February 20, 201313 yr I'll admit it: I was rooting for the Netherlands in the last WBC. I did not know this little tidbit about the WBC: The World Baseball Classic has pitch count limits. "So I've got to make sure these guys make something happen early in an at-bat rather than pulling 20 to 25 pitches in one inning," Blyleven said. "You have to abide by the pitch count. If I have a reliever throw over 30 pitches, he needs to rest 24 hours. "So in Game 1, I've got to make sure I keep my relievers under 30 pitches so I can use them the next day. There's some strategy to it." I wonder what Blyleven would be like as a pitching coach. http://www.twincities.com/twins/ci_22624138/charley-walters-bert-blyleven-doesnt-see-his-wbc
