Re: Strasburg Mania reaches towards insanity

These Strasburg prices will be going nuts. The best deal are the game used dirt pieces as the game used balls are $500+

$455 on a signed ball during a minor league game in April? Why?

I gave Andrew Lang (FOR FREE) a signed ball with holo dating to his 1st appearance at Nats Park last year after he finally signed. It also had a small faint coffee stain compliments of Stan Kasten's nervous hands.

ps - Can I get that ball back? j/k

Didn't I give you a Manny Ramirez bat for free?

that will probably be next a musuem dedicated just to him.

Oh, I guess you didn't hear? The Strasburg museum will be opening up next to the Lastings Milledge museum

I don't think he will be keeping it as I would guess it will be heading towards some museum.

game used baseball pitched in the 2nd inning already at over 5 grand.

What would his jersey from last night's game go for? Obviously totally hypothetical since I am postive he will keep it. Any guesses.

I couldn't believe that DY's home run ball was thrown back.

Must've been a Wrigley Field bleacher drunk who was so wasted he thought he was back in Chicago.

The mix of his fastball (98-101mph) change (78-81mph) and a curve that is unhittable, when he locates it well, had the Pirates off balance all night.

Did the Nats Park gun show 78-81 on the change? I've heard from multiple sources inc MLB broadcast that it was around 90 (which is obviously quick but still a change of pace).

Re: Strasburg Mania reaches towards insanity

I was lucky enough to get to the game last night. Strasburg was amazing. He fell behind a number of hitters in the first and second but then he really buckled down and struck out (I think) six in a row. The mix of his fastball (98-101mph) change (78-81mph) and a curve that is unhittable, when he locates it well, had the Pirates off balance all night. He finished the game striking out eight of the last ten and struck out the side on eleven pitches.

It is the Pirates so I certainly do not expect the same results every time out but there is no doubt he is the real deal. Regardless of the hype, for a MLB debut it was great. Below is a pic of the first pitch- not the best quality as I took it with my cell phone.
