Love JV, but you're basically a step above pulling people from the stands to play. Just move the team. American sports need relegation. |

Venters started in the same way that Sergio Romo has been starting this year: they're using him as a reliever but having him pitch an inning at the start of the game instead of at the end. They weren't actually desperate enough to make him a real starter... it's just a new strategy they're trying. We're probably going to see more and more of it in the coming years. |

It's not a terrible strategy, but it only makes sense if you don't have really good starters. If you have Max Scherzer he's starting and hopefully going 8 or 9 innings. When you start with an opener you're conceding that the "starter" in the game isn't going to go 8 or 9. Not that you need this explained. |

I forget who / what team I heard toying with the notion, but basically if youre going to have starters only going 5-6 innings nightly, why not go to a 4 man rotation giving you an extra arm in the bullpen. If youre only going 5-6 innings / 80+ pitches you shouldn't need the full rest. |
