Upset by Stephen Strasburg's injury?

Well it looks like a another young pitching phenom is looking down the barrel to a career changing injury that could bench him for 12 - 18 months. We've all heard of Kerry Wood and Fausto Carmona but do you think that this will affect his career like it did with them?? And, Nationals fan or not, are you upset by it??

Quite frankly I think he is throwing WAAAYYYYY to hard for a rookie and he should slow it down a little.

    i personally think he will come back still dominant but maybe not throwing 102 but still maybe around 97-98. i think his stuff is good enough to get the job done his way and has the mental toughness required to succeed at this stage of the game. he pushed himself hard but who wouldn't? who wouldn't want to live up to the hype surrounding them when scouts were saying how unbelievably good he was. he proved them right and will continue to prove his doubters wrong after this surgery.

    Strasburg should have known his limits much better and like anyone I hate seeing a good young player going down with an injury usually experienced much later if ever in a pitcher's career. It is upsetting even though I am not a Nationals fan he was fun to watch pitch and I would want the kid to keep the fastball in his arsenal, he should become a better thinker and not have so much whip on his throws.

    nicely, he's finished for the 12 months, and could in all probability omit all of 2011. So, no person will comprehend what something of his profession will convey till 2012 on the earliest. I undergo in strategies Paul Wilson replaced into the #a million %. in the rustic in 1994 by way of the Mets, and replaced into meant to be the 2d coming. He by no skill truly made it, and retired in '07 i think, with fifty 9 lifetime victories. The Nats might desire to be dealing with the comparable factor right here. On yet another word, Washington's coaching team and Riggelman are no longer "good of the line" people. they do no longer even communicate over with the media wisely. replaced into Strasburg in "sturdy" palms right here? i do no longer think of so. yet, Boras have been given his funds and that's what its all approximately now.
