June 2, 200421 yr I was reading this article and was amazed at how Baker abused Wood and Prior last year. I mean, I knew it was bad, But damn. Check it out for yourselves. http://sports.espn.go.com/mlb/columns/stor...phil&id=1813545
June 2, 200421 yr I don't even think the average pitch count is as bad as the 130-140 pitch outings. Those are the ones that will kill you.
June 2, 200421 yr I'm going to hell for this but "You have to pretend that you're a construction worker out there," Baker explained to assembled media before his Cubs beat the Cardinals 6-5 on a hot and humid Saturday in Chicago. "You have no choice. It's easier for me. It's easier for most Latin guys and it's easier for most minority people. Most of us come from heat. "We were brought over here for the heat, right?" Baker continued. "Isn't that history? Weren't we brought over here because we can take the heat?" "Now white pitchers were brought here because they can throw a lot of pitches every game. 120, 130, 140, man they can just keep throwin and going"
June 2, 200421 yr Yeah, Kerry Wood doesn't know from heat, growing up in FRIGID Texas and all..... Dusty Baylor.....sheesh......
