11 Ks (no walks) through 6 innings and still throwing 100 mph heat. Pretty decent K/BB ratio for his MLB debut.
I will certainly be watching...

8 of the last 9 outs he got were strikeouts.
Impressive, even if it is the Pirates.

Struck out the side in both the 6th and 7th. Reached his pitch count in the 7th. So, the final tally...7 IP, 14 Ks, 0 BB, 4 Hits allowed, 2 ER

The curve is sick. Even with the ridiculous fastball, I think guys were praying he stayed away from the curve.

Strikeouts are facist. Throw some groundballs - Crash Davis

15 teams in the NL and 10 of them strike out more than the Pirates...Sure, they don't score a lot of runs and they don't have a good batting average, but to strike that team out 14 times is incredible.
But who wouldn't want to see him against a team like the Yankees. That would be must see TV, for sure.
I told my brother about how good he looked and my brother asked if he threw a duce. I said "yeah, and that's what the Pirate hitters dropped when their knees buckled".

Yeah, when a guy who's been around as long as Adam Dunn has, is saying it's the best pitching performance he's ever seen, that is pretty impressive.

They guy should have been benched after jogging to first. He could have had a base hit. For as good as he did on the pitching end, what was he thinking running like it was a warm up?
