Strasburg vs. Hanson tonight with Heyward in the lineup. What a fantastic scene this will be.

Oh ****. Youkilis line drive hits Haren on the forearm, has to be escorted out of the game.

Well there goes that big acquisition.

Bad luck for the Halos there.

Re: July 26th - August 1st MLB Discussion

Among starters with at least 50 IP this season, Stephen Strasburg leads all of MLB in K/9 (12.42) and FIP (1.89).

With all due respect to Jason Heyward, is there any doubt Strasburg should be at the forefront of the NL Rookie Of The Year race? Those are absolutely staggering numbers for any pitcher, let alone a rookie.

Heyward, barring an injury will play through the end of the season. Isn't Strasburg expected to be shutdown at some point?

I think that if Heyward goes on a tear, and reaches the 25 HR/100 RBI mark he gets ROY.

Matt Joyce just broke up a no-hitter with a grand slam with two outs in the bottom of the sixth in Tampa!

I was lucky to have tuned in at the beginning of that inning, saw Joyce come up to bat, battle to a full count, and get a fastball in his wheelhouse only to go "just" right of the foul pole. Next pitch was pretty much the exact same location, and Joyce got all of it that time.

Dammit, I picked the Mariners/Hernandez in my Beat The Streak on ESPN.

Is that Strasburg game on ESPN or MLB Network?

Regrettably, no.

Re: July 26th - August 1st MLB Discussion

Im glad Strasburg game isn't on TV tonight getting sick of seeing him, while arguably the best pitcher in baseball Josh Johnson hasn't had a single nationally televised game.

Re: July 26th - August 1st MLB Discussion

Tonight we get Sabathia, Johnson, Lee, Wainwright, Hanson, and Strasburg.

Oof.

Re: July 26th - August 1st MLB Discussion

Wow...what a bummer. Strasburg scratched due to soreness in his pre-game warm ups.

Re: July 26th - August 1st MLB Discussion

Can't believe he's scratched!

Okay, they just announced that the reason he was scratched is that he couldn't get loose like he usually does. I'm sorry, but there is protecting a young pitcher and then there's just babying him. How else do they expect him to work through stuff if they scratch him because he can't get loose?
