But the rest I suggest is ignored .....so Codys injury is JDs fault ...surely you jest

If you look back through his history he has always switched back and forth so it's all of his coaches that have asked him to do so not just the Rangers. Now is it the cause, well who knows and not one that I think can be totally answered. BTA you do pitch differently knowing you are only going to face 3 batters versus wanting to go 6+ innings.

And we don't really know how minor/serious his "injury" really is/isn't. It could be his arm is tired and they want him to rest it a few days, or they have something they want to work on with him or he'll be out till July, who really knows

Yes I do think pitchers are max effort in relief vs starting. Of course overuse and poor development at early age is a factor too. Used to be no curveballs at early age and now coaches do things in their best interest vs the kids
