Jacob deGrom most Ks in first 200 games

What is there to say? I don't even know why you're so miffed. You made a post in which you said this:

"Only 4 pitchers reached 200 innings, because even the best are less effective with every round through the batting order, and they are pulled earlier..."

To which I suggested that perhaps a shortened season in which pitchers threw a third of their usual innings may have played a part in their brief outings the following year.

That upset you for your own reasons.

It’s not upsetting, there’s just no evidence for the contention, you acknowledge that, and it has nothing to do with the thesis: pitcher innings keep declining as it is recognized that facing the same batter gives the batter an advantage with each subsequent appearance. I have no idea what this digression is supposed to show since you don’t even argue it’s evidence of your original implication.

What evidence could I have? I'm not in the dugout am I? I'm not removing pitchers from games.

I suggested something and then told you why I was making that suggestion.

Okay. So how is this belief you have, with no evidence, relevant to the thesis?
