I didn't take it that way, so now worries.. In fact, I think pitchers today are babied to much. I became friends with Kent Tekulve of the Pirates years ago by accident. I asked him about todays pitcher, and how it was when he was growing up, he mentioned Nolan Ryan would throw upwards of 170 pitches every game, Bob Gibson would throw 200 pitches in a game! It was nothing and 2 days later they were long tossing to stretch out their arms. The only difference was after the season instead of throwing pens and working out, they sold insurance to pay the bills and did not pitch until spring training. Todays youth throw every 3 days or so, in my kids case I had a regiment which was told to me by a former pitcher in the Phillies organization pitch on day 1 rest on day 2, long toss on day 3, full pen on day 4, box pen on day 5 pitch on day 6.. This worked for yesteryears pitchers, todays pitcher pitches on day 1 takes off day 2 and 3 long tosses on day 4 pen on day 5 and pitches on day 6.. THing that makes me question this is there are a ton more injuries today then there were yesteryear..

Oh well..
