I thought I was guaranteed a playoff berth before the season started. On paper we looked diabolically good. I know money doesn't buy happiness, but I at least thought you could buy a division title with it. Wrongola.

But as I posted earlier, when he starts getting into the 1-teens then his results this year anyways have shown there is a price to pay in the subsequent start. I don't know though that I want him going 108 every start. I don’t have a problem with 108 at all.

I don't think there is much to pitch counts as all, there isn't evidence that keeping to 100 pitches means a thing. I like this take from Joe Sheehan on babying pitchers: http://www.baseballprospectus.com/article.php?articleid=7858 I don’t have a problem with him going 130 pitches as long as he’s feeling fine.

Man, you are right about a lot of things, and you're probably right that Verlander shouldn't be pushed past 120 often if at all, but I have no problem with him throwing 108 pitches every start (like he is now). 130 was probably a bit much but he's recovered nicely and I don't think that averaging 108 is outrageous or anything. Nicely played game to everyone except Guillen, who needs to learn what we all did in little league - don't throw sidearm. Is 110 pitches too much, Billfer?
