No player in the last 10 years has fallen off harder than Tim Lincecum

[The War Report]

Who cares? He wasn't suppose to make it in the first place. He won two Cy Youngs.

He's fukking a outlier as a pitcher.

He's fukking a outlier as a pitcher.

He was the 10th overall pick.

What was he supposed to be?

Absolutely.

And pitch counts don't save anyone.
They never have.
They never will.

Max Scherzer maintained a low pitch & innings count as a Tiger, and only threw one complete game.

David Price, one year younger and the 2014/2016 AL innings leader. How's he looking year 2 of his $217 million dollar deal?

Every single big pitcher contract is a pending disaster because all pitchers are an inherent injury risk.
No amount of innings saving or pitch count will change this.

It's like having a trigger pull limit in a game of Russian Roulette. The very nature of the game itself dictates that something bad is going to happen.

Nick Adenhart (RIP) had TJ surgery in 2004 at 18. How many innings was he throwing?
