They're trying to build for the long term and are set up to make several playoff runs, not just one. Protecting Strasburg is a key part of that.

The flip side of the argument is that he pitches, hurts himself in that postseason, and then everyone is all over them for abusing a pitcher coming off of Tommy John surgery and potentially ruining his career and the team's future.
Yeah, i.e. like Shanahan getting RGIII hurt. I still would've pitched him though. History is littered with teams that never get back... it's hard to throw that opportunity away.
