I was 16 and the pitcher abuse thing wasn't as prevalent as it was now (and I wasn't on any message boards like this one), so I didn't notice until Prior and Wood started getting hurt all the time and people started bringing it up retroactively as the reason. Retroactively my ass. I'm speaking only from my own POV, and like I said, I wasn't as into baseball, nor did I have a message board to educate me, at the time. I never heard about pitcher abuse until after our guys started getting hurt.
