On Episode 222 of “Hittin’ Season,” hosts John Stolnis and Justin Klugh discuss the highly questionable umpiring we’ve seen in the MLB postseason so far this year, why bullpenning intellectually is a stupid idea, and what do the Phillies do about their rotation in 2019?
Topics include:
- Milwaukee and Oakland have been “bullpenning” during the playoffs, something that used to be a last resort for teams that ran out of healthy starting pitchers or played a bunch of doubleheaders? Is it a sustainable model of succes?
- The state of umpiring in MLB is terrible, as we’ve seen from the postseason so far.
