Roy Halladay pitches 10 innings

[Youk Of The Nation]

Almost unheard of these days. What a gamer.

 

Bonderman didnt do so badly either. Each of them made one mistake.

Almost identical numbers, too.

 

Halladay: 10 IP, 6 H, 1 ER, 0BB 2 K

Bonderman: 9 IP, 6H, 1 ER, 0BB, 4 K

 

 

Im too lazy to look it up, but when was the last time there was an entire MLB game played with no walks being issued?

[ANiMAL]

Damn, that is impressive. And what makes it more impressive was that they both faced tough lineups.

[Cocos Disciples]

Wow. He's throwback.

[BSN07]

I have him on my fantasy, I hope he doesn't get hurt because of it. I imagine his pitch count must have been fairly low for 9 innings and thats why he was allowed to go out for the 10th.

Who knew Dusty Baker was managing the Jays AND the Tigers now? :dunno:

[Rodney Harrison]

He had 98 pitches after 9 and he got two quick outs on four pitches in the 10th. Had the game been extended to the 11th, it's likely he would have gone out again.

I have Bonderman AND Halladay on one fantasy team. It's pretty awesome that I got those numbers and Bonderman didn't get the L :thumbsup:

[BruinsFan]

Awesome!

 

I say stop worrying about pitch counts for once. Don't throw a complete game every day, but if the guy has 98 pitches, let him throw another once and a while

I saw an article in the LA Times a couple of seasons ago on pitch counts. Nolan Ryan threw 13 innings and 235 pitches and he didn't get the win. Luis Tiant threw 14 1/3 innings, and although his pitch count wasn't recorded, it's impossible for anyone now to throw that many pitches in a game. Here's the link.

Pitch counts have been around longer than we all think. Tom Seaver said that he had a 130-40 pitch count and that Ryan had a 160 count. The difference was that it was more for the pitchers years ago. Seaver wanted to know how many he'd thrown so he knew going out each inning how efficient he had to be. When he reached his count it didn't mean the manager was going to take the ball like they do today.

There was an article in the paper copy of SI a few weeks ago (the Matsuzaka article in the baseball preview issue) that talked a lot about pitch counts and how it's getting to the point that having a firm pitch count is detrimental to a young pitcher's career. The focus should be more on proper conditioning, flexibility, and those sorts of things rather than on limiting the amount that these guys throw. Players today are too concerned with adding pure muscle and velocity that they do more damage to their arms (and joints) in less time. If conditioning programs looked more like the Japanese model (said the article) you woudn't see so many firm pitch counts and throwing complete games or 300 innings wouldn't be so odd.

 

Makes sense to me. Ichiro has hardly missed any games, and before last season neither had Hideki. Not pitchers, I know, but there has to be something there.
