The announcers brought up a good point, if they know he is sitting after 110
major league IP then why leave him in there with a 5 run lead in the sixth?

@JTibbs: I'm not a fan of the whole innings limit thing, but since
they're doing it regardless, taking him out after 5 makes sense.

@JTibbs: I do wonder, perhaps, if the Nats wanted to see how Stephen
would handle sitting for a while and pitching with a rare big lead?

Couldn't sitting do more damage?

I wonder what they were planning on doing with him last year. Also, he only
made $2.4M last year and from what I remember they were no where near the
limit. Change of heart this year I guess as they announced they'll go over
the limit for the right player.
