6/8/2010 6:24:34 PM

6/8/2010 6:25:18 PM

the MLBTV coverage is ridiculous

lol at the Strasburg 1st pitch countdown on the bottom right of the screen

6/8/2010 6:26:39 PM

apparently they decided to give raleigh the mets/padres

6/8/2010 7:02:59 PM

well this sucks

6/8/2010 7:03:39 PM

first 2 sucked

6/8/2010 7:07:31 PM

MASN2 (641 on DirecTv).

They can't show it on MLB Network because it's locally blacked out because we're in their television market.

6/8/2010 7:07:50 PM

Holy shit that power curve had some movement. Jesus

6/8/2010 7:08:28 PM

fucking TWC god damn it


they've been ordered to put the fucking channel on and they still haven't? why?

6/8/2010 7:13:53 PM

damn you TWC

6/8/2010 7:14:33 PM

I still don't know why anyone that is a major sports fan doesn't have direct tv

6/8/2010 7:17:21 PM

WOW

6/8/2010 7:20:11 PM

yeah his breaking stuff is pretty nasty

6/8/2010 7:40:49 PM

meh

6/8/2010 7:59:24 PM

What a bust.

6/8/2010 8:00:21 PM

my schlong can pitch better than this guy, while flaccid

6/8/2010 8:03:46 PM

KKKKKKKKKKK thru 6

[Edited on June 8, 2010 at 8:34 PM. Reason : I like that better]

6/8/2010 8:31:56 PM

Holy Jesus.
7 IP
2 ER
4 H
0 BB
14 Ks

That is the sickest curve I've seen in a while.

[Edited on June 8, 2010 at 8:52 PM. Reason : .]

6/8/2010 8:51:10 PM

holy fuck, are you kidding me?! 14 strikeouts?! I am so glad I held onto him all season on my fantasy team

talk about living up to the hype, sportscenter/espn is going to have a field day with this tomorrow

6/8/2010 8:54:19 PM

14

[Edited on June 8, 2010 at 8:58 PM. Reason : whoops, I was off one]

6/8/2010 8:55:08 PM

damn! every single member of the pirates that played tonight has struck out to him at least once

and he has no walks

[Edited on June 8, 2010 at 8:56 PM. Reason : adsf]

6/8/2010 8:55:47 PM

the 0 BB is what's crazy.

6/8/2010 8:57:57 PM

Nationals record for strikeouts.

In his major league debut.

6/8/2010 9:01:06 PM

didnt think he could live up to all that hype but he's done it and then some.

6/8/2010 9:01:59 PM

a ton of buckled knees tonight

6/8/2010 9:03:31 PM

i guess this fella is "the truth"

6/8/2010 9:17:25 PM

wow. its a shame I didnt see any of it.

6/8/2010 9:29:08 PM

wooooooo bucs! 2-run HR!

6/8/2010 9:29:35 PM

I was telling someone ignorant to baseball earlier tonight that Strasburg's hype was the equivalent of the Lebron James of MLB

He lived up to the first game hype

6/8/2010 10:10:58 PM

Yeah he was absolutely dominant, other than the brief hiccup where he gave up the HR in the 4th. He recomposed himself well and I think struck out the 7 straight batters after that.

6/8/2010 10:18:12 PM

Impressive, but it was the Pirates - one of the worst 2/3 offenses in the league (with BAL & HOU)

6/8/2010 10:33:54 PM

Impressive regardless, but it was Pittsburgh.

His breaking stuff is crazy good. I'm looking forward to seeing this guy pitch some.....oh wait.....MASN/TWC shit.

Over/Under 1.5 Years before this guys arm falls off?

6/8/2010 11:52:58 PM

They asked Keith Law this morning what he thought Strasbug line would be.. And he said. 6 IP, couple of hits, maybe a run or 2 and 10 strikeouts. He pretty much got laughed at..


14Ks



If I was Keith Law I would be TOLD YOU BITCHES!!!!!

Dream debut for the kid

He is going to fuck the tribe up come Sunday

6/9/2010 8:21:40 AM

just caught highlights on youtube.

that movement is disgusting.

6/9/2010 8:49:17 AM

^^^

6/9/2010 8:54:50 AM

i'll put the over/under on him becoming a yankee at 6 years

6/9/2010 8:55:14 AM

i'll put the over/under on him blowing his arm out at 1.5 seasons.

6/9/2010 9:14:26 AM

his slurve was disgusting...it dropped off a cliff

6/9/2010 9:18:08 AM

He's definitely nasty, but I don't think he'll maintain this kind of stuff for more than a couple of years.

6/9/2010 9:41:31 AM

nevermind
