Us getting into the NCAA traces back to that, as well. I understand

protecting pitchers but what is magic about 104 pitches? Why would fewer alarms be raised by 95, or 99? How many breaking balls did he throw out of 104 vs. his norm? How stressful was his outing? How many warm up pitches did he throw? Weather conditions come in to play. I guess all those things are charted too. I always go back to 2008 and Joba Chamberlain with the Yankees and the “Joba rules”. Limited pitch count and appearances then transition him into a starting role. The result? Shoulder problems that shut him down. There seem to be a lot of variables to this pitching deal.
