from fans about doing that though.
I still think the pitch count thing is overdone. How has Whitney looked since that game? Exactly.
The bottom line is some pitchers can throw more pitches than others. You have to trust the staff that they know what they are doing since they know the player. Some guys can throw 100, some can throw 120, and some can throw 150. The first thing I would look at it to see how a pitchers location is. If he's starting to get the ball up, to me that means that he's not getting his arm up, and if he's not getting his arm up, it's probably because he is tired. It also could mean that his mechanics could starting to come apart, along with getting behind in the count, again likely because of fatigue. Also, a drop in velocity would be a sign to me that a pitcher is probably done.
