47 innings over 6 starts is less than 8 innings a start- that's not unreasonable to ask
Yes it is. That's exactly what got us into trouble in the first place. Your "less than 8 innings per start" is such a convenient and deceptive phrase when one more inning in any start makes for 8 innings per start, which is ridiculous. Scherzer averaged around 6.7 innings per start in his Cy Young season. Asking him to pitch an extra 32 innings over the course of a year is insane for a pitcher that's never been worked that much.
