Leyland def Tigers in 6th as usual

It ain't the same old baseball it was when we was kids.  the game has been skrunched to appease the immediate action crowd that can't go even 1 minute without their adrenalin hit.

it ain't right

but at's the way it is.  low mound, DH, tight strike zone, you know the routine.  and it all adds up to wrecking the game of baseball: the pitcher is asked to throw batting practice so the action gang can always have at least 1 ball in the air at all times.

that ain't baseball

and it ain't baseball to have to yank the pitcher after 5 innings because he's already thrown 100 pitches dead over the plate for the picky hitters to pick over, foul off and slam out over the scoreboard

well, there ain't nothin' i can do about it.  'cept gripe a little.  guess that's why we have blogs these days.  that's All Good

but it's time to start looking at using 2 starters/game @ 4 innings each, + closer.  either that or plan on the bullpen pitching innings 6-9 every night.  it's the way it is

but it ain't the way it Should Be
