This has been a very "easy" 118 pitches. He hasn't had a high stress inning and if we can have freash arms in the pen the last 2 games, let him finish the damn thing.

 

since when does dusty baker post on internet message boards?

You know that Zambrano recently had a shoulder strain and is coming off a 125 pitch outing, right? Seriously, that would be ridiculously reckless and irresponsible. Also, the "non stress" innings thing seems like an excuse to me. 118 pitches is still 118 pitches. We're up by 6 and have 2 months left to go. There is no reason to leave him in.

I don't want him to finish it, but I know Z will insist that he gets to. That's why I love Z.

 

That being said, I wish NSBB, would realize not ALL pitchers have the same requirements for pitch counts.

 

As Kasper just cited, Sheehan indicated that older pitchers can tolerate higher counts. Plus as I repeat AD NAUSEUM, it's higher stress innings, that REALLY influence Pitcher Abuse.
