When men weren't coached and trained into throwing 5 - 7 MPH faster than their previous norm.
Yeah, it’s a different game.
Dave, think you’d enjoy video of that 1965 Maloney game. Check it out.
In bottom of 9th, Cubs have winning run on 2B and Larry Jackson due up. Do Cubs hit for the pitcher there? NO. Jackson takes his turn, Cubs don’t score, and Jackson goes out to mound to pitch top of the 10th.
The starting pitcher was King. If doing well, he stays in game come hell or high water. Not saying it’s a good thing for Jim Maloney to throw 190 pitches but not too sure that such a good thing now that the bullpen is King.
Taillon pulled yesterday after 77 pitches (52 strikes) working on a 1-hit shutout? That’s baseball today. Of course 190 pitches seems crazy. But, maybe a bit too much the other way these days. What do you think?
