>Well, watching this kid Strasburg... Only one game so far, but he looks like the real thing. Great speed mixed up with superb stuff. If he doesn't throw himself out, he's going to really be something.

>On one hand, very impressive....14 Ks on such a low pitch count.....but on the other hand, c'mon, my dead gramma can beat the Pirates! (Even though Lincecum can only get a no-decision against them, haha)

Ok, you have a point. But man! You gotta see this guy throw. His stuff is evil. His fastball sets up everything else, and everything else sets up his fastball. His inhuman curve is about as unhittable as anything I've ever seen. And he has the air of an assassin. You could see in the last two innings he pitched that he wanted it real bad. He struck out the last 6 he faced. They guy is just flat out mean.

The batters looked completely lost and confused in those last two.

Got to mlb.com, hover over 'video' in the menu, and then click on "Watch MLB TV". Go to June 8th, find the Nationals/Pirates game and click on 'watch' under condensed game. It's the 6th and 7th innings you really want to look out for.
