Stephen Strasburg will make his final start of the season on September 12. But there’s still plenty of baseball left for the Nationals.

The Washington Times commissioned a scientific poll on whether or not the Nationals should shut down Stephen Strasburg before the end of the season.

It’s almost time, folks. After last night’s game, Stephen Strasburg is six innings closer to hitting his team-mandated innings limit. And everyone’s got an opinion now.

After 117 games, in which the Nationals have compiled a 72-45 record, the moment Nationals fans have dreaded all year is within sight. Stephen Strasburg’s season is nearly over.
