Yup. When the doctors say he's not medically ready to exceed the innings limit, you shut him down. Made very little difference down the stretch as Lannan won 2 of 3 starts (I think).
The doctor said that there was no medical evidence one way or the other, Rizzo made a gut decision that the doctors supported.
In a series that was decided in the last inning of the last game one player could have made a difference. With Stras we certainly would be preparing to host San Fran tomorrow.
