    Hello darkness, my old friend
    Anyone else watching? Retired 6 of the 7 he's faced (gave up a single) and has struck out 4 through the first two innings pitched.

    His control hasn't been amazing, but his velocity and movement has been fantastic.

    I have NO idea what you are talking about! We covered this in another thread today...... baseball sucks! But compare this if you will to something happening in the world of the NBA.

    Isn't he pitching against Pitt? If so, he's still in the minors.

    He's in the National League. He'll be pitching in the minors for a while.

    Yup. One bad pitch, but otherwise he's been sparkling. Living up to the hype.

    I remember when he gave up a minor league homer he was pissed, and then said after the game "they'll run into a fastball eventually".

    Wonder what happened after he gave up the dinger today?

    EDIT: I mean mentally, not the whole striking-out-5-of-the-next-7-batters.

    Bwahaha. 14 K's through 7 now. He has struck out the side the last 2 innings.



    And he is officially done for this game.

    Hello darkness, my old friend
    I fully understand why the Nats are doing this...the very very last thing you want to see is his arm to get injured and young pitchers are so fragile. But man, I really wish we could see him keep going. He looks unhittable right now.

    He threw 94 pitches. It's not like the stupid ass Joba rules that the Yankees used. But ya, more is better when it comes to him.
