  I used to like him too back when the playoffs were on NBC and I miss Jim Kaat on YES telecasts...

  I didn't know that.
  
  Warren Spahn won his first game in 1946 when he was almost 25 (he turned that age April 23).
  
  He ended up with 363 wins.

  14 Ks through 7....yeah I'd say he's going to be OK.
• Non

  

  that's about six or seven in a row
• wes_mantooth

  

  Also doesn't hurt that he goes against the pirates and tribe first

  While that helps, his stuff is sick, hopefully this guy is around for a long time because he is going to be fun to watch. He has 4 pitches that he can go to to strike a guy out, thats unreal.

  that's it
  
  took him out after seven
  
  14 Ks

  they should've let him start the 8th and walk off the mound to the crowd

  Hard to say someone is legit after their first professional game against the Pirates, but Strasburg in legit.
  
  
  14 k's is sick!

  Against Pittsburgh. Lets sign him up for the hall of fame right now.

  Pretty sure I never said he would get 14 against the reds, but since you are trying to compare the reds and pirates you should probably know the reds are one of the league leaders in Ks.
• CinciX12

  

  I know you didn't say that, and I know the Reds do get a lot of K's, but our offense is definitely better than what Pittsburgh has.

  Yes, but good pitching is good pitching. Kid is nasty. Has any other pitcher struck out 14 Pirates in 7 innings this year? Im sure they have faced some guys that you would consider great and they havent done that....

  I was hoping that they yanked him after the 1st K in the 7th. Then after the 2nd. Should have let him come out to a standing O and not between innings.

  Upon further review... Strasburg is good
