How is it not? It defies all logical sense. You have great baseball players in order to win as much as possible. Knowingly making a decision that decreases your immediate chance of winning IN THE POSTSEASON no less is stupid. The whole point of the regular season is to make the postseason, so why would you just quit once you get there? For all we know the Nats might never make the postseason again during Strasburg's career.

The Nationals have put a greater value on hopefully having a healthier, more effective Strasburg in the future than having their second best starter pitch for one postseason. Sometimes, there is more than just 2012.
Plus, if Strasburg were to have pitched this full season, then they would have expected a regression next year (a common trend among young pitchers who increased their workload a lot, usually 70+ innings).

Right. They've built a good team but you're the fricking Natinals. You can't afford to take a we'll get em next time attitude about the playoffs.
