Josh Alper takes Rob Dibble to task for complaining about Stephen Strasburg not pitching through an injury:

Dibble’s under the impression that Strasburg is a crybaby who goes looking for help anytime he feels pain, but that’s not at all in evidence. Strasburg let someone know when something felt wrong, not when something hurt a little bit, and the team gave him an MRI that confirmed something was amiss in his forearm.

Anyone who thinks that you shouldn’t trust an athlete who says that he thinks something is wrong with his body should spend some time reading up on J.R. Richard and less time slamming them on the radio before the results of medical tests have even been revealed.

It’s all about the controversy on the radio.
