Don't think you know what specious means.

Uh no, sorry, don't put words in my mouth, never said anything of the sort, I said why take that chance?  I said that the original plan was to limit his innings pitched as a precaution, which was a reasonable stance to take.  

Your Js then mucked 'bout with him, going to the 6-man rotation, skipping his starts, even sending him to the minors at 1 pt, at least on paper.

Now, that was all done to manage his innings.  And if that's true, and it is, Your Js did it with an eye to protecting his arm, not overusing him.  No other possible conclusion.

Otherwise, if you don't care, why not just pitch him every 5th day as had been the case?

Sorry, man, the facts don't support you.
