I know it’s Sunday morning, and if you’re anything like me (God help you if you are) you’re currently hooked up to a Folgers IV in an attempt to wake up. Nevertheless, we’re going to start the day with some simple arithmetic. (Trust me: This is harder on me than it is on you.)
And away we go…
Let’s say a starting pitcher is going to throw about 100 pitches. If 15 pitches per inning is about average – and I’ve been told it is – after seven innings the starter’s pitch count would be 105. (BTW, my computer is telling me that it should be “15 pitches are average” but this isn’t the first time my computer and I have quarreled.
