Not having great stuff makes them predictable and gives hitters more opportunity to beat them. I think some blame needs to fall on the pitch-calling and sequencing too. Hottovy will probably be the first to get the 🪓.
Yeah this year erased all goodwill toward the entire pitching infrastructure and philosophy for me. I dont care, playoffs or not, my only reason for watching is PCA.
The Cubs had more than 1 winning season. They went to 3 straight NLCS. They have done more than Milwaukee over the last 10 years.
Listen to what the horsefeathers you're saying man.
I saw a post that showed if anyone is possibly on Pete's level with the jumps he gets if they lower the minimum attempt threshold to the tiniest sample size and it had Brett slightly ahead of Pete lol
Honestly thought Dunston might be on the list. I was looking at his numbers a while back and was surprised at some of the seasons he had. He was pretty terrible.
Pete is the only reason to care about the season anymore. People keep going like well if we win X then they have to win Y and we are horsefeathers doing our damndest not to make much of the X.
Ohtani is gonna come out next year and go 60-60. His drive to prove greatness is understated. Before 2024 his high in steals was 26. 30 was a surprise and he damn near ended with 60. Went absolutely nuts in that last month.
