Which club? Why didn't they try to preserve you for long term BP?

This thread has been about as stupid as it gets, imo. I cannot wait for all of the "experts" to "educate" everyone on how shutting the kid down "cost" them. Where are the ****ing Rolaids? I am sure everyone who disagrees with what they did is a "medical expert" that lends something more than a Holiday Inn Express point of view. The closer gives up four runs in the 9th to hand the Cards the game. Yup, blame the series on no Strasburg. Bravo...BTW, what are the lottery numbers while you are at it?

I don't know if anyone can directly correlate the series loss because of Strasburg, and I don't blame it on him, but does that really matter? Does it change the fact that it is still stupid the way the Nats handled the kid? I don't think it does.

No, you cannot. Fact? Stupid? Do you know what a fact is? Or are you just using it loosely here? What seems stupid in life to me is when someone speaks about something they know very little about like they are an expert. You seem to be doing right about now. If not, here is you chance to speak to your expertise on the subject. Lay out your facts that back up your claim of how they mishandled the guy. Do not forget to provide your qualifications on the subject of TJ surgery recovery times, how much stress you should put on the replacement UCL, specifically for younger individuals and the long term impact on them. I will not hold my breath waiting for these facts.

This is an interesting response. Before I form my reply, I'm curious what you think the reason was for the Nats shutting him down?

The the thread is stupid not from your original question. i did not say that, either. No, it turned stupid when hindsight became the driver of expert opinion. In my opinion, it is a result of the media creating an issue out of a non-issue to sell a story. I distinctly remember how up in arms everyone was when they shut down Zimmermann last year using the same reasoning. From Spring Training, the team stated what the plan was. It wasn't confusing, bad planning or stupid, as described. The front office weighed out all of the medical data and made a choice to do what they thought will benefit the team in the long run. The rebuilding plan has been to target the 2013 season for quite a while. This year's version played above all expectations. To think it is a one time chance for this team to play in the playoffs is trending towards ludicrous, imo.
