Phillies pitchers have been doing more running this spring than in recent years. We want these guys to be able to pitch deep into games and focus. It doesn't matter who's managing or coaching. Just watch baseball. They might learn something.
Starters only pitch every fifth day.
It doesn't hurt them to watch for five innings. This isn't a hobby. It's their occupation. In recent years, pitchers were expected to stay for five innings for games against National League teams and American League East teams that they would be facing in interleague play. The Phillies generally don't give players who are not eligible for arbitration incentive clauses, but have made an exception in the case of shortstop Jimmy Rollins.
