Starting the inning with 118 pitches? C'mon Toronto manager! This guy is super talented but Burnett has injury riddled seasons to spare, that is negligence.
No, they are not. There is a huge correlation between 115+ pitches and injury. I know you haven't done any research on this and will probably back it up with isolated anecdotal evidence of Clemens, The Big Unit, and Nolan Ryan while ignoring the mountain of actual tangible evidence to the contrary.
