Another controversy with Ozzie and family brewing? http://www.chicagobreakingsports.com/2010/...-usf-bound.html

Excellent catch by CQ there, as the Bust Brothers barely avoided a collision.

QUOTE (justBLAZE @ Jun 9, 2010 -> 02:31 AM) When you're the GM and making plans for 2011, still trying to compete, is Beckham your starting 2B ? It matters what he does the rest of this season. As of right now, yes he is. If he goes the rest of the season though showing no signs of improving and no extra base ability, then no.

We have "shouldn't be in the majors" Beckham tonight. He's opening up so much, and literally has no prayer of hitting that slider.

Oh big deal Kotsay, Delwyn Young hit a 2 run homer off of Strasburg!

QUOTE (Big Hurtin @ Jun 9, 2010 -> 01:10 AM) Yeah, they were rolling out the software update for 3D. I think they just went and reset everybody remotely because all my boxes were turned on when I got home. So how do we get it back in focus, as it's not a clear picture.

QUOTE (RockRaines @ Jun 9, 2010 -> 02:12 AM) My thought as well after watching a bit more (im a nerd and recorded it). I still think that slurve is going to shred his elbow. The control he shows on his fastballs is ridiculous. He commands really 3 different fastballs and I saw at least 3 different curves. Yes, I recorded it as well. Watching it instead of the Sox game...sorry Hawk! I love Dibble cheering at the end of the top of the 7th.

QUOTE (RockRaines @ Jun 9, 2010 -> 02:08 AM) I still think he looks like Kerry Wood did when he came up. I thought he was the second coming as well. Hopefully Strasburg is a little more durable. Strasburg will be a hell of a lot more consistent though due to his control.

QUOTE (Jordan4life @ Jun 9, 2010 -> 01:04 AM) The Nationals really need to consider Oswalt. Strasburg, Oswalt, hell, even Hernandez as a #3 would be devastating in the NL. Livan could be a hell of a mentor for Strasburg.

That 89 mph change-up he has is unreal.

I'm so pumped to watch Strasburg face the Sox next weekend on TV.

QUOTE (Reddy @ Jun 9, 2010 -> 01:02 AM) this is history. straight up history. we're watching the debut of the best pitcher baseball's ever seen. i don't care if people think i'm just buying into overinflated hype, and yes this is the pirates, but barring injury, MLB watch the f*** out. AGREED!

Meant to say Gavin from the stretch, of course. Directv was updating something, and then it froze. Had to restart it, and my wife said tons of people said something similar.

QUOTE (Jordan4life @ Jun 9, 2010 -> 12:58 AM) greg would've argued the Nationals should've tried to win as many games as possible, regardless of draft position in 2008. Nationals should tank the rest of the year to get Rendon!

Watching his first strikeout against Milledge, Lastings missed that pitch by 18 inches.

Nice job by Gavin. Did anyone else have Directv issues today?

Just remember, there are some people on this site that still thinks the MLB draft doesn't matter.

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Jun 9, 2010 -> 01:46 AM) He's always been better winding up. I'm just glad he didn't face Santiago out of the stretch. Maybe it's something the Great Don Cooper should work with him on? He's about to get himself in a ton of trouble here. Whenever Gavin pitches from the Floyd, everything seems to go outside to righties.

Farmer was blasting Gavin in the top of the 2nd there, saying how poorly his pitch selection was out of the stretch.

He sucks, trade him for prospects now Washington!

Go Hudson!

QUOTE (Jordan4life @ Jun 9, 2010 -> 12:43 AM) God damn he's slow. That wasn't even close. He's no J. Ely!

QUOTE (Jordan4life @ Jun 9, 2010 -> 12:41 AM) We missed out on two months of this guy for service time bulls***. No kidding!

FYI, Ga Tech source tells me they don't expect Grimes to ever play college baseball.

QUOTE (iamshack @ Jun 8, 2010 -> 11:28 PM) 8.5 here in Vegas. Jeez, would have gone under.
