• BEAT LINKS: 

• NATS INSIDER - Mark Zuckerman - "Nats to Stephen: Be our stopper"

"Fortunately, Stephen Strasburg is on the mound for tomorrow's series finale against the Indians. Unfortunately, he's being asked to stop a losing streak in only his second career start."

• MLB.com's Bill Ladson - "Strasburg impresses Hall of Famer Eckersley" | nationals.com: News

"'Obviously, he has great stuff and -- one at a time -- you could say he has the best gas, great hook, good changeup, but he has the command,' Eckersley said. 'He threw 94 pitches and had 14 strikeouts? How do you do that?'"

• MASNsports.com - Ben Goessling and Mike Rizzo - "Behind the scenes of Strasburg's development with the GM"

BG: Did you base the Strasburg plan on how other young pitchers had come up? How did you come up with it, and when?

Mike Rizzo: It was kind of a hybrid developmental plan. As you know, I've done this for quite a long time. I've never done it with as high a profile guy as this. Of course, I don't think anybody's done it with as high profile a guy as this guy. I had history to go back on, and I had the way I wanted to do it, which has been successful in the past...

• Washington Post - Nationals Journal - Adam Kilgore - "Stephen Strasburg's next step"

"Strasburg entered the majors with monumental expectations, and he promptly tore the ceiling off of his potential with his unforgettable, 14-strikeout debut. The Indians sold more than 8,000 tickets in three days following the announcement that Strasburg would pitch at Progressive Field on Sunday."

Strasburg

if strasburg is pitching a perfect game over 7 innings, and has only pitched, say 75-80 pitches, would they keep him in the whole game??

by Sam Crosbysucks Deutsch on Jun 13, 2010 11:52 AM EDT reply actions  

Yes

His pitch count is 90-100

The game is on a local over the air network, they usually get the exclusive over MASN. So if you ver the DC version of the CW network in HD it will have the game

pitch count

why do warmup pitches and pitches during practice not affect the pitch count? what is the difference? this whole 100 pitches a game/100 innings season thing is really pissing me off.

by Sam Crosbysucks Deutsch on Jun 13, 2010 12:14 PM EDT reply actions  

Basically the concern is maximum effort pitches when you're talking about starters.

He’s not trying to break the radar gun at 100mph+ on his warmup pitches and bullpen sessions. On the other hand, relief pitchers should be a bit more concerned if they have to warmup every day and never get any rest at all.

work everyday, between 3 jobs

this is the best one to be at for baseball. Job 1 is in a hospital, no chance of even catching a score update. Job 2 is on a ambulance where I might be able to catch the game on the radio but also might be tied up on calls and miss the whole thing. Job 3 (this one) is in dispatch where I have 6 huge flatscreens but the tv audio hasnt worked well in months since we upgraded our equipment

They're not but so great.

But it’s worth going to see them for Norris at catcher and Burgess in RF, two of our top position player prospects. AJ Morris was a high draft pick last year.

Potomac may be better in the 2nd half if they receive some reinforcements from Hagerstown as well. They certainly have fallen off from their Carolina League Championship a couple years back, but minors games are about both wins and player development.

Harrisburg’s offense is truly pathetic, though, and I feel for their fans.

Seems to be Nyjer’s been playing a little bit better defense lately. Really stinks that he got thrown out so early in game 1 of the series. It’s time for a red light for Mr. Morgan.

He should be.

His play has hurt the team, and I was more concerned when he seemed to kind of blow off the early criticism when he was obviously struggling and getting thrown out. If he craters in DC, that “Mr. Freeze off my twig” and the thrown glove stuff are going to come back to be his defining moments.

I just speak the truth.

Half the reason I wrote the gargantuan fanpost I just put up is that I want to see how the local editors respond. We’ve got DC United guys, Wizards and Skins people writing for the main DCHub (I think Patrick wrote his first thing on Oswalt today). Don’t have an opinion on things yet, but I kind of wanted to try to write something more in a Chris Needham style and see what happened.

Maddux was a strikeout pitcher when he was at his peak.

And thus he was the best pitcher of his time.

makes sense, dosent it?

The ball can’t fall in if the batter dosen’t hit it.

thats not to say some contact pitchers havent been succesful, only that strikeout pitchers have the potential to be better…

Last year when he came Nyjer probably was.

Dunn’s been more valuable this year because he hasn’t been a butcher at 1B the way he was in the OF. There defense has gone in completely opposite directions. Early on this year everybody was talking about how Dunn wasn’t hitting with power.

We are 6th in Batting Average and 10th in runs scored.

It does not occur to Riggles that over aggression may be part of the reason for the disparity.

Our bullpen is kind of two-faced.

Clipp, Storen, and Capps/Slaten sometimes are pretty good.
Walker, Batista, and sometimes Burnett are not as good.
But the bullpen has been much better than last year. You could be waiting awhile for the starters, though. Only Lannan is pitching below his career numbers and Livo is pitching well above his.

This is really old news.

This refers to his rehab before he got surgery. He made that rehab start, felt pain, and then got surgery that is supposed to keep him our for 6-10 weeks. Seems to me that Detwiler is still ahead of Marquis.
