At least Cain has consecutive years of throwing 200 or so innings. And Lincecum had a lot more IP last year than Sanchez did.

Oh knoez he’s thrown 10 more pitches than he should, his arm is ruined!!!!!!!
Babying pitchers does nothing.
If you condition pitchers to throw more innings and pitches then there’s no reason to worry. The way they continually baby pitchers today is a travesty. Yes there is an investment of money, but the idea that you can prevent injuries via a pitch count is pretty ludicrous.
It’s also ludicrous to try and stretch a guy for another inning with a fresh bullpen. A guy who threw less than 100 innings last year.
For me it’s not the exact number of pitches; it’s the overall effort and the probability that he wouldn’t have good stuff if he came out again. Especially with a fresh pen.
It's my blarg! Quick Pitch
he’s still looking at a ridiculous increase in IP this year
Matt Cain: He'll save children, but not the Dodger children.
wow no shit? Maybe that’s because it’s his first year as a full-time starter. That’s going to be a given. There’s nothing they can really do to stop that. What do you want them to do pull a Joba and run him out for a few innings a game until his stamina and arm strength are up for it? Oh wait that’s what the off-season is for.

No he didn't
He threw 75 2/3. And even if you are right that pitchers need to throw more, that isn’t something you do by having Sanchez blow away his previous IP high and throw more stressful big-league game pitches. That’s something you do every day over a year of throwing on the side
by North Side Chicago Expatriate Giants Fan on Jun 24, 2008 6:34 PM PDT up reply actions
What do you think they did with him this last off-season?
http://www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/article.cgi?f=/c/a/2007/08/31/SPP8RSDC1.DTL
big difference. Dusty left guys in who would have 3 or 4 high stress innings. And let them go upwards of 130 pitches. Sanchez had been cruising the last few innings. Big difference.
There is no reason for him to be out there, and he is going to go way over his previous high in IP for a season. Why risk our young pitcher? Why?
by North Side Chicago Expatriate Giants Fan on Jun 24, 2008 6:27 PM PDT up reply actions
How is seeing if he can get through a quick inning risking our young pitcher? You really think 8 more pitches is going to destroy his arm?
If he gets hurt, he gets hurt. Injuries are going to happen, regardless if someone threw 120 pitches or 98.
pitchers who hit 120 have a statistically significant tendency to sharply decline in effectiveness in their next couple of outings.
Injuries, it’s more of a grey area, but why risk it?
you can't block the Bocock
It’s not a risk. Yes their effectiveness could wane, but if they’re conditioned properly there would be no problem. The whole game today is pretty much a joke when it comes to the way that they baby pitchers, yet most of these guys end up blowing their arms out ANYWAY.
“No problem?” “It’s not a risk.”
Do you just pull this shit out of your ass?
by North Side Chicago Expatriate Giants Fan on Jun 24, 2008 6:36 PM PDT up reply actions
Nope. Look at Lincecum. Is he babied? No. And the kid has never had any problems. He doesn’t even ice his fucking arm. He is mechanically sound and in peak shape. In fact the Giants pretty much let him alone because Lincecum and his father’s regimen has worked for him so well they’re too afraid they’ll fuck him up.
Look at Merkin Valdez, tell me what pitch counts have done for him. Oh wait his arm is hurt ANYWAY.
Guys used to throw 250-300 innings year in and out all the goddamn time, some got hurt, but plenty others remained effective for a long time. And these guys didn’t even train for baseball year round like they do now.
LINCECUM IS A FREAK DO NOT INCLUDE LINCECUM IN YOUR ARGUMENT
Matt Cain: He'll save children, but not the Dodger children.
Look at Merkin Valdez, tell me what pitch counts have done for him. Oh wait his arm is hurt ANYWAY.
Seriously, is that your argument against pitch counts? Are you kidding me? Stop talking already.
Everyone should be trained by Lincecum’s dad, but he is odd and unique. That comes from years and years of throwing, too – not one offseason of workouts.
And you really can’t just point at individual pitchers who have been hurt and say “SEE HE GOT HURT PITCH COUNTS ARE STUPID.” That is like saying “THERE’S NO GLOBAL WARMING IT IS COLD TODAY.”
Guys used to throw 250-300 or more innings, but tons of guys were injured and couldn’t handle it. Only the guys who had the conditioning and genetics to handle the workload were able to do it.
Why not work Sanchez up to the higher PC and innings? Even if you don’t agree with the many studies and are going to stick with the “LET MEN BE MEN AND PITCH!!1
” argument, wouldn’t you rather be safe, protect Sanchez, and let him exceed innings and pitch counts when the team isn’t in June of a season of suck?
by North Side Chicago Expatriate Giants Fan on Jun 24, 2008 6:48 PM PDT up reply actions
If there was reasoning to think that him throwing more would lead to injuries than sure, protect him. But there is not.
And isn’t the object of the game to win? If we’re so afraid of injuring our young talent than maybe we should just encase them in carbonite for 5 years until this team is playoff competitive then.
the game’s a lot different now then it was back then. And again, college innings don’t really count towards future injury risk.
But let me put it this way. If we’re wrong, Tyler Walker gets a few more innings, if you’re wrong it could ruin the careers of the only bright points on this team.
you can't block the Bocock
How come college innings don’t count?
Speed, defense... and an almost fanatical devotion to getting picked off.
They’re lower stress. Pitchers face hitters of less quality, meaning less pitches, less stress induced to get the out. Also, pitching in front of 30,000 is a lot different than pitching a home game in college on a Thursday night in front of 200 people.
Right because the amount of people in the stands really changes the situation for the pitcher trying to WIN a fucking game and trying to get hitters out when they get into a tight spot.
If a guy is that concerned with the crowd he probably has no place being in the Major Leagues to begin with.
Nothing was ignored. The first part is inconsequential really. Top prospects may be facing “lesser” talent in HS and College, but they are still works in progress themselves. Its not like they’re ML ready at 18 or 20 years old. Especially pitchers.
They still throw way too many pitches in HS and College, even with inferior talent they are facing. Mostly due to the fact that they are indeed amateurs.

