I don't care if the guy was at 150 pitches, zero justification for it

FIRE BORGES!

is his pitch limit. He's been on and off the DL. Tough call but they want Hill in October.

science or evidence behind them. They are completely made up, with a 100 pitch limit chosen as a round number--they as much religion as they are science. Literally no one really knows what the numbers should be--pure guesswork

Those. Bastards.

that is modern major league managing of pitchers. A whole philosophy of "preserving" pitchers has emerged in the last 15 years that has ZERO fact or evidence behind it. It's a modern day religion with nothing behind the curtain. You would think in metric obessed baseball today that evidence would dirve these decisions, but they are made with less fact than voodoo dolls.

The journey this guy has had to go through to get back to the majors. He went down to A ball, signed 7 minior league deals and was playing independant ball before making it all the way back to the majors.
How in the world could you pull that guy 6 outs from a perfect game?

And the Dodgers had a comfortable cushion! WTF? I mean, what's the worst that happens? He gives up a 1 run homer? So what? Unless the guy's arm is literally falling off, let him play.

This start just screwed me in a very competitve high money h2h playoff league.
However, how can you pull him?
85 pitches, I know blister. But obviously not a huge deal for him. And not a realtively competive game.
Give up a hit. Pull him. Before that? Bullshit
So. When its 3-2 game are you going to pull him at 85 pitches? Even in a pennant race?
Plus his reaction, you think he's going to resign with the Dodgers or give a flying fuck about that organization going forward?
Managing is not a video game. These are people you deal with, not spreadsheets.
I do agree with the sabermetric crowd, however I think especialy with pitchers and pens "my arm feels like shit today" happens more often than people care to think///

if his arm is that big of a worry, let him pitch underhand until he gives up a hit. it's a perfect game for fuck's sake.

mlbtraderumors.com has a story up on Roberts' thinking for pulling Hill. He said there were signs of the blister returning. See http://www.mlbtraderumors.com/2016/09/dave-roberts-on-rich-hills-near-p…

If Dodgers management wants to hedge and keep him healthy for the long run, then it is their perogative to pull him out if he is throwing a Super Duper Perfect Game with Kate Upton tugging on his hose. They send him a paycheck every week.

What Would Justin Verlander Do?
