Around the Bases Vol IV: Strasburg Dazzles in Debut - Gator - 06-09-2010 It’s not very often that the reality lives up to the hype. In fact, in sports, it’s usually the opposite. Things are usually hyped to death, then the event is a major letdown. But last night in our great capitol we witnessed actual greatness. The event not only lived up to the hype but actually somehow surpassed it. After what seemed like an entire season of waiting, we finally got to see Stephen Strasburg pitch his first game for the Washington Nationals. Strasburg has spent the first third of this season tearing up the minor league for the Nationals’ affiliates. There, he amassed a very impressive, if not amazing set of stats: 7-2 in 11 starts with a 1.30 ERA, 65 strikeouts and 13 walks in 55 1/3 innings. At one point, he only gave up 4 hits to 59 batters. That’s pure dominance. Read more at: Around the Bases Vol IV: Strasburg Dazzles in Debut http://www.tmrzoo.com/?p=12087 Enjoy! Gator
