    The fact that we've won games without Nick is amazing. For all the moaning and groaning, this team is pretty good with the notable absence of hurt key players like Moose, Antone and Sims, not to mention Nick and others. All we need is a reliable bullpen. Are you listening BCast and Krall?

    The other thing, is that when guys were throwing 150+ pitches back in the day, they were making peanuts and if they blew their arms out, the owners didn't care. Guys are making money now, and they are investments, so they try to protect their arms.

    Was in the park last night. Just now watched the replay. The camera does not begin to do justice on how great that catch was.

Johan Santana effectively melted his arm with a 134-pitch no-hitter. He already was rich and accomplished. I'm sure he'd do it again, but there wasn't much left in his well after that night. He had a 2.38 ERA through 11 games after that game. He'd pitch another 10 games, totaling 49 IP, with an 8.27 ERA in those games.
    I'm pretty sure that one outing was not the primary cause of his demise. If his arm was in that fragile a state, the demise was inevitable.

    The other point is that it is just as destructive for so many max effort pitching, "airing it out" is a bigger problem than pitch counts. Better mechanics, less effort, go deeper into ballgames...airing it out is a paradigm shift that the game is not better for it.
