Strasburg

So Stephen Strasburg made his Major League debut last night.  All the Pirates' hitters could do was shake their heads and do a double take back at the mound.  Yep.  He's only 21.  And this is his first Major League start ever.  Strasburg threw 7 innings last night.  Of the 21 outs, 14 were strikeouts!  Are you kidding me ?  He didn't walk a single batter, and the only mistake he made was leaving a change up a little high that was hit over the right field wall. 

Well send him back to the Minors I guess. 

His fastball was between 97-99 the whole night.  He hit 100 mph in the 2nd inning.  His curve ball is almost unhittable.  Well, last night it was unhittable.  The kid has a bright future for sure.  I can't wait until he faces Pujols and the Cardinals.  That will be a better test.  Still, not a bad way to kick off a career.
