Too much money invested in these guys arms nowadays.

Managers/GMs/Owners want a full season’s ROI. It may be overly cautious, but that’s how it is now.
Paradoxically enough, they aren’t getting a full season anymore.

30 starts and 200+ IP are few and far between.

There is a lot more to pitch counts/injuries/arm care but just pointing it out. It’s a very interesting topic. No one really has a clue and there’s little to no real science beh Bd any opinions that I am aware of.

I wonder if it’s psychological.

All the focus on not getting hurt causes pitchers to feel hurt or maybe even get hurt?

I think that the “what you believe/think is your reality” type of philosophy can be exaggerated (usually by self help grifters), yet at the same time I do think there is some truth to it.
