- Like to see Strasburg come back out for the seventh. There’s a difference between being cautious and being over-protective, and he’d only thrown an easy 81 pitches. He could tear his elbow on the next pitch and I’d still defend this decision.
- Boy do I hope he doesn’t tear his elbow on the next pitch.
- He did not.
- I didn’t write anything during that inning because I just had to sit back and watch. Garrett Jones: seven-pitch strikeout. Delwyn Young: three-pich strikeout. Andy LaRoche: three-pitch strikeout. Five swinging strikes. Willie Harris is on to pinch-hit for Strasburg in the bottom half, meaning Strasburg’s day is done, but this was a night for the ages. Strasburg threw 94 pitches. 65 of them were strikes. 18 of them were swinging strikes. He had 14 strikeouts and zero walks. And his last pitch was 99 miles per hour. They should just hand Strasburg the Cy Young because of this start alone.
- Stephen Strasburg and Jason Heyward are perhaps the two most hyped young players the game has ever seen. They have exceeded the hype.
