I was thinking the same thing Frank. Pitchers from a generation or two ago pitched complete or near complete games every fourth day and they pitched for fifteen years without a major injury. Now they are being coddled yet so many of them are getting hurt. Something appears to be wrong.

The Mets were watching Harvey carefully and were thinking of shutting him down sometime in September- they're a hundred games out of first so why risk anything- but he did say his elbow felt tender and they did nothing about it. In his last start he gave up thirteen hits in like six innings so I have to think he was already hurt. What a shame. No guarantee he will be the same.
