Maybe I'm old or something but I seem to remember a time when managers didn't have to bring in a different pitcher for every batter. A guy that was left handed threw to batters on both sides. So did a guy that was right handed. Nowdays, they have totally messed the game up. If a guy gives you five innings, he's done his job. If he throws 100 pitches, he's got to come out. They use 3-4 relief pitchers to get through the next three innings then bring in a guy that can't pitch more than one inning per game and even with that, can't do it for more than five games in a row. God forbid bringing in a closer to pitch two innings. I wish there were guys like Gibson or Ryan playing today. I'd love to see them kick a manager's ass right on the mound for coming to pull them in some of the situations we see guys pulled for today.
