I am still wondering why we would need to limit his innings. Increasing his innings by 30 over last year would put him at 218 innings max. a 30% increase would put him at 244 innings. I think even with the playoffs he wouldn't go over 244 innings. thats old school. it's interesting to go back 15 years or more and see how many pitchers went 250-300 innings or more for many consectutive years in a row with no arm problems. look at stats for nolan ryan, seaver jenkins, early clemens, carlton, etc. you'd think with all the trainers, exercise, medical, drugs, that todays pitchers would be a whole lot more durable.far from it. i'd love to hear some reasons why pitchers today pitch fewer innings and are more fragile. crazy (train).
