What goes around, comes around, so that is why a team’s starting pitchers are called “a rotation?”
Get it… Rotation? I say… Rotation… Son, Rotation?
OK – I’ll stop.
In 2016, the Dodgers used 109 different starting pitchers… well, that may be only a slight exaggeration, but they used a lot. At one point last year, the Dodgers had seven (count ’em 7) starting pitchers on the disabled list at one time. That is usually a pretty good sign that the team is going to finish somewhere near last. This is especially true when one of those pitchers is your Ace who also happens to be the best pitcher in baseball.
