If you could get a collab with a bigger baseball YTer like Jolly Olive or Foolish, your channel would blow up. Quality is great, and you just need a lucky break. Love the content!
Yeah he’s made so many incredible decisions of pitcher batter matchups this season. It’s annoying how much criticism he gets because he’s one of the biggest factors to our current success
i fr looked down and was so confused that this channel wasnt bigger which i kniw people say but i was genuinely shocked to see that as this was a very good video on a very very good subject also very well done in terms of the information and visuals provided
I think that teams will shift to having two or three starters, with the other starts being with openers and followers. Unless they are in a situation where they do have an incredibly strong rotation, or where they have no strong starters, but I suspect what will be most common will be what i mentioned in descending order
It doesn't make sense to get rid of starting pitchers, it's a waste of talent to have guys who can consistently give you quality starts be reduced to 2-3 innings. This is a good way to use average arms to maximize their value, but it doesn't make any sense to use potential HOF starters this way.
the tigers don't have many guys "who can consistently give you quality starts." maybe it's a good move to become less reliant on potential HOF starters and their high salaries, etc.
He specifically said that you don't need to do it with guys like Cole. If you have elite starters you run them out there, but you use openers for games where you don't have an elite starter to pitch. That could be anywhere from 0 to 5 spots in your rotation, depending on your staff.
MLB will prevent this from happening by changing the rules. but it won’t happen until average runs per games drastically goes down and the offensive part of the game is dramatically effected negatively.
Seems odd to not mention that the more times you change your pitcher the more you can mess with L/R matchups. Obviously you need a good mix of lefties and righties. The Reds played around with openers way back under Pete Rose. You get the other team to build a lineup based on facing a lefty and then bring in a righty, or vice versa. The rosters aren't big enough for an infinite number of pinch hitters. At worst, you force the other team to throw a balanced lineup at you.
It helps when your main starter is going to win the Cy Young. I would slow down on saying starters will phase out entirely, but maybe it will lean on a few cornerstone guys.
Thank you for talking about this years tiger team, what they are doing is remarkable and if they make a deep run, they will be team people will talk about for a long time afterwards, dont sleep on the Gritty Kitties, Go Tigers
If they somehow flop against the White Sox in the last series, the Tigers will end up facing the Astros who had just as much success basically doing the complete opposite. A traditional rotation of Valdez, Brown, Kikuchi, Blanco, and Arrighetti (Forcing Verlander even though he's cooked). That will be the real test.
What do you mean if they flop against white Sox?? The tigers can sweep the white Sox and still end up having to play the astros depending on what the Royals do..
Love the video, hate the trend of using a bunch of relievers, etc. The thing I keep thinking - WHY can Skubal throw 7 shutout? I’ve watched him since he came up, and I knew he’d be this good from day one. So…WHY? I’d want to replicate great starters, rather than a bunch of 1 and 2 inning guys.

If he just keeps uploading, his videos are obviously already showing up in feeds of those of us who watch the bigger channels
They use the 5 starting pitcher rotation due to providing REST for starting pitchers
Hinch is a team changing coach, hope everyone realizes that

I believe starting next year, pitchers are going to have to pitch 5 innings.
I don't think this will last. MLB is already talking about a minimum innings scheme. I think that removing starters cheapens the product.

We'll see if the League itself puts arbitrary rules in place to prevent the game from evolving...

SF Giants did this in 2023 and made it work until they collapsed in the 2nd half...
I've heard about other managers crying about not being able to gameplan them.

@@jerryalexander8803 And the Royals are facing the Braves who are also fighting for a Wild Card spot. The Royals don't have as good odds as the Tigers
@@shoukatsukai Yea Tigers need for the royals to lose in order to move up, Royals don’t need for the tigers to lose in order to move up.. peace
When skubal pitches it looks uncomfortable as hell for him😂
Well, finding good reliever is not that easy...
They do this in the Minors all the time these guys are use to it
Cleveland fan here. Great watch.
Awesome video! Thanks
No Bobby miller ? Or Yamamoto
Love the video, hate the trend of using a bunch of relievers, etc.
The thing I keep thinking - WHY can Skubal throw 7 shutout?
I’ve watched him since he came up, and I knew he’d be this good from day one.
So…WHY?
I’d want to replicate great starters, rather than a bunch of 1 and 2 inning guys.
The Rays aren't even doing it anymore. This video is cute but if the team that invented this isn't doing it anymore, it's not going to happen.
Tarik Skubal, Jackson Jobe, Casey Mize could be a nasty three
Bro said Casey mize
I have been saying this is how teams should use the pitching staff for years now
Younger people should try watching games from the 70's and 80's on TH-cam. The game was much more exciting in my opinion.
