It’s not quite the rookie wall, but Cameron Selik may be hitting it. The 23-year-old flirted with perfection for one turn through the lineup plus two batters before giving up a walk. OK, no problem, right? Wrong. A double over the head of Eury Perez in center broke up both the no-hitter and the shutout, …

Believe the hype. It’s not often that I can say a rehab start isn’t overrated. Usually, they’re a disappointment. Not this time. This was everything anyone could have possibly hoped for, perhaps even more. In thirty-three pitches over three innings, Stephen Strasburg gave nine Myrtle Beach Pelicans batters a story to tell their children and …
