It sure seems that way !
A couple nights ago I was half watching a LDS game I forget who ? But something sparked my memory on Don Gullett. He had a career 3.11 ERA. I don't remember the stats exactly so these are guesstimates, something like averaged 7 CG a season, 3 or 4 of his seasons were over 200 innings. I think a ouple were over 225. What the hell happened ?
What's an average innings now like 130 ? And if you look back at these guys Gullett is by no means alone in career ERA with a ton of more innings pitched than the guys of today.
Are the balls juiced that much ?
