That's the series they got a lot of flack for shutting down Strasburg, right?

Yes. That's one of those decisions that seemed to split absolutely based on how close to/emotionally invested in the team you were. The local baseball media and the Nats' fans were overwhelmingly in support of that decision. The National media (and apparently a lot of "baseball guys") were absolutely appalled and some hold it against the franchise to this day.
Personally, I doubt he would have made any difference at all. Those who held up Medlen's handling by the Braves as an example of a better approach are more muted in their criticism now; [knock on wood] both Stras and J Zimm have continued their progress/recovery from their surgeries and gotten stronger year by year following the Nats' protocol.
I fear that it's a debate that will never go away until/unless the Nats win rings. Obviously, I'm hoping it is a ghost we can bury within the next month, but lots of formidable foes (most with more crunch time experience) stand in the way.
