It sounds to me like Strasburg always kinda thought the team would change their mind. When he finally realized they wouldn't his performance dipped severely. I don't think it was the media attention. I just think it's really hard to be fully committed knowing you aren't going to be there when the games count the most. I don't think that makes Strasburg a baby. I think that makes him human.
Great season Stephen. Glad he got through it healthy and super excited to see him in 2013.
