Washington Nationals: Stephen Strasburg's Spring Debut Thread.

Print• Stephen Strasburg Game Thread.
0-6 in games that don't count, coming off the second-straight 100-loss season and heading into a twenty-ten campaign with what they believe is the best (bound-to-finish-fourth-or-fifth-place) roster they've assembled since the move to the nation's capital in 2005, the Washington Nationals today turn to '09 no. 1 overall pick Stephen Strasburg, who fairly or not, is being looked to as some sort of savior in the nation's capital, though the team will go to great lengths to stress that that's not the case. Within the last twelve months, Strasburg's completed his Junior year at San Diego State University (with a (13-1) record and a 1.32 ERA in 15 starts and 109.0 IP over which he K'd 195 (16.1 K/9) and walked 19 (1.5 BB/9)), made his first NCAA Tournament appearance, (giving up a HR and 2 ER on 8 hits in a 5-1 loss to UVA in which he struck out 15), then headed out to Arizona where the 21-year-old, 6'4'', 220lb right-hander was (4-1) in 5 starts and 19.0 IP for the Phoenix Desert Dogs with 7 walks, 23 K's and 3 HR's allowed. Now this afternoon, Strasburg takes the mound for about two innings of work against the Detroit Tigers and their own 21-year-old right-hander Rick Porcello. Live from Viera, Florida's Space Coast Stadium at 1:05 pm EST this afternoon live on MASN, the MLB Network, and MLB.tv.
• Game Time: 1:05 pm EST. Detroit Tigers at Washington Nationals. Strasburg vs Porcello. Stephen Strasburg's Spring Debut...
• DC Starting Lineup: After The JUMP.
• DC Starting Lineup For Strasburg Day. (acc. to MLB.com's Bill Ladson via Twitter)
- Nyjer Morgan - CF
- Crisitan Guzman - SS
- Ryan Zimmerman - 3B
- Josh Willingham - LF
- Adam Kennedy - 2B
- Ian Desmond - RF**
- Chris Duncan - 1B
- Josh Whitesell - DH
- Wil "Blocker" Nieves - C
• Don't Forget Drew Storen.
The Nationals' 2nd '09 1st Round pick will reportedly make his third appearance of the Spring at some point this afternoon, and he'll be looking for his third scoreless frame. Six up and six down for Storen so far as the former Stanford Cardinal closer looks to pitch his way onto the Opening Day roster. Storen signed almost immediately after being drafted nine picks behind Strasburg, and was able to get started pitching in the Nationals' system last season, posting a (2-1) record with a 1.95 ERA and 11 saves in 28 games and 37.0 IP over which the 6'2'', 180lb Brownsburg, Indiana native recorded 49 K's (11.9 K/9), surrendered 8 BB, (1.9 BB/9) and gave up 2 HR's while holding opponents to a .162 BAA...

Strasburg
it really doesn’t matter how well he pitches this spring, does it? It’s exciting that’s he’s pitching today, but really, he’s destined for the minors in 2010, right?
what kind of spring performance would it take for Strasburg to make the rotation this season? I should be able to get this game on the radio, being in the Detroit market and all.
by Andrew Davidson on Mar 9, 2010 11:41 AM EST reply actions
don't think any performance this spring has him coming north
but today’s appearance is about the collective sanity of NatsTown. and to satisfy the hype from casual on-lookers and national media.

He's definitely going to start in the minors, but I'm thinking a late June/early July call up.
I hope it’s not much sooner than that… everybody wants to see the new toy, but they need to be thinking long-term.
JQ, i think the only long-term concern about Strasburg
is when his arbitration eligibility will kick in. he’s physically ready to pitch at the major league level. the exucse about “pitching every fifth day” is for the moswt part, hooey. he’ll be pitching every fifth day for a month leading up to the start of the season.
the only practical reason to have him pitch in the minor for a month is that it will be easier to control the number of innings he pitches to start with. you get him up herel, and Riggs is going to want him to throw 7 innings plus every time out. inthe minors, you can instruct those guys to limit his innings per start. he’ll need to be watched very closely this season not to pass the innings he threw last year by more than 20 or so innings over last season. after that, you get into a red-flag area for injury.

My personal guess on the matchup is...
…Strasburg will crank up a 100 mph fastball, Heyward will crank up that ridiculous bat speed and….
…the ball will just shatter, causing a fifteen minute umpire conferece.

I heard two innings with a 30-40 pitch count...
…but after a six pitch first, I wondered—-but it seems like he threw enough in the second that he is probably done. If he had done another six pitch inning, they might have let him go three, I would think.
he's done
there are others that need work too. if he needed more pitches he’d have finished in the pen.
