What is everyone's oppinion on Strasburg? I am watching his debut right now and he's got some dirty stuff. I hope that he gets a chance to play on a winning team eventually. He really won't get the credit he deserves until then. He does have a bright future though.
nationals defense?
till they stop making errors like last night and throwing to wrong base on a fly ball he will continue to lose a few close games! he can't make the plays for them or strike every batter out! a damn good pitcher though!🙂

I here a great kid and I think he is going to be something special in the major leagues. His first outings were so good becasue no one had faced him yet now the hitters have figured him out. I think he will now adjust and be a dominant pitcher in the league for years to come.🙂
He had another solid game last night. 6 IP 1 run.
He is consistently making good players play and miss. He has played enough games now for the other teams' coaches to have "figured him out" - but he can still throw 6 innings for 1 run. Nobody is beating him up.
To do that after only 7 games or so is outstanding - he is the "real deal".

I live in the MD suburbs of DC so we get the Strasburg hype here continually.
For those of you that follow baseball, remember the first year of Felix Hernandez? They called him "King Felix" but his first year wasn't so good. So I certainly don't expect Strasburg to do a whole lot better this first year.
He's doing a good job but certainly not great. He's allowing way too many HR's and he's pitching too deep in counts. He needs to learn to be more Greg Maddux than Nolan Ryan, if he keeps doing the strikeouts he's likely to never pitch a complete game because of pitch count.

If his arm holds together, I think he will be the next great pitcher. His stuff is just sick. He throws just like any other young pitcher, misses too much trying to be perfect. Also big league hitters/ softball sized ball parks make it alot easier to hit home runs. Any idiot could hit 20 HR in Yankee stadium for god sake. ( just an example) Give him 3-4 yrs to figure the mental part of pitching out and he'll be fine.
