Mike Rizzo yet again reiterates that Strasburg will be shut down within the next few starts, and he has confirmed that he will not be pitching in October.

The Nats probably can still go deep into the playoffs, but I hope they see an early exit. No team who willingly shuts down their perfectly healthy best pitcher deserves to win a World Series. There's no guarantee that the Nationals will be a perennial playoff team. It's baseball. It'd be funny to me if they waste their one chance to win it all because of this Strasburg decision.
