Wow. Blue Jays give Daniel Norris the hook two outs into the 1st inning. 91-94 mph but could not locate. A lot of scouts watching tonight.

[Dylan]

That's all the scouts were allowed to see. Shall we start the bidding?

[TDotttt2005]

Actually, started a new thread because it sounded like a trade was forthcoming...looks like he just reached his 30-pitch limit they have, so he was pulled. Sorry...mods can delete if necessary.

[Dylan]

He's only allowed to throw 30 pitches? Is that common?

It is when you just got traded.

[eastcoastjaysfan]

That's the organizations rule. Max 30 pitches in an inning.

 

Also - dumb thread is dumb.

 

Absolutely ridiculous rule if true.

[Laika]

Interesting organizational rule... you'd at least hope that it has some convincing information behind it (medical, biomechanical, injury risk, pitchFX, etc.), and it's not just some random limit pulled from the pea-brain of some dinosaur in the FO.

 

If the risk of sudden injury is significantly higher in young pitchers after 30 consecutive pitches without rest, then we should be all for the rule.

[HERPDERP]

watch the trade be for pitching instead of hitting

I think you know the answer to this question..

and....................."Don't watch my boy, he is untouchable!!

[Angrioter]

It's true. Same reason Sanchez was pulled multiple times earlier in the season before getting out of the first inning.

 

Same as Happ.

Like how AA didn't want Farrell to play Hech and kill his trade value??

[Key22]

Hmm could be the trade in the works - my fantasy Padres Jays trade of epic proportions.

[KingKat]

Huh? You've never heard of per inning pitch count stress on an arm? It's as old a "theory" as per game pitch count limits.

 

Always the smart ass.

[shortstop]

we need a new theory for the organization...

 

I like before they enter the game, they pick a random # out of a hat & that's their pitch count

Hey, friend. Nice trade proposal. Remember when you made this trade proposal as well?

 

AA claims to be trying to get 3 starting pitchers and possibly a 4th - well since starting pitching is the biggest key to success in baseball - we'll have to wait and see what he gets. If he signs Garza, Santana, Jiminez and Tanaka - then we may have a shot at this thing after all! Trade Lind to the Pirates for 2 prospects - send those prospects and Sanchez to Chicago for Smartypants and then trade Rasmus, Izturas, Beurhle, Happ, and Jansen to Seattle For Taijuan Walker, Franklin, Ackley, Saunders and Montero.

 

Apparently evolution really is just a theory.

Didn't you know - we gotta win now. NOW I tell ya. This year is a must win situation! Now I tell ya - now!

How about Dr. Beckett?

 

High-intensity pitches are often high-stress pitches. Teams all across the major leagues don't just count pitches; they count the number of pitches a pitcher makes under duress.

"The philosophy in our organization is, 'How did you get there?"' said Red Sox pitcher Josh Beckett. "When we have a 25-to-35-pitch inning, that's highly stressful for a pitcher. Our guys are very conscious of that. When you're in a highly stressful situation -- runner at second base, none out -- one pitch becomes a pitch and a half. We pay attention to that."
