I wasn't around for Gibby and '68. But I've been watching baseball since the mid '70's and what a joke pitching has become. I've heard people blame everything from steroids, to the dh, or the small ballparks being built today. And while these are all factors the real culprit is the pitch count. That's right everyone involved cries if the pitcher throws more than 100 pitches. What a joke! Teams are using 11, 12, and even 13 pitchers now when there isn't even enough legitimate Major League caliber pitchers for 8 per team. I miss the days when pitchers earned the right to finish what they started and racked up CG's. I'm sick of the game being stopped after every batter so another reliever can be brought in. It just kills the flow of the game.
