Arrr! World Series matey Curt Schilling be sayin’ pitch counts be a scallywag’s curse, not fit for buccaneers!
2025-03-28
Arrr, me hearties! Former baseball buccaneer Curt Schilling be spoutin’ his thoughts on the cursed pitch counts fer pitchers, all while settin’ sail on Fox News’ “The Will Cain Show.” Methinks he’d rather walk the plank than count every toss like a scallywag! Ha!
Avast, me hearties! Gather 'round as we spin a yarn about the former World Series captain, Curt Schilling, who be raisin' a ruckus 'bout them pitch counts in the grand game o' baseball as the 2025 season be settin' sail.On the day o' Friday, Schilling, a true legend of the diamond, took to "The Will Cain Show" on the Fox News Channel to share his salty thoughts. When asked if pitch counts be treasure or trouble, he shook his head like a scallywag scornin' a dry rum. The swashbucklin’ star declared it a bad omen, all thanks to the gold doubloons bein' thrown about. With young bucks like Paul Skenes snaggin' nearly $10 million from the college seas, teams be keepin' their prized arms on tight pitch counts, lest they ruin their fortunes.
"Every time I see a pitcher trottin’ off the mound after the sixth, I feel a wee bit of acid reflux," he quipped, eyeing the state of the game with a pirate's disdain. O' course, managers be pullin' their best lads quicker than a shark on a seal if they sniff 100 pitches, even if they be on the brink of a glorious no-hitter.
One fateful night in the 2018 World Series, the Dodgers' captain, Dave Roberts, pulled Rich Hill when he was barely breakin' a sweat, and the rest be history! Ahoy, the game be changin' faster than a cannonball's flight! So hoist yer tankards and toast to the madness o’ modern MLB!
