Stephen Strasburg on the mound for Nationals (09/06)

Djstucky · 09-06-11, 12:42 AM

Taking my chances with the Dodgers bats getting hot and hammering the tt. I think strasburg struggles a bit but gets left in regardless...I expct a few walks meaning men on base when the Dodgers go yard.

LLXC · 09-06-11, 01:26 AM

I believe Strasburg is going to be on an extreme pitch count (60?).

Bcatswin · 09-06-11, 01:39 AM

strasburg complete game

neverstoppers23 · 09-06-11, 02:34 AM

theres no way the nats would bring him back an inning to soon before he was ready, he had his ups and downs in the minors working stuff out, but his last start in triple a was great, he had a ll of his stuff working for him, his speed, location, the guy probably is on a pitch count which might limit him back but i say he goes 5-6 innings. Strong innings around 8-10 strike outs.

il take the kid , lad back in there rutt

jjgold · 09-06-11, 05:17 AM

I wonder how he will look

Anyone get any reports of his arm speed in practice?

Tech N9ne · 09-06-11, 06:42 AM

I looked at the line I was shocked nats are -151

Rule of thumb always fade a pitcher coming off the DL

Will probably be on a low pitch count but will get hammered anyway. Possible big play on dodgers. The back tag is too good to pass up

the dawn of a new era 2.0

this is what he was doing before he got his new bionic cyborg arm

jjgold · 09-06-11, 07:30 AM

Middle 90's.

I think Matt Kemp will be the only one getting good hits off of him.

Glitch · 09-06-11, 03:53 PM

yeeeeeeaaaaaah

lakerboy · 09-06-11, 03:54 PM

I wouldnt touch this game.

70kgman · 09-06-11, 03:58 PM

Under 7.5. Probably will get rained out though.

mid 90s? his fastball has touched 98 in the minors from what ESPN said. Tommy John surgery is such a technical procedure now, he is probably in better shape, and stronger then he has ever been in his life.

iifold · 09-06-11, 04:18 PM

50-60 pitches... 3 innings... barely a factor...

50-60 pitches? I was thinking more of the lines of 80.

Just checked and he threw 70 pitches in his last minor league start that I could find.

This is the best thing I've read about where he's at

http://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/nationals-journal/post/what-to-expect-from-stephen-strasburg/2011/09/06/gIQA7GTn5J_blog.html

keep in mind that the game might get postponed....and if they play he might get scratched.

And I'll agree with lakerboy....good luck if you play this but you're crazy if you do

If thats the case bet LAD action

MasterEOD · 09-06-11, 05:02 PM

best bet as to what i can see is "no score" first inning. Straus will be out to prove himself and Tilly is a lefty who has great numbers the last five games...besides pitching from the left will throw the batting order off a little and this way the rain plays no factor in the end.

bigjah15 · 09-06-11, 05:11 PM

nats 1st 5inning is the play

this is wise. nobody knows how its gonna go...although nats bats have been pretty hot lately.

i put 5 bucks and 6 points on my boy S.S. and im just gonna watch this one as a fan.

(he obviously wont pitch a complete game, i just thumbs uped that post because i liked it.)

MasterEOD · 09-06-11, 07:17 PM

1st inning winner...barely though...still a winner

Bcatswin · 09-06-11, 08:11 PM

Well?

JMobile · 09-06-11, 08:11 PM

Well, it looks like the Dodgers are back in business. Strasburg will get a No Decision.

still goin 3-3

70kgman · 09-06-11, 08:17 PM

I expected them to leave in Strasburg for more than 50 pitches. Then they put in a minor league pitcher making his MLB debut with a 3-0 lead and he gets shelled, he has given up a hit or walk to every batter he has faced so far. Ugh, killed the under which was looking pretty good.

Glitch · 09-06-11, 08:24 PM

at least my boy pitched a nice outing. shame to not get a win.

WvGambler · 09-06-11, 08:27 PM

5 innings on only 56 pitches. Damn, kids electric.

Don't tell that to Starfire.. He thinks Strasburg is overrated.

gauchojake · 09-06-11, 08:42 PM

all this shittty weather is having an adverse effect on my wagering enjoyment

JMobile · 09-07-11, 01:57 AM

Unreal, the Nats lost.

EmpireMaker · 09-07-11, 02:44 AM

he pitched well and then the manager tried to win the game with the Syracuse Chiefs
