Arrr, matey! World Series ace David Wells be takin' a hearty jab at that scallywag MLB Commissioner Rob Manfred in a chinwag with OutKick's Ricky Cobb on the mornin’ of the seventh day! Aye, the tides of baseball be shiftin’!
Arrr, me hearties! Gather 'round as I spin ye a yarn 'bout a retired World Series champion, David Wells, who once hurled for the mighty New York Yankees. This scallywag took a jibe at the landlubber, Rob Manfred, the commissioner of MLB, callin' him the "worst commissioner in the game!" Aye, Wells be complainin' that Manfred be changin' the sacred game too much, especially when it comes to them pitch counts.In a recent ramble on "The Ricky Cobb Show," Wells lamented how pitchin' nowadays be nothin' like the glory days when he tossed over a hundred pitches like it were nothin' in the 1999 season. "These lads don’t even be playin’ long toss!" he roared. "They be all about analytics and zones!" Back in Wells' day, pitchers had to be crafty and savvy, not just follow some fancy stats. He be callin' for a return to good ol' pitchin' strength rather than followin' these newfangled rules.
With Manfred at the helm since 2015, baseball has seen pitch clocks and crackdowns on sticky substances. But Wells be sayin', "Why mess with success?" So, raise a tankard for the old ways, and let’s hope the game finds its way back to the high seas of its glory! Arrr!
