So if anyone is wondering if pitch counts matter, here's my sad tale.
Jair Jurgens working on a 3-hit shutout in the 8th inning against the Brewers. I check his pitch count, and it's at 88. His pitch count range is 68-79. Getting greedy, I keep him in, REEEEAAALLY wanting him to get this complete game shutout.
Next pitch? He snaps his forearm. On the shelf for 4-6 weeks.
Learn from my mistakes - don't get greedy.
