I've been rooting against the nats ever since they shut him down. Not saying they would have played better thus far with him (but most likely), but I just dont get it. Teams are not winning anything by looking like protectors of the youth, they look like pussies. I would hate to be strassburg right now. No matter how this postseason ends for the nats this year, I dont know how he can want to return or even play hard for the ppl in charge. You dont get many opportunities to win a World Series.

At the very least why wouldnt they sit him the first month of the year, and then unleash him.

This really bothers me for some reason. He needs to go pitch for Nolan Ryan and the Rangers.

Very easy to root against the Nats now. Shutting down their ace for an unknown future and Bryce Harper the Anna Kournikova of baseball.

haha i like it. I disliked harpers play early on but he grew on me. his hustle is great for the game. Same with trout. that is the brand of baseball that the youth needs to look up to and emulate, well trout more so than harper

Harper plays the game hard. Yeah a lot of people hate him, but I'm a fan of his. Well mostly because I'm an expos fan and they are now the nats. I would take his hard play over an outfielder that blows a huge bubble gum bubble while trying to catch a fly ball while trotting then starts to turn on the jets and misses the fly ball and costs his team the game. Yeah I'm talking about Adam Jones.

Not sure how you can say Trout more so than Harper. Harper plays his ass off every game, sprints to first everytime. The guy has turned more singles into doubles in 1 season than i have seen most players do their entire career. Also has a cannon arm in the outfield

Trout does not wear gold shoes and red contact lenses. Harper oozes a "im so cool and hip" vibe. I cant wait till he walks up to the plate wearing some sort of distressed skinny baseball pant variation.

sure it's about the present, but Strasburg had never pitched this much is one season. He was losing effectiveness and was getting knocked around a bit in his last few starts. If they kept him active, by now his arm would be rubber, velocity would be down and he would be losing start after start. Going way over your innings cap takes a huge toll on your performance. He wouldn't have been the same pitcher.

Pretty smart and safe decision IMO.
