Goose said in the tape there will be no more Hall of Fame pitchers cause of lack of wins when you only go five. Again, my opinion supported by a Hall of Famer.

Such is life. I dunno bout that. Starters: You have to agree 5 innings is a long outing nowadays. That leaves 4 innings where a LOT can and does happen. So the best starters still get very few wins. W/L meaningless. So that leaves K's. Frankly the five inning wonders all are gonna strike out a TON of batters. Hence a zillion pitchers with a lot of strikeouts. That means nobody outshines anybody else. 10 strikeouts to 12 in five innings will be average to decent. ... Now middle relievers that go one or two innings. Hall of Fame consideration LOL. Finally the guys who work the 8th and 9th. Roles will change with different guys on staffs closing, meaning 20-30 saves a season will be the upper echelon of guys. Not exactly Bruce Sutter territory. Let's face it. Bye bye pitchers for the Hall cept for a few current guys who only recently joined the 5-inning club. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kenley Jansen Hader and Kimbrel are the only relievers that are possibilities…maybe Edwin Diaz in 3-5 more years. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was he a reliable SS? No. He was far from a vaccuum at SS. Catcher? Uh he had a good arm, checks that box. He was similar height and wt to other catchers. Check that box. Yes IMO he was a prime candidate to be a catcher. He was a failure at SS. Botched too many routine plays while occasionally making the spectacular.

The Hall of Fame isn't just about counting stats. Don Sutton got in through his 300 Wins and 3000 Strikeouts, and he was a pretty ordinary "good" pitcher for 23 years. He wasn't one of the greats. Cy Youngs and annual counting stat, top 10 finishes are a good place to start for pitchers. And you keep talking about "5-inning wonders". Most of the top pitchers in the game regularly go 6-7 innings in most of their starts. Edited yesterday at 08:09 PM by WestEddy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RegionSox Posted yesterday at 08:21 PM Share Posted yesterday at 08:21 PM (edited) Gossage also averaged less than 2 innings an appearance so who is he to criticize them for 5 innings Edited yesterday at 08:21 PM by RegionSox 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

People answer your questions, they have for the entire time you have been on this site. You don’t like the answers so you rephrase the question and act like nobody answered it all of the above is nonsense and none of it I agree with. You have absolutely no idea of the average workload of a starter and all you do is cry about 5 inning starters. who. Fucking. Cares. If you win while making sure your pitcher remains healthy for his tenure on the team, it doesn’t matter. You want to know why guys aren’t pitching complete games and 250 innings anymore? Because it ruined their careers. All this special health focus and plans and everything that you hate was born because players were sick of losing their fastball at age 28 because they are throwing too much Goose is one hall of fame player with an opinion. He is not the standard bearer of opinions from the hall of fame Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
