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.
