I think you have confused me and Will Carroll for someone else.

I'd never thought about it before, but was Herzog "Baker-like" in his regard to starting pitchers? I don't believe managers of that era experienced the pitch count scrutiny of today's managers.

There were a lot of young pitchers who encountered arm trouble in the Herzog era (as you mentioned). But I never seen anyone accuse him of having his pitchers throw 130+ pitches per start. Is that because he didn't or because little notice was given in the 80's?

just curious.
