“Quarter notes and Hank’s half time
Are poundin’ on this heart of mine
Song to song, I pass my time
With these speakers on ten”
~Eric Church
Watching the playoffs this year, one can’t help but wonder if the way the pitching staffs were handled would be the new wave of the future. No starting pitcher in the World Series made it to the seventh inning this year, and that had never been done before. Managers were going to their bullpen earlier and earlier, sometimes bringing their closer in as early as the seventh inning.
