Stephen Strasburg is destroying the minor leagues

[I Are Baboon]

Five no hit innings for Double A Harrisburg last night.

Stephen Strasburg throws 5 no-hit innings in fourth start for the Harrisburg Senators - ESPN

So far this season:

3 wins, 0 losses, 17.1 IP, 7 H, 3 BB, 23 K, 1 ER, 0.52 ERA

Word is his next start will be in Triple A.

I was kinda surprised he started down there. He did well in spring training as well.

They put him in Double A because they wanted to work on some of his mechanics.

Buster Olney says he'll be in the majors by the end of May.

0 hits in 6 innings in his second Triple A start last night.

That's 12.1 IP, 1 H, 13K in two Triple A starts. Damn.

 

[tucker01]

Very nice.

I read this little tidbit at the Washington Post:

Four of his last five starts have been either one-hit or no-hit outings.

 

[tucker01]

That is crazy impressive.... no matter what level of ball you are playing.

Struggled a bit with control last night. and still a stud.

So did anyone watch that debut tonight? Ehhhh...does anyone else get the MLB Network?

Holy fuckin shit, dude. Strasburg was DYN-O-MITE! God damn, that breaking ball looks like it drops three feet!

Baseball rules.

He had 14 K's in his major league debut and set a team record. That is unheard of. I don't care that he did give up a hr. He was awesome. This dude may be for real. I had my doubts.

 

[tucker01]

God Damn. Very impressive outing... I can only imagine the stress and emotion he felt coming into that game.

It will be interesting to see how his season progress and batters get more chances to see his pitches.

But some nasty heat 101mph with some wicked movement = WOW

 

[I Are Baboon]

Dude struck out the last seven batters he faced. NO PITCHER DOES THAT.
