without looking it up, it seems he's gone past 100+ pitches too many times this year Only 5 times in 9 starts. And two of those were exactly 100. The other 3 were 119 (no-no), 108 and 111. Yeah they are doing a good job of limiting his outings for sure. But given that he threw almost 100 innings more in 2015 than the previous year, there's a chance that arm fatigue is unavoidable.
