It's all hypothetical anyway.. What's to say he doesn't go out and get the next six outs on 10 pitches?

:lol:

I'w with playing him as long as he looks like he has the energy and he says that he can go, but like others I yank him as soon as he gives up a hit.

 

PMIC, really? You would ruin his career to see history?

 

Ruin his career, give me a break.. If he comes out in the 8th and walks someone I yank him. If he gets 3 up and 3 down in 8 pitches why not throw him back out there if he feels good.

So it must be impossible..

Pretty much

So you're going to possibly ruin a young man's career just so you can see history?

 

Basically..

 

Ruin his career, give me a break.. If he comes out in the 8th and walks someone I yank him. If he gets 3 up and 3 down in 8 pitches why not throw him back out there if he feels good.

 

You said it?

You said it?

 

And then justified it..

You pull him and replace him with a pitcher that walks 3 of the next 4 batters.

 

I'm not a big fan of the pitch count philosophy. Its a factor, but relying on strictly on the number of pitches is goofy. If the kid is throwing heat and feels great, you keep him in. Period.

And then justified it..

 

Not really but alright.

Ruin his career, give me a break.. If he comes out in the 8th and walks someone I yank him. If he gets 3 up and 3 down in 8 pitches why not throw him back out there if he feels good.

 

:thumb::thumb: Nobody's career is going to be ruined throwing a few extra pitches.

I agree, and It was a close game yesterday as well, You play to win, if hes throwing a no no, he keep throwing him, If its a blow out i pull him, but you saw the bullpen about blow the game, why not go with whats working. JMO. He gives up a hit you yank him, I understand early season pitch counts, but it's just one game, and if hes feeling it, well, you play to win the game.

I'm with you PMIC he didn't throw any pitches under pressure all game. It was a Calm 90 pitches. If he gets in any kind of trouble he's out.

I don't see any problem with leaving him in as long as he feels good, the only thing that got me was the response when posed the question of possibly ruining a young man's career to see history.

Pretty much

 

I have seen 3 outs on 3 pitches several times during my lifetime and I don't even watch a whole lot of baseball. Its very possible to record 3 outs on less than 5 pitches, for sure.

How old is the kid? I'm sure he is old enough to know when his arm is tired and needs to come out. No way 92 pitches is "too many." What will hurt him is throwing a lot of games in a row with a high pitch count. One game is not going to do ruin the kids career.
