22-19 going into this series. Kudos to Larry Scully for what he’s done to improve this pitching staff since February. Five pitchers with an under 5.5 ERA. Team ERA about 6.6…slightly better than oppponents’ ERA.

When I was coaching high school baseball 40 to 50 years ago, our coaching “staff” was one or two guys. Pitcher development kind of had the same goals, trying to find a pitch that was successful and controllable and repeatable. How we got there was trial and error and regular throwing.
So I think our goals were basically the same, but none of the technology or mathematical diagnosis. This is a very refined system now.

This (to me) is where the math department (forgive my ignorance if there’s a more precise name, should offer internships for top students by partnering with the baseball team. There’s big money in pro sports doing this.
Edit: is this need the same in softball? I would imagine it would be but I don’t know enough about it to be certain

I have been frozen in time stuck in the 1990’s.
That said, I read the article and see no mention of collaborating with sports teams. That was what I was suggesting. Is that happening? If so, terrific. If not, maybe it should be.
The streak is over Miami loses 10-2
