-Tell that to Prior,Wood and Morris who were all 1-2-3 in pitch
counts in 2003 and who all had arm injuries in 2004 and spent more
than half the year on the DL. People like Hekel always use that old
tired b.s. about how the old timers pitched 9 innings and never
missed a start blah blah fucking blah. I lmfao everytime some clown
makes that stupid statement. The real truth is that in the 50-60s the
average pitch per count per game was only around 90 pitches a game.--
