Denver — Colorado Rockies starter Jon Gray was quick to say that his manager Walt Weiss made the correct decision to take him out of his last start after seven innings pitched — and he reaffirmed his ultimate faith in his bullpen — but I wanted to know if the day ever came that he was asked to go the distance, could he do it?
“Man, I almost never feel like I get tired out there,” he said. “I always feel like I could keep going.”
He says he knows that he and the team need to be smart about his health at this stage of his career and even at this stage of the season, but he expressed nothing short of supreme confidence that should he be asked to throw over 100 pitches, he could do so with relative ease.
