Exactly... not scientific. The science is what should be the driving force behind decisions like this.

Sigh... please show me this correlation (with accompanying data for the league average occurrences and occurrences amoung those with only minor variation in "innings pitched". That is such a bad argument... even the language is bad. An "innings" limit? Innings are a measure of outs. Outs don't cause injuries, stress causes injuries and stress is accumulated by the act of throwing not making outs.
