Great outing from Stras tonight.

High heater at... 92

He's probably thrown off mentally because he doesn't have his #37 tonight.

Velocity way down. I wasn't concerned earlier in the season but this is troubling.

He never touches 97-98 like he used to.

And they're in Miami...not encouraging.

Strasburg's career is over. What a flash in a pan.... disaster.

FP said that he spoke to ex-MLBer Carl Pavano.....when Pavano pitched for the Yankees his nickname do to always being injured was "American Idle"

The maintenance man that set the thermostat to 78 in Marlins Park deserves a big bonus

It's not the temperature it's the strange #42 on his back that is affecting him tonight.

Looks like I have mxyzptlk on ignore. my bad dude.

He has never been close to as electric as he was during that first start vs the Pirates in 2010. Maybe it was the TJ surgery? Or just long term wear on his arm? Or aging?

He is still striking out over 14 per nine.

Even if his velocity is down, the reason he was anointed the best pitcher in baseball when he came up was his command and control of three plus pitches. Walks and meatballs weren't part of the deal. Will have the tools to be effective even if the velocity drop continues.

How long does it take to come back from TJ, if ever?

Or maybe it was the 2010 Pirates!

LaRoche batting cleanup really, really sucks.

Koehler is ready to blow-up

Strasburg's velocity is down again? Charlie and Dave haven't mentioned anything about it. That's often indicative of injury...

Anyway, time to chip away.

Hit that motherfreaker!

Dave's mentioned it a couple times that Strasburg's been sitting at 92.

Edit: What happened?

Just looked at Miami's lineup. Everyone not named Garrett Jones is hitting well for them. Why have they lost eight in a row?

mmzznnxx · « **Reply #174:** April 15, 2014, 08:25:41 PM »

Wonder what the chances are a Marlins batter the next inning snaps back with a "throw the ball over the plate" to Stras.
