Sorry for not posting something today; my writing time was spent filling in at the ESPN SweetSpot, which has a vacancy since Rob Neyer departed for SB Nation.
There’s an article on protecting pitchers with pitch counts, one on baseball nicknames, and hopefully another one coming on baseball movies.
Will be back in the saddle soon.

i refuse to post on espn…
the problem today isn’t with pitch count, but with pitching mechanics, which is why they’re forced into pitching counts.
there’s no way in hell conditioning and sports health acumen is lower now than it was the the 1900s.
to add to that…also proper preparation and repetition.
