QUOTE (flavum @ May 10, 2015 -> 11:00 AM) I'm not saying abuse him. But there needs to be a balance of what's good for him and good for the team. In my opinion, monitoring him as they go, 160 in the regular season, and 30 more in the postseason isn't abuse. Alex Fernandez pitched 250 innings as a 20 year old in 1990. That's abuse. IP alone isn't abuse. It all depends on how he worked up to the 250 IP in years past. You have to work up to a marathon, but it is routinely done. Starting pitching is no different. Guys could throw 300 IP if they were trained for it.

QUOTE (ptatc @ May 10, 2015 -> 10:48 AM) No he cannot handle 190 innings. Physically it will not be good on his body plus he weill be so worn out he would probably be useless. The Sox cannot force that type of jump in innings and not put him at signifcant injury risk. And they won't. That is why they are working his innings the way that they are.

QUOTE (flavum @ May 10, 2015 -> 09:44 AM) He was brought up to give 4-5 innings if they needed it. They didn't need it. Exactly. This keeps him able to be used right away in Charlotte instead of messing them up even worse.

QUOTE (Mike F. @ May 9, 2015 -> 10:09 PM) Robin is such an a$$hole. Why not give Beck this inning? To keep him usable for the AAA team?

No winner thread? For shame.

QUOTE (chitownsportsfan @ May 9, 2015 -> 03:06 PM) You think it's good for a billion dollar operation to have more than one public face? You think it's good to have a story about how upper management has to tell their hand picked manager to act more competent? How do you spin this story as a good thing? Kinda like the Cubs have their President as their face of operations?

That is a really nice turn of a double play 2-3-2

Yes. The front office needs to take advice from message board fans on how to run their billion dollar operation.

DRIVE HOME SAFELY, BEEP BEEP!
