LAT: starting pitchers were limited to about four innings by Rockies GM in 2012

The Rockies called it “Project 5183,” a mile-high nickname for an experiment in which starting pitchers were limited to about four innings. O’Dowd, now an analyst for MLB Network, said that he saluted Dodgers president of baseball operations Andrew Friedman for his creativity and that, yes, he saw a little bit of his own imagination in what the Dodgers have done this season.

The data generally show a third time through the lineup can be treacherous for starting pitchers. The Dodgers refreshed their supply of relievers with frequent shuttle service between Dodger Stadium and their triple-A team in Oklahoma City. They enforced rest breaks for their pitchers by manipulating the 10-day disabled list.
“The holy grail of this thing,” O’Dowd said, “is an attempt to keep your guys healthier for a longer period of time.
“I just think clubs are going to have to adapt to this model, in some form or another, based upon where the game has moved.”
