I know it's the Pirates, but damn, 11 strikeouts in 6 innings is still pretty damn impressive for a first start rookie.

11 K's, wat.
I just wonder how long they'll leave him in. He's at what, 81 pitches through 6 now?
90 pitches they said is his limit for tonight
Lame. But now he's in line for the win.
Hopefully he'll be able to keep it and the bullpen holds on, 2 runs on 4 hits with 11 strikeouts would be a pretty good start to a major career if he was to end the night right now. Probably will face 1-2 more batters in the 7th unless he mows them down quickly
If he doesn't allow any baserunners they should let him finish the 7th.
Agreed. So pissed my friend got tickets to this game off the third base line 10 rows back and I couldn't go today because I got called into work.
In a sports bar in New York, and the place got louder for Strasburg than it did for Granderson. Not sure if that means hes so good, or the Os are so bad
I'd say both Ceph lol
This kid is insane. Better than the hype. 99 with movement? 85 knee buckling curve? jesus christ
14 fucking strikeouts in his first Major League start. JEEBBUSSSS
CARLOS PENA BABY!
I never see grand slams, fuck yes.
Fucking absurd. Zero fucking walks.
Guy next to me: Cashman should start clearing payroll for 2017.
Here comes Ty Clippard going for his 9th win of the year.
Ben Francisco's lack of defense is really costing the Phillies tonight. Good to see some offense though.
Francisco gave up 3 plays so far. Twice at the wall!
