Scary sight. Strasburg just threw a pitch and shook his elbow in agony. Hate to see this.

Re: Significant Injury For Strasburg?
I was watching live. He winced after throwing a change-up and they took him out of the game for precautionary reasons. I wouldn't be surprised if it was his last pitch of the season. I doubt it was a "significant injury", but why risk it? The Nats have no October aspirations. This is the most the the kid has ever pitched in a season and his arm has probably met its limit. He'll be back strong next year. He had the Phils looking like fools for four innings with fastball in the 96-98 range.UNHWildCats wrote:via Twitter

I hope not. The Nats are trying to be really careful with him. It would suck if he turns out to be injury prone.AZGrizFan wrote:Mark Prior II

Re: Significant Injury For Strasburg?
There's always been concern due to his slight build and odd throwing motion. Unfortunately, I think he's going to follow the Mark Prior route a lot more than Nats fans would like.BlueHen86 wrote:I hope not. The Nats are trying to be really careful with him.

I think you are right. I think he puts a lot of stress on his arm when he throws, it may be the price he pays for having such outstanding pitches.GannonFan wrote:There's always been concern due to his slight build and odd throwing motion.

Tommy John surgery to follow 
IMHO - the bigs get these guys and put them out there too soon. They should have let this guy have a couple years with a pro trainer, get some meat on his bones and, more importantly, the arm/shoulder area.
