Harper's Debut

With phenom part 2 making his major league debut last night, the show seemed to be stolen by the phenom part 1, Steven Strasburg. Strasburg went 7 innings allowing one run, whether it was earned or not will be debated all year, and striking out 9. Also, he had a good day at the dish, with a double and almost a three run run homer that just stayed foul. Stras had superstar Matt Kemp of the Dodgers on the ropes and out matched all game with a ground out double play and a two strikeouts. Kemp however had the last laugh as he blasted a walk-off home run in the 10th. Bryce Harper had a pretty solid debut. With one hit, a double, and one RBI, a sac fly, and an almost outfield assist, Ramos had the ball knocked away by Dodger Jerry Hairston. Through out the game, Harper never seemed to let the moment get too big for him. In his first at bat, a ground to the pitcher, he booked it down the line and almost beat it out. His hair on fire type of play is refreshing to see, and he very well should live up to all the hype.
