In an effort to give them the best chance to win, the Nationals plan to start Stephen Strasburg in all 162 games this season. The phenom is the best pitcher on the team, and they hope that his arm can hold up the entire season.
"If he pitches every game, I hope he will get in a groove" said Nationals Manager Jim Riggleman. "Sometimes pitchers take a few days off in between starts and they get rusty."
The Nationals also hope that Strasburg's appearance in every game will boost attendance. Attendance figures were up for his expected starts, so they hope that the fans who bought tickets for his starts will now buy tickets for each of his starts.
