- Dan Patrick recaps yesterday's MLB Playoff action and explains why he has a problem with teams using starting relievers and relying heavily on analytics for postseason games
The Dodgers and Tigers have to do the bullpen game because most of their starters are hurt or traded in the case of the Tigers.
The Dodgers literally have at least 7 starting pitchers injured. Ohtani, Glasnow, Stone, Ryan, Kershaw, Gonsolin, May, Sheehan.......
As he sits in his shrine of coffee cups.
Greg Maddux is the perfect example of ball placement over velocity.
Instead of a nostalgia tour, or hating on Dan Patrick, how about some data? Does pitching-by-committee mean more wins, or fewer wins? I’d love to see some analytics on that.
Tigers have no choice. Skubal is the only surviving starter. 6 pitchers have come up from AAA in 2024 and 5 of them have ERA under 3.00..strategy had worked since mid-august. Its not analytics, its necessity
remember, you must face a minimum of three hitters (exception is end of an inning), so it's not a conversation of "you're throwing 12 pitches this time out".
And, at this level (MLB), velocity without movement does not get hitters out, generally ("I would take a guy at 95mph with movement/wide arsenal of pitches, over a 100mph guy with more limited pitch menu").
They are not intimidated by triple digits in mlb.
Estevez last nite threw a 98mph, challenge fastball ("see if you can hit it") down middle to Lindor...he deposited it far away.
A pro hitter gets much more flustered by offspeed....the new sweeper pitch is really catching on in recent years (a flat slider, basically).
Anything that a hitter has to adjust to, downward/upward, side to side, is more effective than just heat.
The Dodgers pitching staff is on the IL, Dan. Come on, man.
Bro these guys sound lame, the Dodgers don't have a starting pitcher. How is it required for every pitcher to be on if he uses that many? Lol you're only required to get three people out. And if you mess up it's only for one inning and you get pulled or you get pulled in the middle of the inning. Roberts has gone with his best guys before and it's bit him in the butt. Do we need to bring up how many times Kershaw has melted down in the playoffs.
Dan is getting old...doing anything less than everything to win in the postseason would be cheating your fans!
Even the starters get pulled after 2 innings. Baseball is terrible now

Incel whines about something he doesn't like
The parade of mediocrities, that the constant rotation of max-effort relievers represents, eliminates the thrill and drama of the great ace hurler, now consigned to a secondary roll. It’s a much degraded form of a formerly great game.
Hard disagree. The constant chess match of managers pitting pitching strength vs batter tendencies is exponentially more fascinating to watch than a single hurler trying to do it all himself. If you have an unstoppable ace (Skubal) that still may be a thing of beauty, but for anything other than a shiny all star, the strategic platoon is WAY more fun, and frankly for a team without studs, far more effective - RESULTING IN BETTER PLAY.
It’s not degraded at all. It actually results in a much better product than putting a decent “starter” out there to get worked for 4/5 innings.
Baseball should be a best of 7 for every series!!!
Yeah, I agree. 👍🏻 Enough with these three- and five-game series. 🤷🏻♂️🙄🤦🏻♂️
💯
So, it's better to lose than winning with what you've got and using it in the most effective way possible? Got it Dan. Sure, it may not be pretty or live up to some made up standard, but it's resourceful. And resourcefulness counts for something.
"beat off on the mets" ?😢... yikes
Old man complains about the world changing. Move on, nothing to see here.
Also, "My Tigers," you're from Ohio, Dan. Don't insult the Tigers fan base by pretending to be one of us. The older he gets the worse this show is.
Why can't someone from Ohio like the Tigers?

"Long time sports analyst makes poignant observation, that goes over the head of dim witted fans"
I'm from Toledo and have been a Tigers fan since 1971
Get off my lawn.
Completely agree Dan! Especially the part about having command over velo. Love to listen to Smoltz. He knows a helluva lot about pitching, specifically the sequencing. I find that fascinating.
You sound like grandpa yelling at kids to get off their lawn. The postseason USED to be about starting pitching. All due respect to Jeter. Now, it’s just about matchups. Can that be starters? Absolutely. But what it does is even up teams who don’t have dominant starters. If you can give narrow assignments to more pitchers, you have more impact because batters can’t become attuned to your stuff. This is exponentially MORE fun than watching a single pitcher try to go 7 innings and get got starting in innings 4/5.
I agree w ya Dan. The matchups against top pitcher, top opponents hitter, that’s what we want to see.
So much for those 2 1/2 games. Between all these pitcher changes and longer commercial breaks these games are back to the 3 plus hour snooze fest.
disappointing, dan sounds like someone who has no idea what he is talking about
Old man shouting at clouds.
Dodgers baseball ❕❕
⚾ 💙💙💙💙💙💙
Boomer take. Olds don’t like change
That's ok, starting relievers of MLB teams in the postseason aren't fans of Dan Patrick.
Boo-hoo. Don't care, old man. This is baseball. It's brilliant, it's exciting, it's fun. Stop ruining fun, goofball.
WC should be best of 5
DS, CS and WS should be best of 7

@@nolongerblocked6210 "Great observation" 😂😂😂
@@nolongerblocked6210 “great observation” he’s complaining that managers aren’t putting their starters out to throw 90 pitches anymore. Who fuckin cares?
@@Janthdanl and you're complaining about his complaining, how original
@@nolongerblocked6210 how am I complaining? I just called him an old man yelling at clouds. Zip up his pants when you’re done bruh
