    ...about Roy Oswalt's arm? Not that that anything is wrong with it, but he's young and has thrown alot of innings. I would like to see the Stros' limit his pitch count till' the playoffs, yep I said it, playoffs!!

    Compared to most frontline starters, Oswalt's been handled very well. Through 29 starts, he hasn't thrown more than 119 pitches and has only thrown over 100 pitches 14 times - not even half of his outings.

    The Astros have been smart in handling Oswalt to limit any potential injury problems; considering such and the playoff push the Astros are trying to make, there's not really any reason to rest him further - if you do, the Astros likely have no shot at the playoffs.
