June 23, 201015 yr QUOTE (kev211 @ Jun 23, 2010 -> 01:48 AM) Merry Strasmas it's the holiday that comes once every 5 days. My Strasburg player tee was finally delivered to me yesterday.
June 23, 201015 yr Author QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jun 23, 2010 -> 04:34 PM) KC has 5 hits off of him. They've gotten some real nice hacks off him. Jose Guillen is quietly having a pretty good season.
June 23, 201015 yr Author I'm as big as Strasburg fan as one can be who doesn't give a s*** about the Nationals, but the individual press conferences after every start is getting pretty f***ing pathetic now.
June 25, 201015 yr QUOTE (Leonard Zelig @ Jun 25, 2010 -> 04:48 PM) Will this guy be an All-Star this year? No.
June 25, 201015 yr Author QUOTE (Leonard Zelig @ Jun 25, 2010 -> 03:48 PM) Will this guy be an All-Star this year? No way. Not with guys like Halladay, Lincecum, Cain, Jimenez, Johnson, Kershaw, Gallardo, Hanson, Hamels, Latos, Oswalt, Haren, Carpenter and Wainwright all much more deserving.
June 29, 201015 yr Author Nyjer Morgan makes Scott Podsednik look like Chase Utley when it comes to baserunning. The Nationals were playing much better BEFORE Strasburg was called up. They've gone back to being the Nationals ever since.
June 29, 201015 yr QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jun 23, 2010 -> 05:29 PM) At what point can Strasburg start complaining about lack of run support? I say now. In his last 3 starts, he's gotten 1 run of support. The Nats are also batting something like .180 in his starts. (stat I saw watching MLB Network tonight.)
July 29, 201015 yr It was mentioned in the MLB Catch-All, but we can bump this with Strasburg going on the DL. What wasn't mentioned in the Catch-All is that Don Cooper thinks he is going to be prone to injuries. He mentioned the shoulder too, and used the names Kerry Wood and Mark Prior.
August 6, 201015 yr Mark Prior Steven Strasburg threw a simulated game with no issues and is scheduled for a return on Tuesday.
August 24, 201015 yr QUOTE (Steve9347 @ Aug 23, 2010 -> 07:54 PM) Mark Prior 2.0 That would be a shame.
August 24, 201015 yr QUOTE (Brian @ Aug 23, 2010 -> 08:01 PM) That would be a shame. But not a surprise to a lot of baseball people. Could have called it before he even pitched one major league game and not even just for the sake of being the pessimist.
August 24, 201015 yr Its crazy how he could pitch like that all throughout HS, College, and a little bit of minor's, but a few months in the big leagues and we'd on the DL twice already? Either it's all catching up to him at the worst time, or it's just such a super mental and stressful thing he's doing now pitching in the bigs and he blows it out... Maybe it's both Sad either way. Maybe kids will be less and less likely to rock the inverted W (which I still think should just be called the M) as they play ball through their youth... Edited August 24, 201015 yr by Cali

Innings pitched: 2007: 37 2008: 108 (with a couple month gap between college and fall ball) 2009: 128 (with a couple month gap between college and fall ball) 2010: 123, between AA, AAA, and a good number in the majors.
August 24, 201015 yr Rob Dibble is talking all kinds of s*** that Strasburg needs to man up. Dibble says all this despite missing a whole season due to injury, only lasting 7 seasons, never starting a game, and never pitching more than 99 innings in a single season, which Strasburg has already passed.

If the Nats were in a pennant race I might think that he had a point...but hurting yourself to keep your team 19 games below .500 isn't exactly something that I'd call a sound decision for anyone.
August 24, 201015 yr http://joeposnanski.si.com/2010/08/24/all-...liar/?eref=sihp good article from SI about how pitchers getting hurt seems to be the rule rather than the exception. Nothing really new or groundbreaking, but a lot of names and some stats in one place.
