But pitching coach Don Cooper was furious at critics who suggested Sale's
pitch count was too high, considering that left arm soreness caused him to
miss a start earlier this month.
周二Chris Sale三振了15人的比賽 花了高達115球
對於有人批評投教讓Sale用太多球的指教 Don Cooper感到不滿
“Pitch counts are for people who have never been in the game," Cooper said.
"There’s something I believe I talk about because in case something happens,
they can always cite that they brought it up. Sale has got an extra day (of
rest). He threw 115 pitches, and we are doing everything in our power –
skipping sidelines (bullpen sessions), a whole bunch of stuff.
Cooper "球數是給鍵盤專家用的"
"So all I can tell you is we’re monitoring him as well as everybody else on
this team as well as everyone else for the last 11 years I’ve been here. And
check the record and look. If somebody goes down, it’s a rarity. We don’t
want anyone to go down. We are doing everything in our power.”
"我只能說我們保護他就像保護其他選手一樣好 看看記錄吧
如果真有人炸了 那也只是偶發事件"
"But this pitch count thing, we’re in the American League," Cooper said. "We
’re not in Little League. But nevertheless, people that bring up pitch
counts are people who have nothing else to really know. And it just blows me
away. They’re doing that to say, ‘God forbid if someone goes down, I told
you so.’ And these are people that are not in the arena and never really
played, so what kind of validity does any of that hold?
"至於球數 我們是在打美聯 不是少棒聯盟 不過無論如何 會拿球數出來說嘴的是那些
什麼都不懂的傢伙 而這讓我不爽 他們拿這出來只是要說'早說過會(炸裂)嘛'
而這些人是沒進場打過球的人 所以你認為這些鍵盤專家的話有什麼可信度可言?"
