GDT 7/23/24 Philadelphia Phillies (Wheeler) @ Minnesota Twins (Woods Richardson)

[billgtrman]

I agree. The break screwed everything up to this team. They have bad plate management Marsh swung at two pitches in the dirt. So frustrating

[Aquapong]

Someone needs to throw back foot sliders at Marsh until he learns to lay off them.

As someone who grew up watching 70s baseball, that sentence still sounds weird to me.

I did also. Then pitchers did not pitch all out on every hitter, they averaged 4-6 K/9 IP. Now we have guys that average twice that, they throw every pitch with near 100% effort because every hitter is able to hit a HR. The game is just different.

Even Carlton averaged fewer K/9 then most of our pitchers.

The 90s live balls changed things forever.
