Why would I take offense to that? I don't see the point you're trying to make. I'm asking if he was known to suffer this type of injury prior to coming to MLB?
Hope you can comprehend that.
And Betsmart, hey how are you. I hit a big parlay a few weeks ago, I made about 12k in one week. I lost half but hell 6k is better than nothing.
I just was wondering cause I always see you making comments that just make me scratch my head. you said "more importantly why was he good in the college and not in the majors" not why did he stay healthy in college and not in the majors. the kid has had less than 20 starts and in his limited playing time has shown flashes of brilliance with a sub 3 ERA and a 14 K game. to already determine him "not good" with barely any playing time is just a little out there. and change his pitching motion? ehhh why? his mechanics aren't the root of his injuries.
I see what you mean I meant to ask if he was good in college. And every thing I've read has pitching experts blaming his pitching mechanics on his recent injuries. And I don't know what comments you're talking about that I've made in the past. Don't even know how you keep track of who says who. Either way I'm not here to impress you or anybody but I gotta tell ya you're rubbing me the wrong way.
Betsmart, I bet straight but only sometimes. I have no luck with it.

This thread/post is way, way premature.
Strasburg is playing for a bottom feeder and they are simply being cautious w/ the future staff ace. I have no problem with that. If he stubs his toe their going to sit him out a week! THIS season means nothing to the future of the Nationals franchise. They have several young pitchers on their staff and w/ the addition of a few free agents they could easily be a .500+ team....and a few seasons away from contending in the division.
Being cautious w/ Strasburg right now is the right thing. He is far, far from a bust.....

Anybody else know of a rookie that threw 14K's in their first major league start? Chill out dudes, the kid is on the 15 day DL, and y'all are talking like he's finished.
This reminds me of the thread where everyone was dissing Big Papi, then he turns around and starts hitting HR's left and right, and then wins the HR derby.

stras=mark prior so far. of course we wont know for a few years but early on he is looking more and more like prior. same build, same mechanics, both #1 picks that were college studs. prior wouldnt pitch if he had a cough, or sore thoart he had no heart, u see stras asking to come out of the game? comon dude your a pitcher, what u do to your arm is not normal and you are going to have aches and pains suck it up pitch dont bitch.
Karl Spooner of the Dodgers in 54 pitched 2 complete game shutouts for the Dodgers in September. In 18 innings he struck out 27, 15 in the first game and gave up as I remember only 5 hits. It was the greatest start in Major League history. To make a long story short I don't think he won 15 games in his career.
Bob Feller in his first Major League Game sytruck out 17 he was 17 years old at the time. He was the only shooting star that lived up to his promise.
Lindy McDaniel & Bobo Holloman come to mind!

He struck out future Hall of Famers, Neil Walker, Garrett Jones, Rony Cedeno, and Jason Jarrillo in his debut, against a team that couldn't beat the Newark Bears of the Atlantic League, with a pitchers umpire that has a strike zone the size of a 18 wheel semi.
Next start he struck out future Hall of Famers Trevor Crowe, Luis Valbuena and a cast of others.
I'm impressed.
If, in his first two starts, he faces, say Texas, NYY, or even Toronto, he strikes out maybe 11 in those two games combined, and gives up anywhere between 7 and 10 runs.
