fathom Posted June 9, 2010 Share Posted June 9, 2010 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! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jordan4life_2007 Posted June 9, 2010 Author Share Posted June 9, 2010 QUOTE (Cowch @ Jun 8, 2010 -> 07:57 PM) Granted he was facing a team that strikes out a lot, this was just ridiculous. 14 Ks in his debut? WTF! Luckily he's on a team that I don't hate. Also, for the game of baseball, I hope he doesn't end up like Mark Prior. Only thing that would be better than us having him would be him in the NL central. The NL east is going to be sick very soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jordan4life_2007 Posted June 9, 2010 Author Share Posted June 9, 2010 Wherever you are Tru, this is what I meant when I said I feel sorry for you that you have no interest in baseball outside of the Sox. You are missing out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reddy Posted June 9, 2010 Share Posted June 9, 2010 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.

Jordan4life_2007 Posted June 9, 2010 Author Share Posted June 9, 2010 The Nationals really need to consider Oswalt. Strasburg, Oswalt, hell, even Hernandez as a #3 would be devastating in the NL. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Balta1701 Posted June 9, 2010 Share Posted June 9, 2010 QUOTE (Jordan4life @ Jun 8, 2010 -> 07:41 PM) We missed out on two months of this guy for service time bulls***. Actually, the contract they negotiated (and that he signed) limits him to throwing no more than 100 innings in the big leagues this year. I assume that means Boras and Stras wanted to protect his arm early also. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RockRaines Posted June 9, 2010 Share Posted June 9, 2010 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. Edited June 9, 2010 by RockRaines Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
