Yup, pitch counts are important over the course of the season, but you have to be able to recognize that there are days where your pitcher is on, and you can let him go a little longer than planned (because there will also days where they aren't on, or don't need to go longer).
Montoyo is a slave to pitch counts, and as a result, the bullpen is in almost constant distress.
