VIERA, Fla. -- The future of the
Nationals made his first start in a Washington uniform Tuesday.
Before the game,
Stephen Strasburg was being laughed at by his teammates.
It seems that when they tried to relieve the tension he was feeling by talking to him, Strasburg had trouble getting any words out in response.
"We were all laughing,'' fellow Washington pitcher
Miguel Batista said after Strasburg's two innings of shutout baseball in his debut against Detroit. "He was sitting there, we were trying to calm him down, and he really couldn't say anything.''
