1. Yes, if you want to pitch more, then pitch better
2. However, you also have to consider the people involved - if a pitcher is better with more work, the manager has to recognize that and manage accordingly
3. They need to get the catchers to call for more fastballs. Every single pitcher comes in and starts the inning 2 and 0. And they are throwing way too many pitches per inning. Throw strikes FFS. And that means calling for more fastballs.
4. The starters have all had 8-10 starts now. There is no reason why Montoyo isn't stretching them out more. Not a single pitcher has throw 100 pitches yet this year. Happ threw more than 110 on Tuesday - there is no reason why the Jays pitchers can't.