Isn’t one of the reasons nine teams passed on Lincecum because of his perceived college (over)workload? I

They’re still on a baseball diamond. Its not like they’re pitching in a jungle. There levels of responses aren’t going to be that different from college to pros because of the attendance. That’s a ridiculous assumption.
I don’t know about you Hobbes, but I’m guessing pitching a game in front of a full house in Yankee Stadium is pretty different (in terms of the stress it might generate with a player) than pitching a Sunday Night game in college in front of 50 people.
The venue is the only thing that is different. The game is still the same. I really don’t think its going to change anyone’s response levels. Certain people can handle pressure, and others can’t. That usually has to do with any kind of tense situation though. Shouldn’t matter too much whether they play in front of 50,000 or 10,000. If it does, than obviously they’re not going to be very successful.
I’m not sure I buy it though. I mean for the typical college player in a given college game he’s still facing the best competition he’s ever faced in the most intense environment he’s ever played in.
Speed, defense... and an almost fanatical devotion to getting picked off.
but I assume Sanchez wasn’t nearly as good in college as is he is now.
Speed, defense... and an almost fanatical devotion to getting picked off.
But that’s beside the point really.
If you take some of the worst MLB players and stuck them in college, they would destroy everyone. Just as if you took the lower tiered college players and put them in HS, where they were likely stud players.
Like Pete said, they are facing the best competition they have ever known up to that point in time.
that’s what Will Carroll concluded after doing a study: there just wasn’t much of a correlation between college workload and future injury risk. Same deal with the minors but to a lesser extant.
It could be that the type of dominating pitchers that go on to the majors, just don’t need to use their A+ stuff to get every guy out in college.
you can't block the Bocock
I ordered Will Carroll’s book but I recently started reading The Stand. I’ll get back to you guys in about a year :)
Speed, defense... and an almost fanatical devotion to getting picked off.
The Stand is an incredible book. I hope you are reading the uncut version. It means more pages. and probably another week or so of reading, but it fleshes out the story so much that it is way worth it. It is the version King would want you to read. And you shouldn’t be worried about the extra 150+ pages, because you should know King writes a bit on the longwinded side. Enjoy!

Q: Is this the most GAMER game of the year?
We’ve had squeeze plays, a successful hit and run, we scored on throw that got away from second base on a steal play.
so GAMER.
Get the Tums ready...
32-44.... But 22-9 when Timmy/Dirty pitch. 10-34 otherwise. 0-1 in games determined by BS calls.
Adopted Giant: Daryl Maday - 0.95 WHIP for GreenJackets...bonafide fat white guy
Back late to the party
Want to congratulate El Guapo on another fine performance. Keep up the good work kid.
Brian Wilson is fucking my WHIP in the ear. Every. Outing.

I guess I don’t see him pitch enough (is that good or bad?); It seems like he only throws fastballs.

Here’s where Kruk would mention that there’s still a base open to play with.

Agreed
We’re going nowhere in the division and rooting for the Red Sox means you’re letting the terrorists win.

Wilson has the Crazy Eyes
All wide open and slightly crossed like a retarded trucker on a 36-hour meth bender.
Bengie: Like an Aurilia kidney stone, slow-moving and tough to get out.
That is awesome!

I had to go, but...
RE: the pitching workload arguments, I just had one more thing to say:
I don’t agree that college and HS pitches don’t count. HS and college coaches shred pitcher arms too.
YAY WIN!
by North Side Chicago Expatriate Giants Fan on Jun 24, 2008 7:20 PM PDT reply actions
We have
three of the Top Five Strikeout pitchers in the NL.
Meet my three little friends: Timmy, Dirty, and Cain
Imagine if we had some consistent offense. We’d be contenders!
It's my blarg! Quick Pitch
