    I think Gary and Ron were talking about that. That they would have to allow for a few years of preparation before this new rule went into effect.

    I took a look at the 120 Mets games played so far this year. (Relatively small sample size, but it's what I have available to me.) That's 240 starting pitchers. In 94 of those 240 starts, the starter pitched fewer than six inning and gave up fewer than four earned runs. So under that rule, most of those starters would have stayed in the game longer. (I assume some of them may have reached the 100 pitch count.) That's a higher number than I would have guessed. I looked at the numbers for previous seasons, where the denominator would be 162 * 2, or 324. In 1970, only 45 of the 364 starters pitched fewer than six innings while giving up fewer than four earned runs. In 1980, it was 69. It was 50 in 1990, 50 in 2000, 54 in 2010, and 161 in 2021. (I skipped over 2020 for the obvious reason.) 122 in 2022, and 117 in 2023.

    I don't disagree, but what rule change has led starters to pitch fewer innings?
  9. Benjamin Grimm
    Okay, they can take the pitcher out after four earned runs. So that means the official scorer can have an impact on what happens on the field.
  10. Benjamin Grimm
    I didn't hear whether or not they'd be allowed to take the pitcher out for just plain suckiness. I mean, what if he gives up six runs in the first inning on only thirty pitches?
  11. Benjamin Grimm
    I just caught the tail end of what Gelbs is saying... They're considering a rule that starting pitchers have to go 6 innings or 100 pitches, whatever comes first, unless there's an injury that puts the pitcher on the IL?

    I didn't know that Peter Finch was "his guy."

    That literally made me LOL.

    Is Estes wearing Wilma Flintstone's necklace?

    There were no fans there yesterday at all. It was an empty stadium! The fans you saw on television were all AI.

    Why has Rosario become such a journeyman? I just looked at his numbers, and they don't seem bad at all. He was only able to get a $1.5 million contract for 2024. He'll be a free agent after the season. His star seems to have faded, but I'm not clear why.

    It was a 4-6 stretch. Not ideal, but not crippling in early August. There's plenty of time to recover. We'll just have to see if they do.
