It's a good thing research doesn't show that 110+ pitches and more in a start not only put the pitcher at an enhanced injury risk, but the pitcher also performs substantially worse in his next start(s?) too. So there is only downside.

And for the pitchers who can handle more of a workload, guess what? They'll be the ones who pitch 200-220+ innings eveyr year and get more value as a result. There's a ton of value in that... simply because it's so hard nowadays TO do that. So it's still a win. Ask C.C. Sabathia.

but every time someone gets up to 100 pitches its omg bring that [censored] reliever with a 5 era in the game instead of actually
have them learn to stretch themselves out and get used to pitching in that spot.

Sorry, but the body can't get "used" to all kinds of tension and pressure and etc. etc. that shouldn't be on the arm and elbow without getting hurt. And like it or not, one pitch in 2007 is a lot harder than one pitch in 1960. Sorry.
