Interesting factoid from Dicknbert: If Lohse is the winning pitcher tonight he will be the 13th pitcher to record a win against every major league team.

 

 

That just seems kind of a low number to me

Back in the 16-team era, and even in the 20-team era players didn't move around as much. pre-Curt Flood, you know.

To me it looks like Gibby ball is moving well, the Segura HR was just a good hit by Segura, the LeCroy HR got a little to much of the plate, but was in the lower quadrant, so not a good pitch, but not a horrible pitch either.

Interleague play and free agency have made this a more likely occurrence. In the old days, there weren't 30 teams of course. Beyond that, without pitching for two teams in each league, a pitcher couldn't beat every team in the league.

And interleague play is a big factor.

Great, I do a game thread and the Twins decide to give up a couple of runs right away.

 

I'm quite sure it's part of the master plan, though. Lull the Brew Crew to sleep and then ambush them.

Interesting. Several times over the years I've heard pitchers say they were too strong after extra rest (due to rainouts, all-star game breaks, etc.) and as a result they didn't pitch well. I don't know enough about pitching to explain how that makes a difference but I think there's probably a good reason that the 5-man rotation has become the standard. The Mets' situation is unique, having 3 starters on innings limits. I'd consider staying with a 5-game rotation but have 2 of the spots covered by the 3 pitchers in question, giving one of them the day off each time through. That way the other 3 pitchers are still pitching on normal rest.

 

Bert made reference to this at the beginning of the game, saying that it can especially be true for sinkerballers, and again after Gibson gave up his third home run.
