What an afternoon at the stadium It would've even bored a Canadian I'd have rather sucked on some radium Or thrown myself on a genade ... ium Admittedly, it needs some work.
The Mets pulled deGrom in a game three? seasons ago after just one inning despite no runs allowed. The issue was that that one inning tallied 45 pitches due mostly to a comical number of foul balls and three walks. So what they essentially decided was that it was such a stressful inning that he shouldn't go out for the 2nd. iow, their logic was that 45 pitches without a break takes more of a toll than would the same number over three frames. Bottom line: each case is different and part of the argument being made in the other thread is that teams are employing too many top-down, one-size-fits-all solutions.
The history of what is currently considered "Major" league baseball reached 20,000 players all time this week. I wonder how many of that number drop off if you eliminate all those who appeared in only one season. I'm guessing it gets cut in half, or at least darn close to it. Somebody I'm sure has that kind of breakdown.
