5 innings, 9 hits, 7 runs, 5 earned, 2 HR, 3 K, 1 BB

 

His ERA is now 1.55

It's ridiculous how many innings Hillman has had him throw already this season. You could tell last Sunday that this was bound to happen soon.

Puh-lease. Not counting todays game, he's averaging 107 pitches a game. If you're saying that he's been overworked, your crazy. Maybe his arm has gotten tired, it happens, but he hasn't been over worked. Also, he's still only 26, so his arm can handle a heavy workload (which really isn't heavy). He's been dominating in 90% of his games, there's no reason why he shouldn't have had a lot IP piled up already.

 

For reference, Justin Verlander (who's the same age) has pitched in the same number of game, but in about 10 less innings. Yet, he's averaging 108 pitches per game. Is he being overworked to?

Maybe the first time ever, but I agree with BearSox 10000%.

Good info. Greinke's averaging 7.1 per outing. He still has a significant Cy Young lead...

PItches thrown is WAY more important than innings pitched. The guy had been incredibly effecient all year long, which is why he had piled up so many innings. Without giving up hits and walks, it makes your pitches go further. That IP per start number will come way down as his ERA goes up.
