[QUOTE="MWBATL, post: 294827, member: 944"] So, just curious....why is it OK for the UF starters, who are major league prospects, to go 119 pitches on the weekend's second season, while other teams have their guys on strict pitch counts? I know there is no real answer to this, since it is all about the increasing number of arm injuries suffered by pitchers in recent years and everyone is guessing it is overuse when young. But I really wonders about this. The use of strict pitch counts doesn't seem to be helping much yet. And I am starting to wonder of maybe it's the opposite, that maybe in the "good old days" guys used to pitch until their arms fell off (starters used to pitch complete games...a lot...back then) and that maybe the pitch counts are having the opposite effect of what they are intended. I am no doctor, just a casual observer, but the pitch counts haven't help prevent many injuries at GT as far as I can see. [/QUOTE]
