Here's video of Stephen Strasburg's 11 strikeouts in seven innings in last night's 8-4 Nationals win over the Phillies. Go ahead, watch 'em all. Stras (7 IP, 7 H, 4 R, 0 BB, 11 K, 109 pitches-79 strikes) even joined in on the Nats 8 run, 11 hit, pummeling of the Phillies with a single and RBI of his own (video here).
Here's Stras on one of his only mistakes, to John Mayberry, in which he was guilty of scoreboard watching:
"Guys came up big again tonight. It makes it much easier. I think I made the mistake with Mayberry of looking at the scoreboard a little bit, pretty much just throwing a fastball down the middle and seeing how far he could hit it. And he hit it pretty far, so I've just got to do a better job of staying to the game plan and not really changing my approach depending on the score."
