Truth is, I don't know much about baseball. Is this anything like how the NBA has gravitated towards 3s and the midrange jumper has died out? Like did teams learn that slugging mathematically generates higher returns?
I think this is a good comparison. Pitchers are so good now the odds or getting 4 or 5 hits in an inning to score a few runs is less likely than getting a guy on with a hit or a walk and someone hitting a home run.
Fun fact: every batter responsible for this slump is on my fantasy team.
so you are the problem, then?
I mean he did destroy Big Dumper's entire career.
I also almost got him MVP last year
Some will say you have peaked as a manager.
While others will argue that I always sucked and just had one lucky season
he shit all over it, so I hear
Aren't you beating the might hotdogs this week?
Yes, the slump is wrapping up
Good. My team started slow this week but will come back and defeat RBD. I appreciate you knocking the mighty hotdogs down a peg.
Pitching dominance age
I wonder what it looks like when you go back to the 1900s. The dead ball era? Also team era.
Maybe pitchers be good at pitching
They are quite good. Defenses are for the most part also very good.
It is hard to hit. I am not surprised averages are down. Teams are counting more on slugging than rallies to generate runs these days.
💯
The real stat is championships though.

One would think analytics would favor the hitters. I guess not.
Pitchers are built in labs now. Teams even have machines that can mimic any pitcher in MLB and hitters still can't hit them.
