I have heard it the whole time on the boards! Surely a reliever turned into a starter can average the most pitches in the acc!

They pretty much don't. Pitchers get hurt. Especially high velocity, slider heavy ones. Anyone blaming the staff just wants to be mad.

SVD tore his after just 8 total innings in three games last year. It sucks out loud, but it happens. Hare it for him.

Eh not sure I agree with that. Yes throwing hard and throwing more breaking balls is harder on the arm but even worse when you're doing it 110 times a game.

There's a reason no major league pitcher throws over 100 pitches anymore. Big time investment with high risk low reward.

Hope he bounces back and I hope he had some kind of insurance policy because he just lost a lot of money. Blame who you want but I'm sure he will look back on it and say he probably should have done it differently.

It seems like every season we lose a key pitcher to injury.
