Strasburg

WTF. I managed to watch his 4th inning where he got into trouble. Had some issues with his command that inning, still though, his stuff is insane. I'm not sure insane really captures how fucking talented this guy is. The fastball is just...well...god its not fair. Upper 90's with movement! Fucking sharp movement! Not to mention triple digits when he feels like it. And then the curve, everyone was saying it was a plus pitch but holy shit it looked better than that to me. Remember when Kerry Wood was fucking awesome and threw that curve that looked like a fuckin 80 mph frisby? That's what Strasburg's curve reminds me of, just unworldy/unnatural movement. And if that weren't enough his changeup. Fucking high 80's-low 90's with, wait for it, disgusting movement. I am just blown away by the guy. Health permitting, he will be the best pitcher in mlb, and I'm not sure it will be particularly close. And not just down the line, shit he may not win the cy young this year but I wouldn't be surprised if he proves to be amongst the best from june on in the NL.
