Asserts r Comment on Young Pitchers I I DETROIT April 21 Manager Manager Jennings will this season n ba have havo o. o an unusually large large number of or young younS' pitchers many of whom appear almost goot good enough to work regularly regularly reg reg- but but who cannot hope to to get on tho the regular every ery fourth da day stuff tuff Hughie will want to test these pitchers before American league batters Just as soon soon and Just as often as ho can If the pitchers are going to be able to stick he wants wanta to know It at once If It the they do doStick dostick dostick stick ho he wants ants to give o them Just as much work as he possibly can It would seem that under these circumstances circumstances circum circum- stances stanc s he ho would quId do either of or two things It might app appear or that he would send the youngsters into games that bad had already been won or or lost Jost by the tho Tigers If Ie one of the re regular ular pitchers had tho the game rl re refrigerated refrigerated re- re in would go ono one of or the recruits for a few rew Innings Or if one of ot the tho regulars regu regu- lars lam had lo lost lont t tho the game g in would go bO one one- I o of the kl kids s. s Again It would seem that with several se very good young men who cant can't possibly got get enough regular work with the club HughIe Hughle would yank ank any regular hurler to whom the tho o opposing batters seemed to tobe tobe tobe be getting But things will not be beas as they seem Hughie Hughle will not send In tho the youngsters to finish games mes to give gle them experience He doesn't believe that pitching a 0 few fow Innings when winning or losing makes any difference or or gives a a pitcher an any val val- 1 experience A pitcher to get experience of or value must start a game gane and work out hIs hla own salvation sal said Jennings the way vay I want to test test- my mv young oung fellows 1 want them to start th their lr own games and win or 01 lose them for tor themselves Neither will Hughie Hughle yank ank pitchers from the tho box the tho coming season eason an any more quickly than he ha has in the past has little patience with the tho home pitcher whom the opposition seems to to havo have solved Jennings has alwa always o left JeU a pitcher In n the tho box oven O when ho W was 8 being pounded Just as long Jong as he possibly could Ho He ha haa dono done this because ho lie has bas believed It tho only a way to dohl do This hl idea of Jerking out a 0 pitcher 1 every time the batters balters get a few fe hits oft off him In succession or every eer time he pasties passes a batter or two to Is la all bosh said Mid Hughie Hughle You hear that tha t such and such a manager manager manager man man- ager removed d a 0 pitcher when ho lie saw a whim him weakening Big league pitchers In dont don't weaken eaken unless the they are all In If It the they are are I In good condition they are lire Just about abouL as strong at the end of at the tho nine Innings a as they arc are at lh beginning It isn't a 1 ca case of or the pitchers weakenIng weaken weaken- fn ing but o of the batters having a raU rally 1 When a club of oC big leaguers sta start rt a batting batting bat bat- Un ting rally there are only a few fow of r the greatest pitchers Jn n n the league who can stop them The They are not hitting the pitcher her because he Is an any less effective c than before but because the they ha have hac started their rall rally which c cannot be stopped J If It tho the Tigers Thors had a man like Walter Johnson or Ed Eda Walsh a Ish when he was at athis athis his hits best beet It Il ml might ht be well welt to out the pitchers pitchers' of ot ordinary ability when tho the op 01 opposition opposition position starts a ra rally I b Washington ca can n send a big strong fellow like Johnson in for a few tew Innings at an any time and he Is la enough better than any am other pitcher pilcher the they have navo to stop that rally that the b bat batters bat bat- t. t t teis rs have started Ed Walsh wa was able to todo todo todo do the tile came earne thing In years ea past There ia Is some Home sense 8 In yanking ankh a pitcher when you tu havo hoO an unbeatable pitcher to put pul Into his V If Ir one of tho tIm regulars has a couple bf f men on bases baseD Joh Johnson on can be bo u lI used pd d to stop toP them from scoring and he Ito CT very often orten Is But If the theman theman man marx whom you ou have to send In Is Ja no better better bet bet- ter than the thc one pitching what I Is tho the wee ute foot Of CO there ar are i s when a Ii pitcher cant can't get anything thing on tho the ball baH I Then there arc aro times when a a. pitcher has lae everything he needs and yet he Is hit hard and often You may take him out quickly then because e you know that that thatIs Is not his hla day A pitcher pilcher with the ability of ot Walter Johnson Ed Walsh Plank Flank or orWood orWood orWood Wood couldn't win wn a a. game if he ho started on ono one of ot those off ocr da days 8 of or hi his I dislike v very ry much to take tako out a pitcher Just because he happens to be hit hita a little because It undermines his greatest st st. asset set his confidence It is especially bad to havo have to take out If It a youngster you ou let him stay stat in the box and work out his own salvation sal he Is much bettor better off oft He cant can't be any worse worse off ort than at the tile time when he is tak taken n out because e he Is 18 beaten then But if IC he wins his hl game by good pitching or oven j If It his batters hit out a victory for him he hc has a great deal more confidence that he can win the next net time the hitters begin to find rind himAs himAs himAs him As a general thing It Is not a a. case of or pitchers weakening but batters rallying that causes a lot of uC hitting If the fans tans would remember this there here would be le less lessof lessof s of that doom fill cry Take rake him out him out Undoubtedly many man managers take their pitchers out at t the first sign of a batting rally as Manager Jennings would say nay rather than thab pitchers her weakening to cater to the crowd which always ahva's wants a hurler decked Just as soon lIoon as h he be is being hit at all freel freely Jennings refuses to sacrifice his hie better leUel Judgment to the tho something that taken takeR a great leat deal of or coura courage c. c There I is probably a psychological effect in th tire th-c chan changing n of or pitchers that most managers count upon the same as they count upon the tho p psychological effect of using a pinch pine hitter What mat this Is la worth against a a. club that is 16 out for tor hits Is of or course a question Jennings thinks it is worth but little HUle |
