Mind you, considering the setup of the league, going for a pitcher made sense.
- Seasons were 38 games.
- Teams were allowed to carry one (1) official starting pitcher, plus up to two relievers/backups, on their active roster.
- Literally everyone involved in the founding of the league, from Commissioner Brugman to José Sánchez, who announced his retirement at age 40 before he'd even swung a bat for the #VaquerosBAY :vaqueros:, knew that pitching, not hitting, would dominate the early :lnp:.
TONIGHT:
What, you thought we forgot? You must be new around here.
The #VaquerosBAY are (barely) not favored to break the #PotrosSIS, but they'd better—otherwise, they'll find themselves bucked off in a real hurry.
