Strasburg Has A Limit So Stick To It

Once again, it’s time to check off some items on my “TIDU List” — Things I Don’t Understand:
• Why Stephen Strasburg’s innings limit is deemed controversial.
The Nationals are following sound medical advice and a blueprint that’s working well for Jordan Zimmermann. Basing a decision on the playoff race in September would epitomize short-sightedness. After Friday’s game against Colorado, Strasburg should make roughly 10 more starts and be done, period.
The risk of long-term consequences isn’t worth the reward of short-term celebrations.
• How Dwight Howard could ruin his image much worse.
Orlando’s center was among the NBA’s most popular stars. With an electric smile and fun personality, he was a loveable giant, a certified “good guy.” But indecisiveness followed by trade ultimatums have made Howard a national ‘Dwightmare.’
He’s gone from being the face of the NBA to a lower body part on the other side.
