I'd buy what he was selling if strasburg was going to be an 8 inning shut down pitcher at this point in the season. So many of these types of comments come from guys who weren't watching his games. I can't imagine that after 4 or 5 more starts that we'd be hoping for more than 5 innings of solid pitching, and even that was not a guarantee by any means. This was not going to be the year he was going to be a workhorse ace that led us through the playoffs, no matter what tey did with him.
The team has given him the best chance to be that guy next year.
Sanity
My god people, Storen giving up 4 runs sinks us with or without Strasburg. Enough already.
