Washington Nationals: Stephen Strasburg Start Two Game Thread.

• What was the best part of Stephen Strasburg's first start? The 98mph fastball he threw by Detroit Tigers' first baseman Miguel Cabrera for a swinging strike three? Or the cruel full-count curve he dropped on frozen and fooled Detroit infielder Brent Glubach? Was it just the fact that he was finally on TV throwing in a "real" game? Or the fact that everyone who saw it came away impressed in spite of ridiculously high expectations? When will the 21-year-old '09 no. 1 overall pick's turns in the rotation stop being big events? Not yet. Start two of the Stephen Strasburg era takes place this afternoon at 1:05 pm EST live (on the radio if you're not in Viera, Florida), from Space Coast Stadium, the Nationals' spring home, where the Nats will welcome the St. Louis Cardinals, who throw 28-year-old right-hander Adam Wainwright for the first two or three innings of the Sunday afternoon Spring Training matinee...
• No Pujols today according to the Cards' official site...Boo.
BACKPAGE:
• Strasburg on Strasburg.
• Mr. National Himself. What?
BACKPAGE:
• Strasburg on Strasburg.
• Strasburg threw 27 pitches, 15 for strikes, had a hard time locating his fastball which was clocked at around 96-98mph, but had better luck with his breaking pitches in the second of 2.0 IP, over which the former SDSU Aztec starter induced three ground ball outs, allowed two singles and recorded two K's in a quick debut outing. Strasburg is reportedly scheduled for three innings pitched this time out. MLB.com's Bill Ladson wrote Saturday night, in an article entitled, "Anticipation high for Strasburg start", that Strasburg's future after tomorrow's start is uncertain, noting that Nationals' Skipper Jim Riggleman, "...indicated the Strasburg could make one more start before the Nationals decide to send him to Minor League camp or keep him in the big leagues."
• As impressive as Strasburg was in his first start, he told MLB.com's Bill Ladson in an interview conducted earlier this week for article entitled, "Strasburg discusses first start, future", that he wasn't completely satisfied with what he was able to accomplish on the mound in his debut:
"Strasburg:I had a lot of adrenaline going. I really wasn't able to execute pitches the way I wanted to. ... I'll keep going with I've been working on and I will be a lot more relaxed. ... I got my feet wet. I know what it feels like to go out there. I know what it's like to face guys I watched on TV growing up. I have that feeling now, so I just want to build on it."
In his first start of the 2009 season, Strasburg threw 5.2 innings against Bethune-Cookman, allowing 3 hits and 1 ER while striking out 11, walking 2, hitting one batter and throwing a wild pitch. In the second start of his Junior year at San Diego State University, the then-20-year-old starter gave up 5 hits and 2 ER in 6.2 IP over which he walked just 1 batter, while recording 16 K's. The next start it was one walk and 18 K's. There will undoubtedly be a fairly large crowd and a substantial pool of reporters, but Strasburg's second start isn't being broadcast on MASN, MLB.tv and the MLB Network, it'll be covered on radio, but that's it unless you're there to see it in person. Be interesting to see how a relaxed and focused Strasburg deals with the Cardinals' lineup...
• Mr. National Himself. What?
• According to reports earlier this week, it'll be Mr. National Himself Livan Hernandez making his first appearance of the Spring after Strasburg, as the 35-year-old right-hander seeks to earn himself a spot in the Nationals' starting rotation. Signed in late February, the veteran of 14 MLB seasons is coming off a (9-12) 2009 campaign which saw the soft-tossing former Marlin, Giant, Expo, D-Back, Twin, Rockie and Met walk 67 (3.0 BB/9) and strike out 102 (5.0 K/9) in 183.2 IP over which Hernandez posted a 5.44 ERA (76 ERA+, 4.44 FIP). Call the slowest pitch? I say 63 mph...
DC Starting Lineup:
- Nyjer Morgan - CF
- Adam Kennedy - 2B
- Ryan Zimmerman - 3B
- Adam Dunn - 1B
- Josh Willingham - LF
- Elijah Dukes - RF
- Mike Morse - DH
- Wil Nieves - C
- Alberto Gonzalez - SS

Stras’ 92mph, Livian’s 80mph fastball and his 65mph wiffle ball. Is it legal for Livian to just walk the ball in to Pudge?

Ah, Yadir...
Ted Lilly’s tackling dummy. In 2008, Molina was blocking home plate and Ted Lilly wanted to score. Lilly mowed him down and scored, didn’t even worry about his pitching arm and shoulder making contact. Nobody keeps Ted Lilly from scoring.

One of best signings the Cubs made...
and he’s the actual pitching ace of the team. He just let’s Zambrano have the title.
"Pinky, are you pondering what I'm pondering?"--The Brain
Was surprised for a minute about Zambrano trade talk...
Then thought it might be wise to sell as high as he is now…in case he starts/keeps struggling…

Well, last season was really bad season for Zambrano....
he says he’s ready to buckle down this year. And admittedly, he’s been backing up his talk this time. He stayed in Chicago during the off season, lost weight, worked on his off season training.
This spring he’s been re-working his pitching repetoire and voluntarily gave up his at-bats to Xavier Nady.
"Pinky, are you pondering what I'm pondering?"--The Brain
I didn't watch enough to see what was up with him last season...
Just seemed off all year. Yeah, ease up on the hitting and working on the arm is probably a good idea…I’d take him in the Nats’ rotation any day…but you can’t get by on attitude…

For fun, I bought a pack of Topps 2010Heritage style baseball cards the other day...
it included a Josh Bard Nationals card. Maybe, they knew something.
