"So for me, a little bit has to be put back on Strasburg here. Ok, you throw a pitch, it bothers your arm, and you immediately call out the manager and the trainer? Suck it up kid. This is your profession. You chose to be a baseball player. You can't have the cavalry come in and save your butt every time you feel a little stiff shoulder, sore elbow."
"This is the major leagues. This is not college any more. You're not on scholarship. You're being paid to do the job and guys depend on you, and I think it's unfortunate that the Nationals and the team are in a situation here where this kid now, he feels any kind of arm pain, he's gonna call you out? That's scary to me."
"You give these guys $15 million bucks, please. Get your butt out there and play every fifth day."
Rob Dibble on his XM MLB Network Radio show.
Dusty Baker whole-heartedly agrees!
Worked for Mark Prior! He is still pitching in a league you know!
These radio guys might be just a little overpaid if you ask me.

And Prior's new league? That would be the Golden Baseball League. Where they have a team named: Maui Na Koa Ikaika. Where the recent actions of a manager have caused him to resign "and that the team will implement divesity training for all of it's employees." Where the Phillies shop for players like it is a warehouse store.
I'm surprised that Dibble didn't suggest that the Nationals go to a 3 day rotation.
"Rest? We don't need no stinkin' rest."
That homophobic manager rant was one for the ages.
I was at the Tigers game yesterday (Schlereth pitched) and two (very) old-timers (one was breathing from an oxygen tank) were bitterly bemoaning pitch counts and also the state of the world. "In my day, they pitched both ends of a doubleheader. They are a bunch of pansies today."
Had Alex been there, I would have had to stop him from snickering but I was with Louis who was oblivious to them and just enjoying the game.
Heh, let's not forget Dibble's career ended prematurely because of just such a boneheaded belief: http://news.google.com/newspapers?id=rrEsAAAAIBAJ&sjid=JBUEAAAAIBAJ&pg=6555,4267931&dq=dibble+injury&hl=en
What a moron. The sooner he's away from this team, the better.
Funny how those things work, Nats Cards.
