I don't know that there's really a threshold. I think around the 75-pitch mark. But it would be stupid to say 'Well, you're at 75 pitches. You're done,' if it's in the middle of a hitter and he's throwing well. You just have to use common sense. It's more how hard he has to work in an inning.
More Quotes from Terry Francona:
There might come a situation where we might want (Mike) Timlin in there early, rather than wait for the perfect spot -- the save situation -- when we have a chance to lose in the seventh. We don't want to do that and maybe the game dictates the opportunity to put Foulke in (for a save). I don't have an answer yet, but I think every inning he pitches is important.Terry Francona
He was OK to stay in, but I didn't think it was a smart thing to do. We go and get ice on it now, and not only do we hopefully have him (today), but have him feeling a little bit better.
Terry Francona
When he's really good he pounds the strike zone and stays out of the middle of the plate.
Terry Francona
I thought this was by far the best. He's got a fair chance now to be himself.
Terry Francona
He hasn't felt good since then. His average has taken a dip recently. I think we all know why. He hit that nail or bolt or whatever the hell in Toronto. Then he started throwing different because of the stitches.

I miss him already. He's a good friend of mine. We really care a lot about him getting healthy. Nip will do a great job professionally.
