A player is never going to want to be shut down other players are not going to like it when he does. This is hardly a revelation.
But what are they going to do about it? What are we going to do about it? The decision has been made, it's done. That's it.
The other guys are just going to have to step up like they've done all year. Will they like it that he's shut down? No, but if I played for the Nats, I'd be pretty sick and tired of people automatically assuming that my team was doomed because Stras is being shut down. What am I ? Chopped liver?
Short of winning the World Series this year, there's literally no way of knowing if this decision was the right one or not anyway, so why waste the energy?
