Quit Crabbin' about the Bullpen

Yeah, Jim, I read yer comments about starting pitchers.  But guess what: it's a new game, what with the tight strike zone, low mound, hard balls and bats.  made for hitters, cuz the Powers that Be think the fans want hits

well that tight strike zone runs up the pitch count and that's what makes this a new game.

starting pitcher ain't gonna make it into the 6th.  get used to it.

for today's game you'll need a starter and then a set-up man and then a closer

figure the set up man pitches the 6th and 7th and the closer pitches the 8th and 9th

that's a lot of pitching

all I got to say is this:  it ain't baseball.  ya wanna see action?  open that strike zone up a little so the hitter has to get in the game instead of just standing there trying to draw a walk.

if it was up to me, i'd make 3-2 the last pitch.  foul it off yer out.  that would keep the game moving and cut down on the pitch count

but they way baseball is going at this they probably ought to switch to 7 innings
