I will certainly be watching...

[seattlejazzfan]

Will you?

 

[YB85]

Who's showing it? I thought for sure ESPN would be but I guess they don't want to go head to head with that thing that ABC is showing.

This will be the most fans for a Pirates game since Bonds played there. This will be the most fans for a Nationals game, period.

It's on the MLB network at 5:00.

I remember hearing the Nationals wanted to take their time bringing him along. Two months later here we are. However, if I were not working I would be watcing to see if he lives up to the Lebron (for MLB) level hype

Even more breaking news, washington has a baseball team!

 

[Boondocksaint27]

Washington hasn't been playing too badly this season, they were even over .500 for a while. Given a few minor changes they may give a few teams some heartache come the 2nd half of the season

If they haven't yet, they should. Damn.

Not being a MLB fan, what's the big deal?

Not being a MLB fan, what's the big deal?

11 Ks (no walks) through 6 innings and still throwing 100 mph heat. Pretty decent K/BB ratio for his MLB debut.

 

[calijazz]

14 K's through 7 and retired 10 straight batters. Wow.

 

[Darkwing Duck]

8 of the last 9 outs he got were strikeouts.

Impressive, even if it is the Pirates.

 

[YB85]

Wow. The curveball is just as good as his fastball.

Struck out the side in both the 6th and 7th. Reached his pitch count in the 7th. So, the final tally...7 IP, 14 Ks, 0 BB, 4 Hits allowed, 2 ER

 

[seattlejazzfan]

Wow. The curveball is just as good as his fastball.

The curve is sick. Even with the ridiculous fastball, I think guys were praying he stayed away from the curve.

 

[Boondocksaint27]

Strikeouts are facist. Throw some groundballs - Crash Davis

Pittsburgh is like a AA team though, i'd like to see him go against the Yankees
