Email
Print• The fourth start of the year with Triple-A Syracuse, and ninth start overall this season for Stephen Strasburg, will be shown live on MASN tonight at 7:00 pm EST tonight. The Nats' '09 no.1 overall pick takes the mound as the Chiefs face the Toledo Mud Hens at home in Syracuse, NY's Alliance Bank Stadium. With the Nationals traveling to San Francisco where they'll start a series with the Giants tomorrow night, MASN's going live with what should be (if you believe in The Strasburg Plan) the next-to-last start in the minors before Stephen Strasburg makes his MLB debut...
WE WANT STRASBURG!!!!!!!!

I'll be watching in all likelihood on TV
No Charlie and Dave plus Strasburg commands my full attention and is friggin’ amazing to watch. But I may pop in from time to time.
At this point, I expect Strasburg to shutout AAA hitters and I am as interested to see what else Syracuse can do to provide some hope. Mostly, I’m hoping that I get to see some of the guys in their bullpen not named Ron Villone.
Ian Desmond...because the future starts now for the Washington Nationals.
MOAR Vill0.00ne!!

The Injury Expert put a scare in me momentarily today:
And this isn’t taking a shot at Mr. Carroll, who’s humored my dumb questions for two interview in the last two years:
“Hearing unconfirmed rumor of strasburg injury. I’m in car. Anyone hearing anything?”
but then:
“Just talked to Syracuse. Strasburgs is fine and starting. False rumor put out there. Again strasburgs fine, confirmed with team.

Yep.
That Guillen at bat was kind of the turning point. He steps out, Stras gets slightly perturbed and buzzes him inside. Guillen then looks away. Stras will benefit from a catcher a little less predictable, but that was a good lesson to learn. The double was legit. The RBI was kind of lucky. The out was kind of lucky. 2-2 is a fair score at this point, but Ivany is not exactly making himself look well.

I think they need to stretch him out to 90-100 pitches, whatever inning that’s in.
He pitched into the 7th last time out.
Last time was 90 pitches are 7 innings. He went 6.1 cause he hit 90 pitches. That’s the only thing about all this swing early stuff. Toledo’s going to get him for 7 and the last two he’ll be mad.

Will Strasburg debut in San Diego???
From Nats Journal:
8:20 p.m.: A quick 1-2-3 fifth inning (Strasburg’s first since the first), and it appears the Chiefs are going to lift him here after five innings. Pitching coach Greg Booker just motioned to the bullpen to get a right-hander up after the inning ended. Nothing is wrong with Strasburg — who appeared disappointed in the dugout when Booker told him he was done. Strasburg has only thrown 52 pitches (36 strikes), but the Nationals may be looking to shut him down early in his final minor league starts, in order to save some bullets for the majors.
A paper in San Diego sent me an article pleading with the Nats to start him in SD...

Ditto for me.
He’s handled the whole thing well, and at some point, the wishes of the player have to count to. You know that he would love to debut in San Diego in front of all his west coast folks. We won’t be going out there again all year. You don’t know if his turn will match up next year.

Ian Desmond...because the future starts now for the Washington Nationals.
I'm coming to check on things every now and then.
I’m watching it downstairs and popping up every now and then to follow the thread. Sounds like those were some professional at bats there. The guy was tiring and both Lambin and Bruntlett were able to foul off some pitches.
The games do matter to me. I’d like to see Syracuse make a run at the IL. It’s not necessarily indicative of our farm system in any way because most of the offense is on the backs of these veterans instead of prospects but you want some of the pitching prospects to get the experience.
I think the Carolina League Title run that Detwiler had helped save his year and propelled him to the success that got him to the majors last year.

Strasburg don't watch!
The big club doesn’t blow games open like this.
Ian Desmond...because the future starts now for the Washington Nationals.
Honestly at this point I'm almost more interested in the other starts down on the farm though.
Meyers (guy talked about in the Oswald trade) is pitching for Harrisburg.
Morris and Holder are going for Potomac and Hagerstown.
Ian Desmond...because the future starts now for the Washington Nationals.
Interesting start for Meyers.
6IP 2runs on 2 solo shots. 5K, 2BB, 3H against Bowie. They’re tied at 2-2. Espinosa is 1-3 with a solo HR. Marerro is 1-2 with a BB.

