A six inning requirement for starters? Don't like it. But I like it more than having Tommy John surgeries more common than toothaches. What would a scout tell Maddox today if he watched him pitch as a 19 yr old?
As a Dodger fan, have been watching Kershaw as he tries to come back. He won his first game the other day, first time he has pitched well. I followed a bit on my phone, was throwing mostly high 80s. I think he pitched 6 innings, had 8 Ks. We had a rookie pitch the other day. Looked great, got hurt in the fifth. He will be our third Tommy John this season. Buehler coming back from it and struggling. Dustin May. 11 starters have been on the IL this season. Teams use 7 pitchers in a three run game. A reliever comes in, 12 pitches, three outs, and doesn't pitch another one.
How bad does it have to get before someone fixes it.
