Snell vs the 3rd time through the order this season is kind of rough admittedly

.304/.304/.609 slash against

But his second time through the order is .307/.350/.627 and I didn't see him getting pulled then

For his career his third time through the order is .247/.329/.413

Real talk about 3rd time through order stuff. Not to go full old man, but pitchers went 3 times through all the time back in the day and no one gave a poo poo. Was there a 3rd order effect 20,30,40 years ago and troglydyte management never realized it, or have hitters gotten exceptionally better in the last 10 years or so?

I don't really think it's troglodyte for people not to have realized it since they wouldn't have had access to the data as easily, but there's a lot of poo poo that was done back in the day that analytics came along and said "actually that's wrong." This article uses data from 1999-2002 to show a third time through the order penalty so it didn't just pop up in the last 10 years either. Interestingly it also says this about back in the day pitching decisions:

quote:

Another thing you can clearly see is that most pitchers make it through the order at least three times, which is actually something of a modern trend. In the past, starting pitchers pitched many more complete games, but they were also taken out earlier when they were getting shelled.

so your initial assumption might not even be correct
