Buster_ESPNStrasburg first pitcher EVER to strike out as many as 14 in a zero-walk debut. Incredible.
― Andy K, Wednesday, 9 June 2010 01:31 (sixteen years ago)
The top of the seventh inning of this was probably the most exciting baseball moment I've ever seen live. So much fun.
Pirates are still the Pirates, but seriously, wow. Dude did not disappoint (except when he didn't try to run out the infield hit in his first AB.)

I'm guessing 10 wins, 3.2-3.5 ERA, 150 strikeouts for 2010.

The 2:44 highlight reel on YouTube is something to see--wow. I just have this bad feeling, though. The first names that pop into my mind are Gooden, Blue, and Kerry Wood. For all of them, the window of dominance was from 5-8 years, with decline setting in within a year or two. And then I think about Clemens as the obvious counter. He fits the pattern too, though, if you treat his arrival in Toronto as the start of a second and, um, different phase of his career. (And no, I don't want to veer off in that direction yet again.) At the other end of the spectrum, Ryan and Johnson both took a few years to get going. I know that's a simplistic reduction; Seaver was a hard thrower/big-strikeout-pitcher who arrived brilliantly and lasted, and I'm sure there were many others. But I do think they'll need to thread the needle to keep Strasburg healthy and a big-draw strikeout pitcher at the same time.

which is ridiculous, total apples and oranges... ie, look at the pitch counts, there's no way SS would be left in a game over 80 pitches at this point in his career.
