Chapter 690 Don't Read the Analysis of the Unrelated Text

Save the manuscript: A little information about the rule changes:
1. The mound: The mound move, which will be tested in the Independent League in the second half of the year, is one of the rule changes that may be implemented in the future.

Most pitchers utterly disapprove.

But in the late 60s, the proposal to lower the mound went straight through.

Just because there are too many mythical beasts!The level of pitching at that time was so high that hitters didn't know what to do to improve their level.

The proposal to lower the mound was passed with the approval of the rules committee with ease.

2 Spit: Spit works similarly to pine tar.In the earliest days, it was equivalent to the auxiliary device of the special changing ball.This particular pitch was popular in the major leagues for many years, only to be considered by some pitchers as shortening the careers of professional pitchers.

(Although I don't think so, it was more than 100 years ago, and there is no exact certification now.)
But the ban on spitting on the ball is finally banned, although it looks ugly.But it was also opposed by many pitchers.However, the energy of the players at that time was not as good as it is now, and various compromises seemed normal.

But the buffer period is only a short one year in the major leagues.

But within such a short buffer period, the Ray Chapman incident occurred.

(chapman died because of a head hit. If you are not sure, you can refer to the protagonist's father in the anime "Major League Baseball". I forgot the name, sorry.)
Beginning in 1921, all but 17 veteran pitchers who had used the slobber throughout their careers were banned.

(This is a bit like modern chewing tobacco. Players signed and registered 17 or 16 years ago can chew chewing tobacco on the court. The brown marks you see on TV broadcasts are caused by chewing tobacco. But there are also players Will use snuff outside the game, God, don’t try the taste of Red Bull again.)
The era of the slobberball ended in 1934 with Burleigh grimes being saved by the Yankees.

Well, ignore what I said above, spitting is every now and then, but licking is still there.It just turned into licking hands.

Last time I watched a game with a kid. The kid was young and it was his first time watching a game. He was eating and eating the whole time.As a result, as soon as Kershaw licked his hand, he became obediently motionless.I'll howl when it's over~
3DH: As mentioned above, the pitchers in the late 60s were misunderstood, and the league was thinking about how to make the batters perform better on the offensive end. (The current data flow is really powerful).

So in 1973, the American League introduced DH (Designated Hit).The League of Nations has not been implemented to this day. (There is a discussion, I am so conflicted, I like to watch pitchers hit, but if the National League has DH, then Molina can play for a few more years).

The major leagues began experimenting with DH in spring training in 1969, and the minor leagues continued after that.

But most major league head coaches refused to use it during spring training.

So in the vote on whether to implement it, the Major League Rules Committee rejected the introduction of DH by 7 votes to 2 votes.

However, Finley was very unhappy at the time, and he didn't know how to operate in private. In short, the bosses of the Midland League agreed unanimously.

So Finley proposed to the rules committee whether DH could be implemented only in the American League.

However, it was not recognized at that time. The president at the time believed that it was not advisable for the rules of the two alliances to be inconsistent.

Finley was clearly unwilling to budge, and in another major league recall in January of the following year, they got three years of testing time.

The Nations League bosses shrugged it off.

However, in modern baseball, the American League and the National League are no longer so distinct. Many investors even hold certain shares of different teams at the same time... I won’t go into that.

In short, the American League teams were very happy after the test period passed, at least it was friendly to the veterans.

But the League of Nations still doesn't take it seriously hahaha~ It's been half a century now, and it's still the same.

Let me mention here, the worst bullpen predicted this season.In the National League, let’s not talk about the Marlins. The second to last one is the St. Louis Cardinals hahaha~
Last year, Holland kicked the Cardinals out of the playoffs alone.

In terms of the starting lineup of the Cardinals this year, mikolas, waino, CM, wacha, flaherty, and gant are replaced by gomber according to the situation. It can be said that it is the cheapest starting lineup in the major leagues.

As far as the bullpen is concerned, Andrew Miller is of course unlucky. After all, poor investment in the contract year means little money.But the Cardinals are also known for their corrections.

For Hicks, it is still a problem of recommendation, this solution is the best terminator, sooner or later!

Hudson is a typical hard hit home run pitcher, I just hope he doesn't cuddle with dejong all day and be called gay~emmm~ too affectionate by the media.Involuntarily holding each other's heads together, watching football in the lounge or something...

I personally think that martinez+reyes should also stay in the bullpen for a while, depending on the situation and alternating with the starting lineup.

I think the Cardinals can really try a false start.

……

In addition, when it comes to the configuration, I am referring to the Cardinals for the UMBC team.

Compared with Carpenter and Goldy, first baseman Nolan is not a pujols-type big guy, but a player with normal body, power, good defense and certain foot length.

Pepe at second base corresponds to Kolten Wong, whose younger brother Joe represented China in the WBC.Also not tall, fast and very good defensively. The power is not very outstanding, but the stick is sticky.

Third baseman Nishikawa is actually a bit like a combination of Carpenter and Gyorko. He plays with IQ, has good ball selection skills, and has a stable personality.

Shortstop Kochi corresponds to dejong, and his personality should be considered very similar.They are all people who have their own little arrogance but are easy to get along with on the surface.It's just that Dejong is a top student in terms of studies and Coach is a slob... ok my fault.

Both of them are tall and have good defense. Dejong actually has power, I hope this season will be healthy and healthy.

Center field Papa is actually springer+JM. Springer has a stutter, but he is working hard to correct it. My wife is on the softball team, and I can hardly hear the difference in normal speech now. JM is a funny character.

Salvador is actually a bit of a pena, he only plays a few games every year, and he has a very good relationship with the bench, but the young pitchers are always afraid of him for some reason.

But in the pitching group, there is no specific target except that Scherzer's heterochromia eye is taken from Dr. K.

Probably because the author himself is a long-haired person?
In fact, I am very fascinated by Z Demon God. You can get to know him when you have time.

As a hitter, he was invincible in the Little League period, so it goes without saying that he later switched to a pitcher.

But the reason why he ran away from spring training because of depression was because he didn't feel happy playing baseball now?Probably because the royal family was too bad in those years, and he couldn't vote for a good record.

Thinking about degrom's winning bet, maybe God Z will feel more comfortable?
I said so much mainly because I saw in the comments that mental illness is not suitable for playing baseball~
Learn about sports psychology.

Athletes are under a lot of pressure, and there are many psychological problems of one kind or another.

Many problems in this area are not what the patients themselves want to do, they are also very helpless, which is basically unconscious.
