That is quite true I forgot about that. That probably changes the numbers a bit

I don't think the Brewers would even be towards the middle of the list, but I think our pitchers have generally been better at going 5-6 innings since basically Gasser was promoted.

The first sentence is true.  However, they've spread those bullpen innings out among 22 different relief pitchers (not including position players).  That's why the stats that I posted are more relevant.  It's not the same eight relievers getting all of those innings. I count about 78 innings by relievers who are not on the 26-man roster or 15-day IL (including Vieira, Uribe, Herget, White, Junk, Hernandez, Bukaskas, etc.).

@TURBO - not cherry-picking, this is why it's not an issue.  You have to factor the number of pitchers that it's spread across.

Convert to .CSV, export to Excel/Google Sheets/etc., add a column and do a simple calculation, delete anyone averaging >2.5IP/appearance.

Yep. I looked earlier today. The top 6 relievers (Koenig, Peguero, Milner, Megill, Hudson, Payamps) have something like 240. A lot but maybe just a bit above average. I think youre right, its more to do with the 100% effort every time and high velo.

Can conversions to .csv be done free?

Yeah probably somewhere around 20-22 in innings by starters.

Hi, I'm Rick to help you Trevor.

I'm with Oxy on this one. Perhaps not a conspiracy, but phantom-like injuries are an easy way to stockpile arms on your roster without having to release/option guys. They've got a number of players getting ready to come off the IL. It's a good time to rest a few arms before the push begins.

We know teams do this. After all, it's why Eppler got suspended for the whole season.

So long as the player/agent are on-board with the rest, I see no reason for them to be considered "phantom".

With all of this said, it is entirely possible that yes, all of the injuries are completely legitimate.

Yes.  I had to copy/paste to Excel/Google Sheets (make the first column really, really wide first) then in the Data tab use Text to Columns.  B-R tells you how to do it.
