Pitchers are making too much money so now teams are afraid to push them
Treating them like collector's items instead of professional athletes.
From 1995 through 2005, Pedro Martinez pitched at least 186 innings, except for 2001.
Tom Glavine averaged 220 innings per season for his entire career.
Greg Maddux averaged 229 per year.
Mike Mussina averaged 226 per year.
These are men who weighed MAYBE 175 pounds, and for most of his career I'm pretty sure Pedro was 10-15 pounds under that.
Every one of them could have touched the mid-90s if they needed it early in their careers. Probably only Pedro went above that with regularity. But mainly they lived in the mid-to-low 90s.
How is it that all of these guys, who were frail-looking dweebs, managed to have long careers with few injuries? All of them somehow managed to accumulate 50+ complete games.
Maybe it's because they knew how to change speeds and locate.
You're not gonna tell me that some stupid pitch clock is responsible for injuries. Or that innings limits and pitch counts are going to save careers.
Clayton Kershaw can't wipe his ass without injuring something.
Chris Sale, same thing.
Jacob deGrom, another one.
Bartolo Colon was better than league-average at 43 years old.
And he was throwing 88 mph fastballs.
Miss me with the bullshyt.

The pitch clock isn't as bad as the fact that pitchers are being coddled yet STILL getting injured. Whatever they're doing doesn't work.
Analytics departments wanna treat every game like game 7 where teams gotta empty the clip. Never have I seen more team getting the bullpen going in the first inning because the starter gave up 3 runs in the first inning than now.

Rain saved the dodgers , cubs was about to bust this mf wide open 
He's probably never going to be a .900 OPS player.
He's fine on a team like Detroit now. But they should not see him as a cornerstone guy.
