So by now, I assume all of you know about his innings count and the big deal it is to a lot of people.

I personally don't have a problem with it. I was a pitcher and I know the extreme stress an arm and shoulder goes through, not to the extent of a MLB season or after tommy john.

What I have an issue with is the problem people have with it. would you rather him play into the playoffs and kerry wood himself? if that happened the people who said "you gotta pitch him" would say "why didnt you shut him down"

Most injuries happen because of over exhaustion. (there was a flyer that said it when I was PT, must have read that thing 5 times.) So I don't have a problem with it.

They can't shut him down if they're in the playoff race. Just be careful not the have him go for 8 or 9 innings each night. I think he's on a pitch count anyways. But seriously, I can't see them shutting down this guy if they're in the playoff race. I say that if they got it clinched, then ya shut him down and get him ready for the playoffs. But if not, let him go

with how hard he throws and having tommy john, I get where the nationals are. Would you really risk the next 15 years for 1 season where you are really over achieving. I am not saying they give up because 1 player doesnt make a team. he has 15 wins which is good but 1 guy pitching every 5 days dont make or break your team.

they have enough pitching talent to last without him. i didnt see them getting to 70 wins 1st in the ML. But I dont see them getting to the WS with or without him but you never know until it actually happens.

I see a lot of people flip flopping on this issue
