Johnny come lately, the new kid in town. Everybody loves you, so don’t let them down. -The Eagles
Public Service Announcement: Ok, here we go! What can I possibly write about this kid that hasn’t already been written. From Fort Myers to Tempe, we’re already smitten. Yes baseball fans, the love buf has done bitten. According to the pundits, this kid is Nolan Ryan, Bob Gibson and Sidd Finch all rolled into one. If today’s Spring Training debut against the Tigers at Space Coast Stadium is any indication, the pundits just might be right. Tom Seaver once said, “My job isn’t to strike guys out, its to get them out, sometimes by striking them out.” That was Stephen Strassburg today in a nutshell.
Today, Strasburg threw 27 pitches. He threw 15 of them for strikes. In the first inning, he threw all of them over 96 MPH. Yowza! In the first inning, he also retired the Tigers in order. Down goes Jackson! Down goes Thomas! Down goes Ordonez! In the second, it was more of the same. Only different. In the second, he pasted ‘dose pathetic palookas with a powerful, paralyzing, perfect, pachydermous, percussion pitch. In the second, Strasburg threw two 81-mph curveballs to Miguel Cabrera before striking him out with the Steve Urkel special. Struck him out with the cheese. The 98-mph cheese. Miggy didn’t stand a chance. I don’t think anybody’s gonna stand a chance against this kid.
