That seems reasonable and logical on both accounts, but I don't think Joe would let Arrieta, Lester, etc. throw 70 pitches in 1.2 innings. Letting Strasburg do it with his history and money he's owed seems incredibly reckless. Agreed, especially considering the score of that game. Yeah that's the other thing, the game situation completely called for taking him out after 1 if not still in the first. They were down 7-0 after 1 I believe. Throw in all the factors Duke mentioned above and good god, Dusty is a moron.
