It's still the same argument. Obviously the 12 times you've seen it occur otherwise invalidate the 40 thousand other MLB games that have taken place which show no correlation.

Red Sox manager John Farrell diagnosed with Lymphoma
Fuckin' cancer, man.
If there's one positive, he said he has a "very treatable" form of cancer.

Plus with the expanded roster I would say starting pitching matters less when you can have a shit ton of quality players out of the bullpen

Carlos Beltran is on fucking fire lately, after looking like he was 55 before the All-Star break.
In relation to the earlier argument, SP is starting matter less & less with the emergence of dominant bullpens. May be the difference down the stretch in the East, although I'd still prefer not to play the Blue Jays.

Obviously teams continue to trade for top flight aces to solidify their rotation are just retarded.

Nobody is saying pitching is irrelevant. Teams trade for productive position players as well. Again if you have good pitching you might be better off getting another bat than an upgrade at pitching. It goes back to the balance thing.

That's gotta suck. "Hey, make this spot start so our rotation can get an extra day of rest." Then that happens.
Hope he's okay. That was a fair bit of blood dripping onto his arm.

I still remember the worst facial injury I ever saw in a baseball game, but I'm starting to think I imagined it. It was mid-90's, a guy on the Braves named Danny Bautista took a fastball right to the nose/eye. He dropped like he got shot with a cannonball, and when he sat up, blood was just pouring out like a faucet. I tried to find it years later, but no mention of it anywhere.
Success, I'm not hallucinating!
Atlanta Braves outfielder Danny Bautista, who was hit in the face with a pitch Thursday night, will undergo surgery Saturday to repair his broken nose and the bone around his left eye.
Bautista will be out two to three weeks, the club said Friday. The Braves called up utility infielder Ed Giavanola to take his place on the roster.
Bautista was hit by a pitch from Jeff Parrett in the eighth inning of Atlanta's 3-0 victory over the St. Louis Cardinals.
I guess the extent of my internet detective work at the time was "No Youtube? Nothing on Wikipedia? I guess it never happened."

Those are some of the scariest sports injuries. The most recent ones beyond the Yankees injury (sucks to be a spot start and that happen) were the Brandon McCarthy and Aroldis Chapman hits. The Chapman one was especially bad. I can't believe he only missed maybe six weeks from it. Dude was writhing on the ground afterwards. For a while.
