Pitcher, Pitcher, Pitcher...

So, the baseball powers that be have decided another season of seven-inning doubleheaders and a tie-breaker format for extra-inning games is worth repeating. Gosh, thanks. As for the players refusing to go along with the dh in the NL, it’s always fun to see somebody else cut off their nose to spite that face. And, lest I forget, game-day rosters will be set at 26 players again. My inner Charlie Finley immediately gets to thinking Allan Lewis and Herb Washington, pinch runners extraordinaire, or Smokey Burgess, pinch hitter extraordinaire, then I see there won’t be any limit on pitchers carried this year. You know what that means, right? Teams definitely will carry thirteen pitchers, except for the ones that opt for fourteen, except for the one that will defy all convention and go with fifteen. And what team would that be, you ask? Hint: Tony LaRussa is their manager. Maybe LaRussa will opt for two openers and the rest relievers. I can’t wait to see. Not.
