September 7th, Stephen Strasburg, whose been out for the entire season after having Tommy John surgery, will start against the Dodgers.

Stupid move. Let him throw some bullpen & keep him ready to open for you 2012.

Oh & call up Bryce Harper tomorrow.

No reason why Strasburg shouldn't pitch. Looking forward to it.
Bryce Harper really should be up, but they want to baby him.

^They should be babying Strasburg. He's the franchise. I mean, from a fan perspective, sure, I wanna see him go. But from a managerial standpoint, just silly.

Bryce did hurt himself though, so they won't bring him up. But that sucks. They probably won't bring him up until next September. $:-\$

The Natinals did that for the quick cash grab & don't think about the future. Lots of dumb businesses do junk like that. And the fans are Strasburg bandwagon fans. Glad they didn't show up this time, only 29, 092.

It really doesn't make sense NOT to play him. If he's healthy, throw him out there.
Sure he could get injured, but that could happen anytime. You never going to play him?
