So in your mind he isnt more efficent but the facts show he has taken 580 FEWER pitches to get through the same amount of innings.
Last year, through 171.0 innings, he pitched 3028.

This year, through 170.1 innings, he's thrown 2878 pitches.

It's gunna be about 120 or so less pitches this year. It's not the improvement we'd all hoped for. I don't think it's insane to complain about him throwing 115 pitches in 6 innings. I think you need your best players to play very well, or you're in trouble. So, it' makes more sense to be pssd at them than to be pssd at mediocre players like Casey Blake etc. I was a little wrong. On pitch count, he's been slightly better this year. Tucky Chucky was way wrong (bout 460 pitches wrong.) I'd say we are starting to get old.
