When faced with a pitch count or rest day question, just ask:
“Do MLB teams ask pitchers to do this?”
How are we asking young pitchers to throw more pitches and rest less than the best, strongest and most mature pitchers in the world?
The Mets and Yankees game from Wednesday night was the most watched MLB regular season weeknight game on ESPN in 15 years.
It peaked with 2,810,000 viewers at 10:15 p.m.
No wonder Kenny DeNunez didn’t make it past Triple A ball. The Sandlot kids didn’t have any relief behind him and he probably got burned out from throwing too many innings.
Reading a story about little league baseball and one of the passages is about the memories and friendships that youth baseball creates. Many of my friends now are friends that I grew up playing ball with. I’m so thankful for everything the game has given me.
Hear me out… “OPSS+”. On base + slugging + steals. Rickey was already an OPS god in his career, but he was essentially on the next base 27% of the time that he got a hit or a walk. This is a horrible explanation of my point, but I think I’m onto something.
No active player has managed to steal more bases during their MLB career than Rickey Henderson stole in just the first innings of regular season games during his career. 361!

This. Too many youth coaches worrying more about their accolades than the health of their players. I get that everybody wants to win, but the health and safety of the players has to be the most important thing.
Logan Gilbert having an insane start to the season for Seattle. You know he's having a good year when he gives up one earned run in his outing and his ERA goes up. He could easily end up starting the All Star Game for the AL if he keeps this up.
