Julio Teheran was allowed to throw 128 pitches in a complete game shutout last night. I am not sure how I feel about this right now, but the game was virtually over (5-0 after 8 innings is basically 99.8% over). There have been a slew of pitcher injuries recently, and I am terrified that our 23-year-old phenom is next. On the other hand, Teheran has built up the arm strength to throw over 120 pitches and as Carlos Rodon (potential #1 overall pick this year) has reminded us, the only way to know how you perform in those situations is to get there in game situations.
I have no idea what the right decision is here, but I am concerned.
