    and bring back his dark arts pixie dust

    Hate waiting until 8:15 (eastern) for games to start. #EDTproblems

    My kid played travel for a few years. Pitching the same girl 3 games in a row in 95 degree heat

    Okay, I'll play along. Scores in his 8 losses: 5-3 3-0 8-3 2-1 1-0 3-0 4-2 2-1 That's 10 runs scored by the Pirates in his 8 losses.

    The preseason exists only to make money these days. Teams are not using it the way it was intended (which fine, that's up to them). I wouldn't spend a dime to go see 4th stringers

    It's been a mixed bag in the first week. Burrow played, Jackson didn't. No Hurts for Philly. Geno threw 3 passes for Vegas. No starters in the HoF game

    A pitcher with a 5+ ERA? NOooooooo

    It's not apples to apples (of course), and they even do this in NCAA softball, but the conditioning of a 9 year old girl is not the same as the 22 year old at an SEC school.
  11. Derwood
    And then in softball, they have the same girl pitch all 7 innings of a triple header
  12. Derwood
    The 7 hits he allowed was a career high. That’s unreal

    Skenes now just one game under .500 Stupid Pirates

    assuming one of those two is Kerry Wood, I would argue that while yes, he was probably overused as a rookie (which lead to his surgery), but then his next five seasons were: 137.0 174.1 213.2 211.0 140.1 What "innings pitched" doesn't account for, of course, is pitch count, and we know that Dusty Baker notoriously drove up pitch count with Wood and Prior
  15. Derwood
    I get that, but a) pitchers get 4 days of rest between physical exertions, so there is a built in recovery period that most other sports do not have and b) this board acts like a pitcher who has never pitched more than 100 innings will have his arm explode when he goes out for inning 101. I'm all for preserving Horton over the long term, but a team that only has 3 good pitchers is going to torpedo their playoff hopes if they shut down one (or two, if you include Boyd) because of the "innings pitched bogeyman"
  16. Derwood
    Yet everyone does it (and this board is obsessed with it)
  17. Derwood
    Feels like shutting down highly effective starters for some nebulous possibility of arm injuries (which will happen regardless) is shooting yourself in the foot
  18. Derwood
    Is there any long-term data showing that innings management actually prevents injury? Feels like teams are overly cautious about workload, but guys still get hurt at a pretty regular rate

    Just to put a fine point on Andrew Vaughn's ascension to GOAT of MLB:

    When Yadier Molina retired, he gifted the pixie dust to Jose Quintana

    There was a longtime poster here named Fred Hornkhol who didn't swear, but used "horsefeathers" instead. When he passed away (sadly, before the Cubs won the WS), we changed the curse filter in his honor
  22. Derwood
    Fake rally complete. Braves win 5-4. Megill gave up a BOMB to Harris, but shut it down
  23. Derwood
    Their defensive positioning, especially in the infield, is just impeccable. A Brave just smoked one right up the middle (just past the mound) and the SS was standing right there behind the bag to scoop it. Unreal
  24. Derwood
    Toronto just set a league record with 63 hits in a 3 game series They outscored the Rockies 45-6 over those 3 games
  25. Derwood
    Braves fake rallying back a bit, now 5-3
