Stephen Strasburg - Wow

Jun 09, 2010 00:34

That was, all things considered, the most impressive pitching performance I've ever witnessed in person (I saw Mike Mussina's near-perfect game on TV). I saw John Candelaria whiff 14 "Bash Bros" A's in 1988 in a complete game win at Yankees Stadium. Yes, that was a better lineup (the Pirates are just awful). But this was in a debut, and Strasburg whiffed 14 with no walks! Amazing.

Tonight, Washington DC was Baseball's Capitol. The ballpark was rocking, the energy amazing. And while some people left after Strasburg was lifted, most stayed. A great day that I will remember for a long time!
