Strasburg Ks two in the first. He'll be in the major league lead again in no time at all.

2. Joey B. has ignited his October #Natitude Posted: June 20, 2012 at 07:20 PM (#4162288)

Phenom drives one in!

3. Dan Posted: June 20, 2012 at 07:24 PM (#4162290)

Archer looks as underwhelming as I expected.

4. McCoy Posted: June 20, 2012 at 07:25 PM (#4162292)

He doesn't look any better live.

5. Joey B. has ignited his October #Natitude Posted: June 20, 2012 at 07:29 PM (#4162297)

The losing streak ends tonight.

6. Dan Posted: June 20, 2012 at 07:29 PM (#4162299)

I'm guessing Archer doesn't make it out of the third inning tonight.

7. McCoy Posted: June 20, 2012 at 07:38 PM (#4162305)

There goes the no hitter

8. McCoy Posted: June 20, 2012 at 07:40 PM (#4162308)

On pace for an 18 strikeout game and 4.5 runs.

9. Joey B. has ignited his October #Natitude Posted: June 20, 2012 at 07:41 PM (#4162310)

As soon as Strasburg can harness his control a little better he'll be the best pitcher in baseball, but he's not there yet. That one was right over the very middle of the plate.

10. McCoy Posted: June 20, 2012 at 07:47 PM (#4162322)

Well, they still have options on him.

11. Dan Posted: June 20, 2012 at 07:56 PM (#4162335)

As soon as Strasburg can harness his control a little better he'll be the best pitcher in baseball, but he's not there yet. That one was right over the very middle of the plate.

To be fair, it was Jose Molina. It's not like throwing the ball down the middle will burn you all that often against him.

12. Joey B. has ignited his October #Natitude Posted: June 20, 2012 at 08:03 PM (#4162345)

Beyond just that at bat though, he misses his spot quite a bit and ends up throwing too many pitches.

Once he's able to hit the spot almost all the time, he's going to be darn near unhittable.

13. Joey B. has ignited his October #Natitude Posted: June 20, 2012 at 08:35 PM (#4162379)

Phew!

14. Joey B. has ignited his October #Natitude Posted: June 20, 2012 at 08:45 PM (#4162389)

Back leading the majors once again.

15. Dan Posted: June 20, 2012 at 08:55 PM (#4162396)

Archer settled in much better than I thought he would after how shitty he looked in that first inning.

16. Joey B. has ignited his October #Natitude Posted: June 20, 2012 at 08:57 PM (#4162398)

Our offense continues sucking, with Zimmerman leading the way in suckitude.

17. Joey B. has ignited his October #Natitude Posted: June 20, 2012 at 09:02 PM (#4162402)

Make that 10 Ks for the kids.

18. Joey B. has ignited his October #Natitude Posted: June 20, 2012 at 09:20 PM (#4162424)

OK, just one more inning...

19. Joey B. has ignited his October #Natitude Posted: June 20, 2012 at 09:26 PM (#4162428)

You don't suppose that Perapta would... naaaah.

20. Joey B. has ignited his October #Natitude Posted: June 20, 2012 at 09:41 PM (#4162441)

BANG, ZOOM, it's a losing streak ending Curly W in the books! Fire up the sub horn, and then shove it up Joe Maddon's ass!!!
