The freak is this. I'm usually pretty sympathetic to pulling pitchers early, but this is freaking bullcrap.
He didn't have a pitch count limit.

And if he did... you can't keep pulling him around 50 pitches, he'll never build up endurance.

He made it 60

It probably had something to do with his drop in velocity and the conversation he had previously.

No reason to risk it with Strasburg. Gives us a chance to look at other arms in the bullpen. Strasburg can build up endurance next season.
