July 25, 201015 yr Its not stat per se, but 100 pitches is grossly over rated as a guide post for the end of a pitcher's effectiveness. And it cost the Marlins a win tonight.

Yeah, it's not a magic number. People allow themselves to be controlled by their psychology. Just like 100 or 125 or 150 lbs aren't significant weights unto themselves, and $1,000,000 isn't a magic number for retirement automatically, etc., but people don't even think past that.

People are ignorant and fall stupid to solid or even numbers all the time. It's laughable that 100 pitches becomes the benchmark for a pitchers limit, or that .300 batting is the line between good and average, etc. etc. That happens all the time, with specific numbers being 1, 10, 50, 100, 1000, 1000000, etc. What would you do with a million bucks? Hey, I got a 100k + job now. Goes on and on.
