Agree, it's nice for him the AS break is coming. He had gone 140+ during his 1st Cy Young year.. and he's gone 120-130+ a handful of other times. I think the reason he hasn't done so as often in the past couple years is more related to a lack of effectiveness than to fatigue though. I still think he has a rubber arm that can throw forever.
Regardless, I am just so happy for this guy... even proud for him. He's had a tough couple years but just keeps going out there every 5th day and taking the ball. I feel as good for him as I did Zito in last year's post season. Both those guys showed nothing but class/character when struggling, which means a heck of a lot more than when things are going great.
Pads or whoever against, these guys are all big league hitters.
