He did a good job of that the last couple of days.”So, what does Martinez think in a 60-game season, which, ostensibly, is a small sample size?After Blue Jays shortstop Bo Bichette doubled down the left-field line, Hudson struck out Cavan Biggio for the final out, as Washington would hold on for a 6-4 victory. Nine pitches, nine strikes, three strikeouts. In an incredible fashion, Robles fully extended to haul in the ball, robbing McGuire off an extra-base hit.Judging outcomes on small samples is equal parts fun and dangerous. 3 spot. Has he learned how to handle the heat better over the course of his career?“I think him and ‘Zuk talked about utilizing the changeup more and more fastballs,” Martinez said, “especially when he was ahead in the count.
Nationals pitcher Stephen Strasburg threw an "immaculate inning" against the Marlins in the fourth inning Wednesday, striking out the side on nine pitches.
Castro received the grousing. WASHINGTON -- Seven games are done, which means more than 10 percent of the season is in the books a week after it began.What has happened on the field the first week was at times ugly. For half a week, good. Stephen Strasburg pitched a gem Wednesday against the Miami Marlins. I tell the coaches all the time: we really got focus on the moment.Castro was slogging along. Some pitchers have the idea that a perfect inning consists of three pitches. Davey Martinez and Mike Rizzo both earlier in the week alluded to Kieboom having a groin problem which restricted his lateral movement. Strasburg's gem included the first immaculate inning of his career. So for me everything is off the fastball, and I just wanted to make a point going into the game that I was going to throw every pitch just like a fastball.”“As you get older you start caking it on more and more and that doesn’t really help me ... being fair-skinned out there and humidity, so I’ve tried to not use it this year and it’s seemed to help.”Strasburg said the changeup was something he focused as he worked between starts, and he felt like all of his pitches were sharp against the Fish.“He was utilizing his fastball to both sides of the plate, but his changeup was really good, and he threw some good curveballs, so when he can throw the ball where he wants, he’s nasty,” Martinez said after what ended up a 3-1 win.Strasburg generated 23 swinging strikes, got eight swinging strikes with his changeup, and six Ks on his changeup, and got 20 called strikes overall in the outing.“I think I’ve — to be honest since I’ve had Tommy John and as you get older you use Red Hot to kind of get hot and get it loose and I’ve kind of tried different things to not use it this year and I think it’s just really helped my body temperature,” he said.A big part of his success with the change, he explained, is throwing it like his other pitches.It was a humid night in the nation’s capital too last night, and Strasburg, who’s known to sweat through a jersey or two in that sort of weather, was able to go eight strong on 110 pitches?“I had to flip the script a little bit.” The key for him -- as a young hitter -- is to swing at strikes and not chase. “He’s been great. It was cited as the reason Cabrera remained in the field at third base and Kieboom worked as a designated hitter or, mostly, watched from the bench. Strasburg needed just nine pitches to strike out Garrett Cooper, Neil Walker and Starlin Castro in the fourth. Kieboom, working amid all his expectations, has taken off quickly. If you don't know what that means, Strasburg struck out the side on nine pitches, all nine of them strikes.
