1. The Duke Posted: August 25, 2021 at 11:54 AM (#6036241)Spoken like a young man with loads of talent !
He’s right in many ways, though
Oh boo f'n hoo.... 8 and 9-man bullpens and now they need "saving" from the horrors of the couple-times-a-season 13 or 14-inning game. Shut up.
I guess I should just be glad none of the responses included "Baseball needs MoAr GaMbLiNg!11!!"
Rather ambiguous question I'd say: one could think that "No, teams are still NOT using them to their full potential", or "No, they're being used too much". Lo and behold, all of the quotes from the players were of the latter category.
As pitchers do less and less and less over time, to "preserve their arms", has anyone studied whether pitchers get hurt less today (in frequency and severity) than they did in decades past? Do they have longer careers?
If we're going to have all these gadgets and gimmicks in the game, one would assume that some benefit is arising from them. Has anyone actually checked? If pitchers are blowing out their arms just as often as they did in 1975 or 1985 or 1995, then, what, exactly, are we accomplishing here?
You may now depart my lawn at your own chosen speed.
Same rate of injuries and more K's...21st century baseball, how can you not love that?
Aren’t pace of games and length of games two different things?
