It was raining most of the weekend and recorded attendance was over 21,000 but most didn't stay long when the rain drops started.
This kid has been under the microscope and has performed at an admirable level for a 21 year old kid.
Cut him some slack.

Re: Strasburg Hype Over?
It is all ESPN east coast hype. He's not the only guy in the league at his age who can hit a 100 on the gun. Hope he has a good career, but no matter what he does it wont live up to what he was hyped up to be. Unless of course he gets 300 wins 3000 k's and wins a WS or two.

Never mind the ESPN poster boy...how about Cubs SS Starlin Castro? He's about 10-12 plate appearances short of qualifying for the batting title in the NL and he has a BA that would make him an instant title contender once those few trips to the plate are made up. He's a legit batting title and NL ROY hopeful.

I wasnt going to bring up Nef, out of fear of sounding like a rangers homer. Tanner Scheppers also hit 100 several times in the futures game. One of the reasons im not impressed with strassburg is because of those two guys. if neftali played for the yankees or redsox he would be plastered front and center on ESPN every night.
