MLBPA: Teams Must Change Pitchers Usage To Reduce Injuries
MLBPA executive director Tony Clark expressed concerns Friday about how pitchers are being used in today\'s game, putting the onus on teams to keep them healthy.
\"The conversations that we\'ve had with our players have suggested that unless or until you draw a line in the sand and force change, that the decision-makers on any one particular team are going to continue to make the decisions that they\'re making, which is have pitchers\' -- starting and relievers -- max effort for the period of time that they can have them,\" Clark said on the field at Dodger Stadium before Game 1 of the World Series.
\"As soon as they seem to run out of gas, as the data suggests that they\'re going to, recycle them out and to burn out another pitcher.\"
