(Up above, video of Stephen Strasburg -- video via @natsnq -- striking out the first batter of the game Friday night for the P-Nats.)
And so, the results are in from Stephen Strasburg's latest and greatest (second) rehab start tonight in Woodbridge. By all accounts, Strasburg dominated: 3.0 IP, 2 H, 0 R, 5 K, 33 pitches, 26 strikes. Nary a baseball left the infield; although he did give up a hit to a kid named Strausborger. Various accounts had him hitting 98, even 99 on Pfitzner Stadium radar gun. After a 1-2-3 third inning, Strasburg reportedly made his way to the bullpen to throw a bullpen session to fulfill his 50 pitch allotment for the evening. He was too damn good,.
So - see you in a few weeks in Washington, Stras? Time to gobble up tickets for Tuesday, September 6th at Nationals Park against the Dodgers?
buying tickets to that entire dodgers series now. can't risk missing Strasmas II.
