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 ?

I watched a Netflix documentary about this and it was awesome. There's some small merit to how the baseball has changed over the years, making it slightly easier to travel further. And it does make sense, since most common fans would rather see a 7-6 game vs a 2-1 game.
