This is a good spot to rant some more about other things that leave me dazed and confused about the way baseball is played today.

Players are stronger and in better physical shape. Training methods are supposedly better and nutrition is better.

So why is it in the 50's and 60's and into the early 70's SPs started 38-42 times a year in a four man rotation and routinely pitched 280-300 innings a year with 18-20 or more complete games, and today can only start every five days, pitch only 220 innings or so, and almost never complete a game....?

And yet there seem to be even more arm injuries than ever? :rolleyes:
