The Official 2024 MLB Season Thread

[Trust Me]

If a pitcher has thrown 90 pitches in less than 3 innings, he's losing 15-0.

Not necessarily. He could be wild. Walkin guys left and right.

Tons of foul balls.

Bunch of hits.

Etc.

I feel what you're sayin. It kind of goes in line with what I was saying tho. If you gotta pull a starter in the 2nd/3rd after a rough outing, or an injury, and you can only bring in 2 more pitchers the rest of the way.. I can see that being an issue.

You can use your whole bullpen. It's up the the manager on managing the bullpen and keeping arms fresh.

I mean on avg how many pitchers enter a game during a season

Honestly. it can fluctuate. I'd say on average, a team uses 4 pitchers? Starter, a middle relief or two, set up guy and closer. These days anyway, cause starters don't go nowhere near as long as back in the day.

I'm watching the Yankees game and there's a big ad on the stadium for Motorola Razr

And I'm wondering...what year is this??

 

[Brozay]

White Sox, 2 hits, 0 runs, another shut out

3-16, we might have a historically bad team on our hands here

 

[FaTaL]

guess who? 3 stolen bases and 3 run hr

. This is why mlb is the most challenging of any pro sport , this kid was rippin up the minors

Reminds me of Bregman starting off 1-32 after he got called up. Most people will probably lean on "give him time, he's young, etc." but the same things were said about Torkelson two years ago too.

He might figure it out or he might not have it at the pro level. It's just wild that we still have no idea whether guys are gonna pan out in MLB in 2024. In the NBA and NFL, we usually have a pretty good idea whether someone will contribute in the pros and it happens pretty quickly. In baseball, we generally don't know for five-plus years. The bust rate at the top of the draft and the first round in general is crazy.

MLB teams get it wrong over and over again. People are getting paid great money to basically throw darts at a board and hope the guy pans out. Why isn't this better by now?

Yamamoto's splitter is so goddamn good.
He just has to locate his fastball better.

This kid could legit win a Cy Young.

mlb is tough. I remember when bregman got called up too , he struggled in the gate but he ended up good. Holliday has completely dominated every minor league level since he was drafted not even a year ago.crazy to see him overwhelmed like this but he’s young af

Your boy Baez struggled in his initial call up & ended up runner up mvp in 2018
