Kazmir unhappy with pitch counts
Posted: Wed Aug 22, 2007 12:51 am
Kazmir has now publicly stated that he wants to pitch deeper in games.
16 of his first 17 starts went over 100 pitches.
Frustration is brewing..........
I have mixed emotions about the subject.......I think you should try and win every game, as opposed to saving his arm for 3 years down the road.
I'm not saying let starters run up counts to 130-140, but yanking a guy on a roll at 91 with this bullpen is just as careless.
I think that's just a loser's mentality.
And who knows if or when his arm blows up.