Haven't heard yet. Expos4 is listening to the broadcast.
I’m upstairs following the thread and checking in on some other minor league scores and key outings.
Meyers pitched well again for Harrisburg. Morris got knocked around pretty good. Holder has continued some solid work in the South Atlantic League. 6IP, 0ER, 1R, 4H, 1BB, 1K. I’m still concerned about that guy. You’ve got to be able to strike people out in the SALLY league if you’re a college grad pitching in that league with a lot of high school prospects.
Ian Desmond...because the future starts now for the Washington Nationals.
Just checked WaPo.
They say it’s not injury and they’re just limiting his pitches in his final starts to save some bullets for the majors.

He went 5 strong and gave up 2R, 1earned.
He got hit around some in both the 4th and the 5th. I don’t know if they are trying to spare his pscyhe, save some bullets for the Nats, or if there’s a greater issue.
Until Dave Shenin makes his post from WaPo, I’m going to be pretty skeptical. Outside chance the Nats could call him up to make a debut on the road against his home folks in San Diego on the 29th.

If Strausburg starts on the 29th at SD, would he still be in line to pitch June 4th vs. Reds? I have tickets, and want to know if I’m seeing Jee-sus or a lesser man.

Hmm. Crafty.
I can’t splurge for both days. I’m still wagering the 4th because they wouldn’t pitch him on both the 5th and the 10th and skip somebody’s turn would they?
Things still land right on schedule for 29th and 4th. Still waiting for one of these well paid journalists to publish something on the calculations for Super Two. I’m off to check Zuckerman.
Ian Desmond...because the future starts now for the Washington Nationals.
Check below.
Unless all the other players in his class have ridiculously abnormal service time, he is guaranteed to be free of super two eligibility by the time May 29 rolls around. Which puts him in line for the 4th and the 10th.

Actually, it'd be 29th, 3rd (in Houston) and 8th.
If he pitches on the 29th, he’d be in line to pitch again on June 3rd in Houston and then again on June 8th in DC. Doesn’t quite sound right.
No way they don't try to get him as many home starts as possible...

I'm not saying they'll do that...
But if they want him to pitch on the 29th, they’d have to put Livan in on short rest or call someone else up for the 3rd and rest him an extra day to get him on the 4tth.
YES!
Starting him the 29th would get around Super Two eligibility!

So that's not an issue
Meaning the only issue is that they want to make the money off him having his debut at home

Bergmann keeps it interesting...
…just glad he’s not doing it up in DC anymore. Things are interesting enough.

Are they gonna have him pitch two tonight?
Ian Desmond...because the future starts now for the Washington Nationals.
Should be pitching in the majors, give him a shot over Batista....

And Batista has been garbage. Exactly.

Batista showed why he is on the roster against the O's.
The man has a rubber arm and can eat innings. He pitched two innings one day and then pitched four the next after Olsen had to leave early with his injury. Batista is kind of like blowout insurance for the Nats. You need a guy like that to manage the prospects correctly.
Peralta’s a close and a short guy for the most part. He’s there to close for the Chiefs and serve as injury insurance if Capps goes down. You’d chain some people up and Peralta would come in that instance. I thought there was a chance they might bring Peralta up for a little while before Storen, but since they brought up Storen, it’s all good as is.
Ian Desmond...because the future starts now for the Washington Nationals.
Stras in SD
If Strasburg pitches in SD, what’s more likely: Pitching on 4 days rest, moving Olsen back or pitching on 5 days rest, pushing Lannan back (or skipping a start, again)? I already have tickets to the 29th, and was contemplating going back on the 30th. Maybe I should go ahead and get tickets anyways…

16 pitches so far, 11 strikes...
…plus, he has a badass photo on GameDay

Peralta gets Scram swinging on 3 pitches.
He’s looking pretty good as the next bullpen callup.

Robbie Weinhardt in for Rainwater to pitch...
…who the heck are these guys?

Heh, like the 3B Will Rhymes?
The whole lineup is pretty good.

Now Ryan Ketchner in for Weinhardt (injury? I'm following on GameDay now.)

Lambin to third on a ground out, one down.

Okay, I'll getting totally spurious junk in Gameday.
It said Lambin singled at first. The groundout is now changed to a flyout, with the runner moved back to second. I think the MiLB gameday hamsters aren’t ready for prime time, yet.

Three outs to get the win for Bergmann!

Peralta (perhaps) back out for the 9th.

Sizemore flies out to end it.
CHEER, CHEER, CHEER FOR THE CHIEFS!

Where do we get the song?
I think the only time I’ve heard it was when Charlie and Dave were talking about it on a broadcast when we first switched from the Clippers to the Chiefs.

In the end, if he stays healthy, will many be better than our own SS? I am starting not to think so….
