It's not pussified. The game has changed since the 40s and 50s. Now, some pitchers are paid big $$$$ to get people out in the 7th, 8th, and 9th innings. Instead of having a bullpen just in case your starter sucks that day, there are specialists who are expected to pitch day in and day out. How many guys have their careers ruined because they pitch too much too early? This still happened back in your day too, you just didn't hear about it back then.

This is true. But you have pitchers Like Ryan and Glavine and smoltz and Maddox, and Holaday, that can go the distance. Bottom line is that Starting pitching is sparce compared o what it used to be.WHY DID THE GAME CHANGE?????? MONEY and PRESSURE to WIN RIGHT NOW WITH FREE Anency!!!!
