Zero hour, Michael. It's the end of the line. I'm the firstborn. I'm sick of playing second fiddle. I'm always third in line for everything. I'm tired of finishing fourth. Being the fifth wheel. There are six things I'm mad about, and I'm taking over.

Reds have lost three 1-0 games in a row

First time that's happened since 1960

Got bored and nerded it up tonight while watching the Phils.  I was wondering how some of the stats in baseball have changed over the years, and dug into Baseball Reference a bit, then made a spreadsheet.  Mainly hall of famers (or likely for more recent pitchers), along with Wheeler and Nola (and threw in Walker just for the heck of it). 

What does it show?  It does reflect some things we already know:  fewer starts per year and fewer innings per start. 

Mostly, I just need something to do to calm the raging Phillies anxiety.

Nice to see all that laid out

The era of treating a solid six inning start like it's a nine inning Bob Gibson gem enrages me

i dont think anyone does that, but you think they do so its true?

wheeler's numbers are probably off a little bit from his mets days and dealing with all those injuries. id be curious to see his phillies numbers isolated. the biggest difference is just how hard pitchers have to throw to get guys out...it absolutely destroys arms. most people seem to understand this. most people

Greg Maddux won 355 games with a fastball that wouldn't bruise you if he hit you with it.  And he threw 109 complete games too.

Teams also used to have four man rotations.

Pitchers get the hook once they throw 90 pitches too.  It's a farging farce.
