Re: When did PC become the item of the day

I don't even particularly care about the pitch count, but Cain looked like he was tiring in the last inning. However, Baseball Prospectus did a study a few years ago that said that high pitch counts have a high correlation with arm injuries and young pitchers (25 and under). You can't prove cause-and-effect, but it's a significant correlation.

Cain's last six pitch counts:

123, 112, 112, 112, 114, 119

This is coming off a season where Cain got tired at the end and bombed in his last couple starts as a result. He doesn't even have the rubber-armed reputation that Lincecum has, not to mention he's younger.

I think Magowan agreed with every veteran that Sabean has brought in. That's why he doesn't fire him. Magowan wants Bonds here, and it doesn't make sense to rebuild as long as you have Barry.

Jesus, what kind of shit. Two shutouts in a row. Cain goes 8 innings of 1 run ball and takes the loss?

I bet Morris gets 9 runs from this team tomorrow. Unbelievable.

Matt Cain has gotten 42 runs of support in his 12 starts this year. Take out the 15 run anomaly of a win he got, that's 27 runs in 11 games. 27??? TWENTY SEVEN runs in ELEVEN games? Take out his other win and it's 20 runs in 10 games. Two runs a game in 85% of his starts?
