Long season I know but these fucking pens are killing us!
I think we need to cap pens equally to SP's which is what I use to always do, notably so when hunting totals!

I say all the better.... See here's the deal, (this is going to totally piss some folks off) this whole pitch count phenom. is the most overrated and misquoted change in baseball over the past 20-30 years.... I've never seen anyone present evidence that pitch 101, (or 111 or 121) does any more damage or cause more injuries than the previous ones...
As a matter of fact I would argue that the two main reasons why this pitch count obsession has taken off is (a) the sports media loving the idea of having a reason (or someone,,,ie managers) to blame pitchers arm injuries on,, it brings into the mix a bad guy and a feeling that these injuries are controllable if a certain preconcieved formula is followed.. What manager/owner in his right mind is going to buck this and take a chance on being blamed for any arm injury... no reward there.
(b) Player agents... They buy into this and will cerainly use it to pressure management. Threatening to make sure to scream "labor abuse" if their client goes over to many pitches a game. Hell I heard part of Strabergs contract has how many piches he's going to be allowed to throw... WTF? why not ban him from taking a bat with him to the plate.
I have so much more I believe about this,, but I've already gone on too much in GH thread.... Recapping,,, I like Haren tonight ![]()
I couldn't agree more. At the major league level, their arms are used to throwing a thousand pitches a week.
