Harry Dunne said:Yes obviously there is something. I was just wondering if someone knew specifically what it was. I don't think anyone's dumb enough to think they were just doing it for fun.Beat40 said:Harry Dunne said:
I asked a few games ago and no one answered: Why is 100 pitches the "magic number" for pulling a starter out of a game?
I imagine loads of analytical data has told baseball teams around 100 pitches, especially if taxed, is where pitchers risk of injury increases, or at least makes the modern pitcher more prone to fatigue later in the season.
I don't think they do it just for fun.
I remember Ryan being on a pitch count when I was a kid (in Houston) because he was angry about it. I saw an interview with Greg Maddux where he said he never had a pitch count until late in his career. He said he pitched until he was ineffective and learn how to pitch when he was tired.mwm said:
My recollection (often questionable) is that 100 is a "new school" idea. I recall some of the guys like Ryan, Drysdale, Marichal, etc. would regularly throw 120-130 a game. I have no data to support my memory.

All good. I'm sure you're right, I'd just like to know more behind the science.

May 21, 2013 Updated: May 21, 2013 11:56 p.m. In 1989, at age 42, Nolan Ryan averaged 127 pitches a game with a high of 164, which came five days after he threw 150.
...and it's funny he was pissed about that because he once threw 235 pitches in one game!!!mwm said:
