Fields of glory shine eternal

It also doesn't bother me as much for pitchers because there is the occasional pitcher who really has that limited stamina. Bob Wickman once talked about how his limit was basically 15 pitches before he would get gassed, which basically jives with someone like Nigel Sung. A handful of those guys floating around the league is no big deal.

Yeah I've got Tony Glass (boy is that an appropriate name) in my organization, and his DUR makes usage impossible to figure since if he pitches, he has to wait 10 days to pitch again. I think a lower limit of 10 on either side would be a lot easier to manage around.

I'm still sore about the Walt Cummings trade Beepers made tbh.

Cummings for Ismael Barrios ($20M option declined, gone after 1/2 season, re-signed with SFE), Bill Butler (no-bat SS) and Norm Bundy (traded back to SFE the next offseason for Stan Dixon, a middling SP) :gonk:

In the end, it comes down to throwing one pitch after another, and seeing what happens. With each new consequence, the game begins to take shape.
I can't hate too hard on Santayana because I've been using Vinny Kobayashi as my backup catcher forever, I mean he's not quite at the same level as Santayana but it's similar in principle

I have explored the idea that Cummings's knee exploding was for a year and change injury that he didn't fully recover from was karmic retribution for that

Yeah, Cummings is really suffering in production after that one

I think i'm done with Dimaggio. As much as it pains me to leave Braulio Canseco and Terrence Weinhardt, I think it's clear i'm never going to win anything in this world. Now to win 100+ games again in Clemens and get bounced in the first round!
