I would make a rule that you aren’t allowed more than two pitching changes per game.
Of course, the Players Union would never allow it.

In his 13 year career, Joe only had 8 more strikeouts (369) than home runs (361)

There’s a lot less stealing bases anymore. Being on second isn’t worth the risk, since they are trying to hit home runs.
To: dfwgator
One of the rule changes being discussed is to require any pitcher to face at least 3 batters before being replaced, just to stop the “one batter” substitutions. (which are more common today apparently, back in the day I remember it happening rarely, like when a pitcher got in trouble quickly or got injured, there was one bullpen guy who could warm up quickly, and then you’d bring in the guy who took longer to warm up).

McClain’s 31 W’s in 1968 will be a tough one to beat.

Sounds like Bayesian Statics are now rampant; maybe they need to be banned....

:: Starters never throw more than 100 pitches/game anymore. ::
Which is comforting to me. That means that Dennis McClain’s record will NEVER be broken.

1. Pitching speeds are higher today than 10 years ago.
2. Batting swings are being coached to achieve a certain launch angle.
3. The Washington Nationals suck.
To: jettester
Wondering if a pitcher will beat Seaver’s 10 strikeouts in a row.
To: be-baw; dfwgator
They should show film of Rod Carew.

Batters don’t want singles.

Thanks for a bit of history - Nice they put him in the Hall of Fame although perhaps a bit belatedly. Not a big MLB fan but I generally watch the playoffs. Quite the batter.

Joe Sewell struck out 114 times in his career ... covering 8,300+ plate appearances. This included such outlandish seasons as 1925 (4 Ks in 608 at-bats), 1929 (4 in 679 ABs) and 1932 (3 in 576 ABs).
