Yeah, that's a good one to bring up the next time an old-timer talks about how silly and useless pitch counts are.

Well, for what its worth, I only checked Koufax because Ryan said recently that he threw as many as 242 pitches in a game once.

There are no pitch counts for Ryan before 1989, but the Dodgers kept pitch counts in the 1950s and 1960s, so those numbers are there.

Point being - not having a pitch count certainly didn't hurt Ryan.

Re: AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

There are several pitchers who have had abusive pitch counts and not suffered for it. I seem to recall hearing that Juan Marichal once threw 289 pitches in a game.

But you know, I can fire bullets at a pitcher and it might not hurt his career. That doesn't mean it's a smart thing to do.

Your lucky numbers are 5, 17, 18, 24, 29, 32.
