What's most impressive to me is, zero walks. How many power pitchers can go 7 innings with zero walks? To do that in your first MLB appearance, with the whole world watching -- WOW, what poise.

I would invite any of those who thought he wasn't worth $15 million last year to revisit that topic now. Add up how much he is meaning to the Nationals in ticket sales, TV ad revenues, and sales of things like Nationals jerseys with his name and number on the back. He's probably already approaching the breakeven point for the Nats.

He's going to be a Godsend to that franchise. I just hope he stays healthy, as opposed to so many phenoms who have gone before (Prior, Wood, Taylor, and a few others come to mind).
