They need to fix this and start by looking at their training regime. Hammies used to be fairly rare and lats were almost never heard of. My bet: too many weights, too much time in the weight room, not enough stretching. Hope they check this out with professionals and adjust.

It was Stras' hot start in the spring that GOT us to the playoffs... It's not like we made it by such a big margin. White Sox limited Sale--they didn't get to postseason either. <br /><br />We've been over this 1,000 times and the facts don't change: Rizzo and Davey did the best they could with the information at hand to (a) protect Stras and (b) get to the postseason. All the calculations of skip a start, shut him down in July/August and restart him in October, etc. etc. etc. are FLAWED.

Geniuses, one and all. Not one has <i>ever</i> explained to me how limiting Strasburg's innings would have kept the Nats in first place (the Braves cleverly limited Medlen's innings so he was available for the Wild Card game and beyond - how did that work out for them?)<br /><br />There is also the implicit assumption that the Nationals would have won if Strasburg had pitched. You can't fight the narrative with common sense. Even ignoring Stras's inconsistency late in the year, and the fact that the pitcher who replaced him (Det) had the best start of any Nats pitcher in the NLDS - even ignoring that, there were no guarantees. In 2003 the Cubs leaned hard on Wood and Prior, didn't even make the WS, and haven't won a playoff game since. And yet the geniuses are <i>so sure</i>.
