I agree with giving guys that have been in the league a little bit some extra rope but Priesters so young and I just don't know that you want to push the envelope too hard yet.
In this case it was less about pitch count and more about the fact that everything coming off the bat was a rocket including one off his glove.
He was throwing some pretty fat ones and getting away with it.
Agreed approach wise he's probably worse but his mechanics are much like they were early last year where he didn't trust his hands and was flying open and overswinging at everything
Durbin's mechanics are a mess right now.
Overswinging and front toe coming off the ground and falling backwards
And needs to be a little more vertical.
Too much squat.
While it's too late to happen now Mr Google says there's never been a MLB game that ended 9 to 0 with the team scoring one run per inning for all nine innings
I think it's largely 10 years of bad drafting and developing hitters.
And most of the guys that put a big numbers in the minors are still flawed that get rapidly exposed by Big League pitching
