I'm going to call bullshit on this, BTW. Here are his inning total by year including playoffs:

2002: 116.2
2003: 234.2 (including playoffs)
2004: 118.2
2005: 166.2
2007: 43.2

Actually, here's all his starts for that year:

# Pitches|# Starts
100 or less|5
101-109|6
110-115|5
116-119|7 (2 in postseason)
120-129|6 (2 in September, including a 129)
130+|4 (1 in postseason, 3 in September)


You're going to tell me that given not only the ridiculous increase in innings, but the ridiculous pitch counts (17 starts above what I would call acceptable at 115) he racked up (only 2 other 130+ games in his career and a 129), that it was not Dusty's fault? and Prior's "perfect mechanics" were to blame?

Dusty didn't help, obviously, but it was gonna happen sooner or later. Dusty just sped up the process. So in that regard yes, Dusty is at fault, but it's not like he broke something that was supposed to be unbreakable.

Any pitcher, no matter how good their mechanics would be broken down after that...Wood was never the same either.
