This BS about bringing up fresh arms makes me laugh.  There is a AAA season each year, right?  The pitchers in AAA do have a job and get paid for it , right?  So it's HIGHLY likely these guys being mentioned have pitched a lot this season, right?  Do AAA innings not count on a guy's arm?  Stop with the fresh arm crap.  These guys have pitched just as much as if they had been here so that's not "fresh."  That's like just as worn out or close to it as their MLB counterparts.  I any o those guys were the answer they'd already be here.

Fresh to the dugout doesn't really mean fresh.

 

It's not about the total number of innings, it's about managing who has pitched a lot of innings recently. Taxi squads and optioning guys back and forth are common parts of the game. I agree that fresh arms aren't necessarily good arms but you still need to have guys available for blowouts and extra innings.
