fathom Posted August 7, 2008 Share Posted August 7, 2008 QUOTE (Heads22 @ Aug 7, 2008 -> 03:27 AM) Honestly, who lets a young pitcher like JV go 130 pitches? The funny thing is Verlander went into the 8th at the Cell earlier in the year, and he imploded (Gavin's near no-no) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Princess Dye Posted August 7, 2008 Share Posted August 7, 2008 QUOTE (Heads22 @ Aug 6, 2008 -> 09:27 PM) Honestly, who lets a young pitcher like JV go 130 pitches? This is probably one of those games where Leyland tells himself, well it's the 2008 season right here. There can be no other rationale. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean, I hate the Tigers and everything. But, it just pisses me off to see young starters get overworked like that, no matter who it is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pitch count is so overrated, it's not even funny anymore. Pitchers can easily throw 130 pitches a night, but because teams invest so much in pitchers now-a-days, GM's and managers baby the pitchers.
