Strasburg out.

Almost everyone that pays any attention to sports or baseball knows that Stephen Strasburg is out for 15 days on the DL. He has an inflamed shoulder. That is not the big news. He is only going to be out for about three starts. Or is he? People are speculating whether or not they should just sit him for the rest of the year. They were already worried about innings and him getting injured. I understand that if he is injured now putting him back in too early could just ruin the rest of his career. But, the Nationals are desperate. Their ratings were up, when Strasburg pitched at home they sold tickets. Everybody wanted to see him. Their organization was on the rise finally, then you take away the reason and you are the same low team you were before. Ya, it may be wrong that people only go to Nationals games because he is pitching, but wouldn't you. They are doing whatever that can to bring people in. Strasburg is the savior of this team. If you don't let him pitch at all the rest of the year you are going to have a lot of mad people because they were going to go to Washington and see a Nationals game because they are on the rise and now Strasburg is out. They are the bottom again. I'm not saying that in 15 days to the date he should start. I'm saying maybe the last 2 weeks you give him a couple starts to make sure the shoulder is still okay. Just don't take him out for the rest of the season.
