49ers won't go anywhere until they get rid of Shanahan. Guy's bad juujuu. He's never had a lead he couldn't blow.

Starting pitchers only going four or five innings is going to kill the bullpen.

Dodgers are going to have to win a lot of slow pitch softball type games if the starters don't improve.

The starting pitching is a mystery right now but the back end has been solid lately. I look around the league, not a single 100 game winner for the first time in a while. Should be interesting.

It's crazy to think in the 80's and 90's pitchers were going 8 plus innings, then the reliever goes in to finish off the 9th. Giving up 5 or 6 runs through 8 was pretty much the norm and throwing 120 or more was the same. Babe Ruth pitched 14 innings to win the world series in 1916 and ate 11 hotdogs too.

Eventually there won't really be a starter. Every game will effectively be a bullpen game.
