“No sir, you never have enough pitching. Just when you think you have it, it is usually the time when you suddenly find yourself with pitchers who can never start a game.”
The more baseball changes, the more it stays the same. Said in 1940 by Bill Synpp in Synpp’s Sports Snacks, it has since become a popular refrain. Don’t worry about that fact that it seems like there are too many pitchers for too little spots, that will soon solve itself. That’s the message of that saying.
The Cardinals certainly tested that message in the 1940s.
