關於Strasburg的關機時間Rizzo一直沒有正面確認過. 之前盛傳160局限制是參考Jordan Zimmermann的狀況; 同樣都是季中動Tommy John的年輕投手, 同樣都在隔年季中復出投手丘. Zimmermann在160局後關機,Strasburg也理應如此. 只是之前Rizzo都以"那是媒體的臆測"來回應. 這是兩個月前Rizzo對於這個問題的回答. "Look, the media put (the 160-innings limit) out there, not me." "It probably comes from what Jordan Zimmermann pitched last year. "I don't have a specific pitch count in my mind, a specific innings count in my mind. I am going to refer to my experience as a farm director, as a player development guy, and knowing his body. In conjunction with Davey Johnson and (pitching coach) Steve McCatty, when we feel he's had enough, we're going to shut him down." "看,160局是媒體寫的,不是我說的." "這大概是基於去年Zimmermann的用法吧." "我的頭殼裡沒有具體的球數限制或局數限制. 我會參考過去農場頭頭的經驗, 當一個球員管理人,並且摸熟他的肉體. 我跟Davey Johnson,投教Steve McCatty將會合體, 當我們覺得他被操夠了,我們就會停手." 當前兩天再度被問到相同的問題, Rizzo則是比較明確地確認球團不會讓Strasburg投到季末. "To ask [Strasburg] to throw 200 innings now, that is not a prudent way to do business with a 23-year-old, top-of-the-rotation starter we plan to have for a long time," "[Shutting him down] is going to be painful, and we are going to take grief. But I will not shy away from it. I am the caretaker of this organization for the long haul." "現在要求那小子尻到200局對23歲的年輕人來說並不是正確玩法, 特別他又是輪值裡的頭頭,我們打算用很久." "把他關掉很是痛苦,但我們必須要走過這段悲傷. 我不會害怕面對這個問題.我是組織的管理者, 必須要為組織的長久發展作打算." Rizzo的慣用技:有講等於沒講. --
