Before the much anticipated ML-debut of Stephen Strasburg. He will take the hill June 8th for the Nationals, as they play host to the Pirates. So basically, he will still be pitching against a AAA team, even in his debut. Sorry, that was too easy to pass up.
He's putting up some sick numbers in the minors though: between AA and AAA, he's 6-2 with a 1.43 ERA and 60 K in 50.1 IP. He's only let up 28 hits and walked only 12. His numbers are nothing short of staggering, and I expect him to dominate in his debut, and possibly his next start (it's looking like the Indians). We'll see, I can care less about this guy, but I am anxious to see what all this hype is about. I doubt he'll put up Ubaldo Jiménez numbers right away, but we'll see.
Good luck Stephen.
