Strasburg anticipation thread

[imb]

guys were gushing about wood and prior, especially prior, calling him the greatest pitcher in college history and a future hall of famer.

 

once batters understand that the only way to beat strasburg is to stretch him out, they will start stretching him out.

 

you should call these professional teams and offer them this groundbreaking advice "hey you know that guy with 8 unhittable pitches, well just start making lots of contact against him, yep just mail me the check or i have this paypal account hello hello hello?"

lol

 

That doesn't even make sense.

strasburg's miss percentage is like 45%, these hitters need to learn to swing the bats better i guess????

i have and they told me your mom already told them that

[Magnetic Curses]

so go ask her she's got all my money

[Magnetic Curses]

oh yeah, and when his elbow flies off just like lebron's title hopes you can give her a kiss and tell her that i was right all along.

let's go back to your mindblowing advice that hitters should try to make contact against his pitches, this is real good stuff

 

hey guys, try and score a couple of runs while you're at it thanks see ya next week

[Magnetic Curses]

i don't recall saying anything about "making contact", but there's no great way to actually beat him while he's on the mound. you could just look at everything and hope the umps aren't calling the corners like they didn't for prior, or you could just try to foul off as many pitches against him as you can, like hitters did against prior.

 

or you could look into his dreamy eyes and say "i do"

[Magnetic Curses]

but again, i probably just gleaned that from your mom

[imb]

what part of fouling off lots of pitches doesn't include making contact

 

this is good, real good

[imb]

"man this sucks i keep swinging and missing, jeez"

 

"here's my advice to you, i know he's leading the majors in miss percentage, but stay with me here. what if you tried, wait, pay attention, this is the important part, what if you just ... stopped missing with your swings?"

 

"oh my god it's full of stars"

[Magnetic Curses]

haha you're cute when you're mad

[Magnetic Curses]

what's the important part again?

[imb]

you should try to give totally obvious advice for other sports to

 

hmm, those triple doubles are good. i think players should get more of those *claps hands together and walks away*

[Magnetic Curses]

"hey mark, how's life going for you?"

 

"it sucks, click"

[Magnetic Curses]

now you're getting a little abstract

[Magnetic Curses]

"hey kerry, how's life?"

 

"i've had a hard year, dad."

[javy knows my name]

FIGHT FIGHT FIGHT

[imb]

i want some more advice for other parts of the game. we've established that hitters should try to hit the ball with the bat, that's good stuff.

 

what do you have for fielders. "hey you guys might want to catch the ball"

 

anything for pitchers? i guess that just gets circular though.

[Magnetic Curses]

he's really no match for me

 

he's all robin williams at this point

[imb]

you should put all this in a book. you could call it "baseball for 3 year olds" or "t-ball instructions"

[Magnetic Curses]

it's worse than a very special night at COMEDY SPORTZ

"Foreword by Erik316"

[Magnetic Curses]

okay, i have a guy who i think makes very obvious observations about sports

 

can i get a situation? oh, i hear gary coleman's funeral!

 

how about a place? i hear a timbuktu

 

now go!

[Magnetic Curses]

strasburg is bad in 5 years, that's all you need to know
