Nobody ever had too many of them (pitchers).
No, I think the pitching today has more depth.
It feels good to be able to contribute, eat innings, provide some rest for the bullpen.
During my time, there might have been one pitcher or two that were top pitchers on a team. Teams that won maybe had three, but today they have a lot of depth. They have a lot of long relievers, short relievers, and the strategy is different.
I don't try for strikeouts, but batters just swing and miss. I'd exchange strikeouts for more innings. As a starter, my job is to go deep into the game. When you get strikeouts, you throw a lot of pitches and sometimes you come out early.
Win or lose, I've been fortunate to be able to pitch deep enough into games to get decisions.
There's not many guys that can pitch at the top of the rotation floating around the league.
If multiple starting pitchers underperform at the same time, it's always going to leave you in a stretch where it's hard to play better than .500 baseball.
