OCB: It is apparant that you do not accept that overuse is the main issue and that the curve is. Of course that is exactly te position that I would expect to be proclaimed by those in favor of lots of games. While I do not know your position on the number of games to be played and the amount of down time from baseball to be observed, I do know that you are wrong on properly thrown curve balls.
As an aside, pitch counts are not absolutes and may never be as they are a work in progress. They are the best we have at the moment other than for the protection, such as it is, given the children by the significant adults in their lives. That is sorely lacking much of the time. I have nothing further to say that will convince you and so will respond no more as we are merely spinning our wheels.
