Reply to "Pitch count and finishing batter/ days rest confusion"

I read it as, if he reaches the max daily limit he can finish the batter. He cannot finish the batter if he reaches a specific target days rest threshold. So if 1-49 is one day rest (49 and one day is nuts!) and he throws pitch 50, he is sitting for 2 days.

IMO I hate the pitch count rules. Lucky to get 3 innings with one pitcher if you want to save him for next game (usually Tuesday and Thursdays.)  so if I read the rules right he has to stop at 50 for a days rest but if he reaches 105 he can finish that batter.

1-25 no days rest

26-50 1 day

51-75 2 day

76-105 3 days
