The Dreaded pitch count. Looks like we might see some changes

I guess this has been a topic for a while but it came to rear its head Tuesday night when Santana came out after 8 innings. After the game Jerry Manuel was asked if Johan wanted to pitch the 9th would he have left him in. His response was if Johan was adamant about it yes.

Young pitchers are held to there pitch count like it’s the bible. They should be able to go more then 100 pitches and not have to come to the realization that there coming out of the game.

Well Jerry Manuel wants to give pitchers a chance to go past 100 pitches.
