Teams have so much money invested in pitchers now they have to take a cautious approach. Ron Washington caught grief earlier this season for letting Yu Darvish go 130 pitches.

What team can afford these days to have a single starting pitcher go down? The last team that could afford that to a degree was the 90’s Braves. The risk of straining them is just too great.
