Between A Rock And A Hard Place

As we all know, Dusty Baker is widely known for being the leading manager in having pitchers at the top of the PAP, or Baseball Prospectus Pitcher Abuse Points, but in his defense, Dusty doesn't always get helped out by his starting staff. Look at Big Z last night. He was at the 70 pitch count in the 3rd with no outs and 2 on, He was taken out after 4 2/3 with a count of 109. Back in 2001, when he was touted as a future star in Vineline, Oneri Fleita made a comment about him having a heavy sinker that would be perfect for Wrigley Field since he could get ground outs early and stay in games longer & be fresher later in the game? It seems like he has become more of a power pitching, strikeout type who gives up a lot of walks, who routinely hits 100+ pitches by the 6th inning, instead of lasting longer into the game because of short innings early. So while it is somewhat correct, and kind of fun, to blame Dusty for abusing pitchers, I don't know that that is 100% fair. If Baker took pitchers out when they hit 100 pitches, often that would be sometime in the 5th inning, which would probably upset the starters since they wouldn't qualify for the win, and he'd screw up his bullpen even more than he does now. So, do you blame Z in this case, and the starters in general, Larry Fraudschild for not getting the throw strikes message clearly enough, or both?
