Strasburg got pulled with a no-hitter after 6 innings because he reached his pitch count. That's already the 2nd time in his pro career than has happened to him.
It pains me to say it...but I think he's going to live up to all the hype. Definitely can see him putting up Lincecum numbers.
The interesting call will be if the Nats are playing meaningful baseball in September. The Nats don't want Strasburg going too far over 145 innings or so. What if he dominates? Would they really just shut him down when they could actually contend for a playoff spot for the first time in years?
