unreal. 98 MPH in the seventh inning. Wicked curve, fastball with movement. He's better than advertised it would seem.

[Abravefan11]

That was an impressive first start in the majors.

[FUBAR]

sounds impressive..... its not on tv here but hopefully i will catch the hilights

[Robextend]

Absolutely filthy stuff...he stays healthy the sky is the limit.

Also want to add that I love the Costas/Kaat team. Wish I saw more games with them broadcasting together.
