Plate umpire Brian O'Nora was impressed by Strasburg's stuff, saying he's "the real deal."
Since 1900, only Johnny Cueto had more strikeouts before giving up his first walk than did Strasburg.

Strasburg had mound issues in his start yesterday, which "got him in a little funk," but he says that it's good for him to experience this now.

Craig Stammen gave up four runs in his first start at AAA Syracuse after being sent down to make room for Strasburg.
Adam Dunn's collision with Carlos Santana was hilarious (see .gif here).
Michael Morse knows and accepts that he's a bench player, though he would obviously like to be a regular.
