Where has he asked WIS to fix the problem he inheritedThis entire thread is dedicated to getting WifS to change something they said, in plain English, was working EXACTLY as intended. Where did he not ask WifS to fix the "problem"?

The new owner won't even know what happened.The pitcher will recover fatigue in the offseason, however he will not improve during this season.And the new owner will be able to see the development/non-development. Treat it like an injured player. Same thing.

I am asking why would they not DH a pitcher for 7 straight games. What is the reasonThe Yankees wouldn't do it for fear of injury. See Chien-Ming Wang.But, if a team wouldn't do it, neither should we. And, if we do, we pay the price. He's lucky the guy didn't get injured and lose ratings. He should thank WifS for that.
