Jesus, Sandberg. Not that it should matter, because it's a poor managerial move regardless, but didn't he have some sort of arm/shoulder trouble going into the year? He missed the first month of the season due to shoulder issues and has made 9 starts since then. These games include a 133 pitch outing(career high) and back to back games with 125 pitches. Sandberg also had Roberto Herandez throw 99 pitches in a start on May 9th and then come back on May 11th to try and save a game. Cliff Lee has made 10 starts this year, in 8 of those he has thrown at least 100 pitches. In 4 of them has thrown 114 or more including a 128 pitch outing on April 16th. His pitch counts over his last 7 starts. 128,113,89,106,100,114,116.
