Mavric Posted April 21, 2022 Author Share Posted April 21, 2022 What percentage of our games has our starter made it through four? I don't think it's very good. Quote Link to comment

He's got a short hook for sure. All year. The pitchers know it too. It adds pressure to the game. I think a good pitcher can come into his own when you let him work through a tough inning, and then bring him back in the next. So many times, we see our starters get yanked with 2 or 1 out in a close game early on. I'm not a fan of that philosophy. It wears out the pen. And adds even more pressure on future starters to be ahead or get yanked when there is adversity. It's like the manager feels he needs to make a move to keep things in his control. Again, I don't like that. And the results back it up. But that's just me. Quote Link to comment

I can't comment without being at the game. My biggest issue is our pitchers getting behind on the count batter after batter. Quote Link to comment
