Again, I've never played baseball and have only scant second-hand knowledge of it, but do love the game.
I would rather us take pitches early in the game and run the pitch count up. When Bruce played pitchers were pitching 130 pitches and pitching twice a weekend. They do not do that anymore. Most are on 85-95 pitch counts.
