By the time he breaks down it's too late.
There is no "right answer" for this situation. I'm glad I'm not Rizzo. If he fries Strasburg's arm he'll get killed. If he shuts him down and doesn't win multiple WS rings in the next 5 years he'll get killed.
If Strasburg wants to pitch into the post-season he can make appeals to Rizzo and make the statement publicly that he refuses to be shut down.
