That was Brandon Finnegan last night for the Reds.

 

This thread is about a Dodgers pitcher on Friday (I believe).

 

Yes, I'm talking about the one from Friday night.

There have been almost 300 no hitters in baseball's history, and roughly 250 in the "modern" era. I would have no problem taking a pitcher out with a no hitter under certain circumstances (i.e. last night with the Reds or Friday night with the Dodgers).

 

I would have a much, much harder time taking out a pitcher that is throwing a perfect game. Don't think I could do that.

I mean...he only had 5 outs to go. There's no way I take him out without allowing him to throw a few more pitches.

"He had a chance to do something that had never been done in modern baseball history. Pitch a no-hitter in his first game. He will never have that chance again. You can't take that away from him because of an arbitrary pitch count."

 

I agree

I don't know Wire......young un-established pitcher coming off Tommy John.....adrenaline flowing like crazy......I think I would stick to the pitch count and I would have pulled him.

When did the 100 pitch count theory start? I'm in my mid-30's so I wasn't around when it was common place to have 4-man rotations. It just seems like there are more arm injuries now than there was when I was a kid

These pitch counts are predetermined for a reason, I wouldn"t think they would be arbitrary. I would have pulled him.

I'm like the guy in the article. Is his arm going to fall off if he throws 101 pitches? 110? What if he threw 5 straight pitches that led to outs? I think you have to give him a couple more pitches to see how it plays out.

 

Now if it gets up to 108-110 pitches and they are still in the 8th inning, take him out.

Yeah, I understand. I'm looking at it as he is young, he's had TJ, he knows he's tossing a no-no, his adrenaline is overflowing, if he feels a twinge at all I doubt he's going to say anything. You want him to accomplish it but then again you don't want him devastated by screwing up the arm again. Damned if you do, damned if you don't.

I guess my biggest question for the baseball folks was...what is the different between 100 pitches and 110 pitches? Or 120 pitches?

 

To me, it doesn't seem like a big deal but to baseball folks, maybe it is.

10-20% more. Kinda like if Bernie gets in and raises your taxes by that much-it would make a huge difference. I'm thinking early in the season, young guy, Tommy John, weather are all factors as well.

Everyone knows the arm now falls off after 107 pitches.

I'd pull him without a doubt. Especially this early in the season.

 

There's a reason some managers seem to always keep their pitchers healthy, and a reason some don't.

Manager: "What do you think?"

 

Pitching Coach: "I was going to say go get him, but some guy in Kentucky just turned on the game and he's going to be ticked if we take him out."

 

Manager: "Good point. Leave him out there."

tough call either way and both sides have their ups & downs. That is why managers make the big bucks and we sit around and questions it for the next week or so.
