Honestly, I think a larger chunk of the whole pitch-limit and inning-limit issue is simply managers and coaches doing everything they can to absolve themselves of responsibility for injuries rather than to actually prevent them.
Without a doubt.
And this isn't unique to baseball, of course. At Boeing or Weyerhaueser, if a manager has a tough decision to make, they're leaving themselves wide open to second-guessing if they make it unconventionally.
Where does that leave the M's on decisions like Jesus Montero, two rookies in the rotation, Carp in LF, Wells in CF and so forth? ....
