They are committed to money and not to winning. They are completely protecting their investment, nothing else.
There were other ways to do this. They knew in June how many innings they were going to have him throw. They had a huge lead in the division. They easily could have pitched him every 2 times through the rotation and saved his arm and his innings.
I feel very bad for the rest of the guys on the team that busted their asses all year to have the best record in baseball. Might be the only shot at a title some of these guys get.

The Nats are seriously braindead - -
they were in first place in June and did not have the foresight to rest Strasburg so he could pitch in the playoffs --
just dumb considering they probably wont get back to the playoffs for another few years.
Not trying to be condescending, but do you know how hard it is in baseball to make the post-season every year?Four good starting pitchers with a deep lineup and no playoffs?
