    The Chad Innings Eater. It was once a silly virgin vs chad meme I made on Twitter, but now it has come to life as an episode of Baseball Bits, a Foolish Baseball production. Innings Eater used to be be an insult, now it's a celebration of pitchers like Bobo Newsom, Joe Niekro, Livan Hernandez, Mike Leake, Rick Porcello, Cole Irvin and of course, Jordan Lyles.
    This video is both about Jordan Lyles and not about Jordan Lyles, as Chad Innings Eater is a temporary status for most. Sure, I'll make sure to celebrate the Jordan Lyles Rangers, Jordan Lyles Orioles, and Jordan Lyles Royals years we've seen so far in the 2020s, but the Chad Innings Eater really isn't one pitcher -- it's a lifestyle.
    There will also be a vocab review. Ace pitcher is different from workhorse pitcher and workhorse pitcher is different from innings eater pitcher. How much of a Gigachad you are about it is up to you. Most pitchers can throw a lot of innings when things are going well, but Chad Innings Eaters get outs even when it isn't easy. So hopefully we can answer the question: do innings pitched matter? Even if they're bad innings, the Third Time Through Order?

      ​​​@@cantripleplaysLeBron has never pitched an inning of MLB baseball, which means he has never made any outs. But, this also means he has never given up a run or even a hit! Furthermore, he may never have gotten an at-bat or a hit, but this also means he has never made an out! Clearly, this means that LeBron is a far superior basketball player than plumber Jordan. Join us next week, where we discuss the recent news that has come out about LeBron drinking his coffee with cream and no sugar, and why it means he could probably be a better soccer player than Messi.

      The Texas rangers have a history of very good innings eaters.
      Back in their world series years, they had an entire rotation of them.
      The chad in the group was Colby Lewis, who averaged about 200 per season while throwing in the upper 80s and having an era slightly better than League average.
      Interesting Lee enough, the Texas rangers, in one of his last season's, went 19-13 in games he started and he personally one like 18 of them.

    Jordan Lyles throwing a complete game in a 4-2 loss in 2023 is more ridiculous than I even realized.
    Reminds me of Mark Buehrle who did it twice in a month in 2015 (CG/4er)
    He lead the Majors in Complete games with 4 but it was his first and only full season he failed to reach the 200 innings after 14 consecutive years of doing so.
    It ended up being the last season of his career.

      @@morimo11 Honestly I've watched the video a couple of times now and I still don't know Bailey's exact conclusion, but I would say that the innings eater is the "Ol' Reliable" of the pitching staff. They're serviceable enough where you know they won't get injured, they won't give up too many runs (though it'll still be more than actually good pitchers), and their games won't turn into bullpen games. No team is gonna have a rotation of 5 workhorses, so having an innings eater pitch every 5 days eases the load for the bullpen and the rest of the team

    • @alexisborden3191
      @alexisborden3191 10 місяців тому +2

      @@morimo11 Basically its the SP equivalent of a long reliever, you have a long reliever for when the game is kind of a blowout, you're up by 6 or whatever, so you don't wanna use your good pitchers yet, so your glad if you can get 3 or 4 innings from this guy even if he might give up 2 or 3 runs, and then if it ends up being close you can bring in your good relievers.
      Basically any Innings Eater start is gonna be a game you don't need to use your bullpen. If the game is lost, its lost, its fine because you didn't use your good arms if you used any. But if its close you only need 1 or 2 innings from your relievers instead of 4 or 5 good ones if its close all game. Its valuable to have a guy who can just throw innings that don't matter at somewhat league average quality, he saves your above average pitchers for more critical points in other games.

    As a Yankee fan, I fell in love with Hiroki Kuroda. Seemed like every start went into the 8th for him and he was under 3 ER. Of course, for some weird reason, he got little run support on a team called the Bronx Bombers. Meanwhile, CC Sabathia would go out there and give up 4 ER but the team would score 7 for him and he'd get win after win.

    THANK YOU!! Literally in April of this 2023 season I was with my buddy and his wife. Buddy and I played baseball, we know whats up, wife is new and learning. I said Lyles, at the time, was the best pitcher on the team b/c he eats innings. She had no idea or concept for a team purposely putting someone on the mound that more than likely will lose the game for you. I sent them this video and I cannot thank you enough for explaining it in more detail.

I have a sign with the city connect KC image and I'm dating each start and adding the number. Some guy wearing KC gear asked me what my sign was about.

      Nah, I seriously despise the recently trendy helicopter managing style that is inclined to pull a pitcher before he's even thrown 100 pitches because the analytics say so. What about the eye test? What about what the pitcher and catcher think? It pains me, and I've got a master's in data analytics

    While I do understand the importance of a Lyles on some teams, the Yankees have a bullpen where every time someone good gets injured a randomly generated NPC with an above average ERA shows up to take his place so they don't really need one

    • @MetFanMac
      @MetFanMac Рік тому

      Bobo had an interesting career. Six sporadic appearances over three seasons (in a five-year span), suddenly became a full-time starter at age 26 leading the league in losses, walks, and batters faced, and proceeded to become one of only 40 players who ever played past their 45th birthday following a four-year gap after his initial retirement in 1948, the last active player from the 1920s. The only player not in the Hall of Fame to be mentioned in Ogden Nash's famous poem "Line-Up for Yesterday". (Also, FWIW, listed at a sveltish 200 pounds on a 6'3" frame.)
