McKeon: Pitch on Short Rest? Sure!

'McKeon thinks the media makes a bigger deal about pitchers throwing on short rest than it actually is.

"You go back 15, 20 years ago they did it all the time," he said. "Now it's a five-man rotation instead of a four-man. Everybody is concerned about hurting someone. You go back and look at the Bob Gibsons, the Mickey Loliches, the Denny McClains, they never had rotator cuff problems.

"I think the more you pitch the less chance you have of getting hurt."' (NYPost)
