Strasburg's nerve damage keeps him from having a normal active life.
On Pardon-the-Interruption last night, Michael Willbon reminded us all that the pitching motion is unnatural and is why so many pitchers endure so much 'down time' with injuries associated with their deliveries.
It was enjoyable to watch Strasburg and deGrom when they dominated, but, alas, their time is most probably past.

I'm not sure if the motion is itself unnatural or that many pitchers don't have good mechanics or aren't doing the proper training. Nolan Ryan looked awfully natural to me, how often was he hurt?
