He does every week. Actually, It's the highlight (of the week) of Kay's show. and it must happen betwen 5 and 5:30 because it's the only time I listen. (and Francesa is so often either on a 14minute commercial break or talking about something completely stupid taht I switch over)

I suspect it's the paycheck. When the Mets man up and start paying him instead, I suspect he'll stop listening to Michael Kay except when Kay has him on the show for the playoffs after the Yankees have been eliminated and he doesn't know what else to do.

And the other thing you discover by watching him is that all of his pitches are strikes, the ones called balls are merely the ones the umps miss. Or at least that's the world according to Nats color man Rob Dibble.

You have to live here to know how accurate that comment is. For us, it means seeing the Mets in HD as the Nationals-Pirates game on MLB Network is blacked out so they have the SNY feed here.

Old George Steinbrenner would have been going nuts now, wanting to know why the Yankees didn't draft him. Who is that old guy with the gravelly voice who calls WFAN with WATPs involving the Yankees? I'm sure he'll call the Schmoozer tonight to propose a Teixeira-for-Strasburg deal.

| Frayed Knot Jun 08 2010 07:37 PM Re: Predictaburg |
|

Jerome from Manhattan -- and actually he won't propose a trade he'll just want to know if the Yanx will sign him in the off-season. Yanqui fans, you see, are unaware of minor technicalities like 6-year rules for FA eligibility since they think the only purpose of those minor teams is to find and provide the Bronx with players. When informed that Strasburg won't be a FA until after the 2017 season THEN he'll propose Teixeira as trade bait ... but only after the host turns down his offer of Nick Johnson.

Catching some of the highlights now. Granted, it was such notables as Neil Walker and the former Blastings, but Strasburg just made them look worse than the collegians he faced last year. That fastball's got some giddy-up, no?

THE Rob Dibble? The Wild Man Rob Dibble who averaged 4.5 BB per 9 IP during his career? I know he knows fastballs. But how does he know what a strike is, or should be? Sorry I missed the game. I hate it when work interferes with baseball. Later

| holychicken Jun 09 2010 06:53 AM Re: Predictaburg |

I just watched the highlights of this guy pitching. . . the amount of movement he was getting on that 101 mph fastball is scary.
|
| Frayed Knot Jun 09 2010 07:25 AM Re: Predictaburg |
|||
|
Dibble's just a homer-announcer-extraordinaire. It's not just Strasburg, all Washington pitchers are cruelly deprived of strikes by umpires. And they're not just missed calls, they're intentionally bad calls because the umps are specifically biased against the Nationals. And when the tracking-box thing backs him up he cites it as evidence, and when it doesn't back him up he just simply ignores it.

Wasn't thinking about Doc, actually. Something about the way there was the hype and the kid exceeded it, Pirates and all. The way he got stronger as the game went on. Seven K's to close out his last seven batters. If that hack Riggleman had left him in, I wonder if Tom's record of 10 would have been safe. It was beautiful, no matter how much dread he inspires in the practical long term.

| G-Fafif Jun 09 2010 07:39 AM Re: Predictaburg |

That was a curious editorial decision. Backpages of the Pest (IKE CREAM!) and Snoozeday (Mike And Ike) were Ike-intensive but kind of lame. Strasburg will only debut once. Davis will be awesome repeatedly (presumptuous nature of that statement notwithstanding).

| bmfc1 Jun 10 2010 10:13 AM Re: Predictaburg |

If the Nationals pitch him every 5th day, yes, the Mets will miss him July 1, 2, 3, and 4. But if the Nationals pitch him every 5th day, as Boswell says they will, then he'll pitch on July 3.

You said the exact same thing twice here. I have tickets for the July 4th matinee in D.C. Hopefully he's not pitching and I can see the Mets wail on some crumbum instead.

Dude, your Gwreck research department produced that fact last month :) In all seriousness, I agree with Fman that it's probably better to miss him and just get the the crappier pitchers instead but part of me also wants the Mets to be the one to deliver his first whooping of the season.

Oh, screw that. By then, I want us to deliver his LAST whooping of the season, to the point where they realize he's not ready yet. I don't want him to be 5-0, 1.80 when he gets to us; I want 1-4, 6.80.

| Edgy DC Jun 11 2010 08:14 AM Re: Predictaburg |

Nah, I have no problem if he wants to shut down the rest of the division. Just don't think you can get away with the 100-MPH fastball and 96-MPH slider (really?) junk against the Mets.

On TBS right NOW!: The 'Burg retires the Tribe 1-2-3 to begin his first road start ever. Buck Martinez's hair, I swear, is a dead ringer for the George Washington wig the kid's Nat teammates stuck on his head after the game the other night.
