I'll admit it. This is only a big deal because it happened to Stephen Strasburg, but we're talking about it anyways. Now listen up.
Strasburg's senior season at San Diego St. = 109 innings
Strasburg's rookie season in the minors and majors to date = 109 2/3 innings
Basically what we have is a guy who is, as he said himself, heading into "uncharted territory". It'll be important for manager Jim Riggleman and the rest of the Nationals to keep a close eye on Strasburg the rest of the season. There's no reason to overwork the young pitcher in his first season while trying to fight their way out of the cellar in the NL East. If Strasburg is ruined because of poor handling, I may never forgive the Nats, and they won't forgive themselves.
