Good point - they should have benched him since they weren't trying to win the game or anything.
I will certainly be watching...

Since I have been watching baseball, those are the four guys who when they pitched, the nation watched. And now Strasburg. There are others (Ryan, Unit, JR Richard, Nomo) who were "must see", but not like these guys. I can't wait to see Strasburg pitch again.

Same here. I was wondering if the MLB Network would show at least his next 2-3 starts or until he gets lit up for the first time. Bottom line is, whenever he pitches, there is a good chance something special is going to happen - and you don't want to miss that opportunity.

I just hope Heyward goes ahead and hits .400 against Strasburg over his career. 20 years or so?

Good pitching is the only thing keeping me watching baseball. When is the guy going to be on one of the major networks soon?

What? 2 perfect games, a third that should have been AND a no hitter by a guy with a sub 1 ERA and it's June? What else are you waiting for?

I don't know anything about television programming, but you'd think ESPN would figure out a way to get the Nationals for his next start.

John Smoltz said that even if Strasburg had been pitching against the Yankees the end result would have been the same

So you condone athletes that go half *** at something? The Marlins benched their star player for doing the same thing a fly ball. I know he was pitching off the hook, and pitchers aren't supposed to hit well, but come on. This is just pathetic. Even if his coaches told him not to run hard cause they didn't want him to get hurt, he still could have run a little harder.
