“When you have a 98-mph sinker and it’s your third-best pitch, but your strongest suit is your control, then the broad outlines of the debate are settled.”
Stephen Strasburg’s Major League debut is tonight. It’s a sellout, but on ESPN at 7 ET.

Strasburg pitched 7 innings, 25 batters. Struck out 14 of them, walked none, gave up four hits and two runs. Left ahead 4-2.
He gave up a 2-run home run, then struck out 8 of 10 he faced after that.
Not a bad debut. He’s as good as the hype.
