They have exactly zero evidence to support their contention that even during their own lifetimes, the majority of pitchers completed even half of their starts or threw well over 120+ pitches every start.They could, of course, go back to game logs (in Retrosheet) and take a good long look at the quality of hitters in the league and see if, in fact, the other replica Longines L5.155.5.87.7 Ladie's watch teams had lineups with 8 solid hitters (they didn't) and they would see that they seldom had more than 2 good hitters.Tango's pitch count estimator shows that pitch counts Back In The Good Old Days weren't different than they are these days.

Starting pitchers tire somewhere between 80 120 (give or take a few) pitches.With very few exceptions, they always have.If they throw significantly more than 120 in a start, they tend to tire more quickly their next start.Duh.It is also well replica Longines L2.175.0.53.6 Ladie's watch documented that the vast majority of the time, that pitchers get hit much harder the 4th time through the lineup and that fresh arms are usually much more effective than tired ones, which is why relievers have much lower ERA+ than starters.

Most managers operate Tony LaRussa bullpens, and have a specific person to pitch the 8th inning and another specific pitcher to pitch the 9th.Even if a pitcher threw 7 shutout innings every time up, he would still be at the mercy of other relievers as well as his hitters and fielders.These media guys know this perfectly well.Why on earth they propose that essentially, the other team members' efforts should be treated as totally irrelevant replica Longines L5.158.0.71.6 watch considering a pitcher's effectiveness, I do not understand.Because the starting pitcher is not totally responsible for pitching the entire game he starts, because starting pitchers are no longer used as relievers (and acquire additional wins that way) and because they are dependent on the support of their own fielders and hitters, the pitching W/L record is hardly an accurate representation of the pitcher's pitching abilities.
