You know injuries to pitchers aren't going down, right?
I don't think anyone here is claiming they know how to prevent injuries to pitchers. Other than, not pitching.
Not at all. There is obviously more risk pitching 200 compared to 150. Just like pitching 100 innings is more likely to get an injury than 10 innings. Or running 100 miles will likely give you a twisted ankle or pull quad than running 1 mile.
I just think there are SOOOO many variables involved that I don't think there is any perfect way to prevent arm injuries. So, might as well use him when he's healthy and pitching well. That's what he's getting paid to do.
Problem is, where is the evidence that doing this is beneficial?
They should just stick to him pitching his turn in the rotation and not try to beat the injury fairy.
Sure they have "certified experts" (lol), however, the results from these innings limits that are imposed on pitchers aren't reducing injuries.
So, there is no point in Sanchez pitching less.
