Earlier in the playoffs I noted that starters were pitching less than five innings at a very high rate. That continues, as 26 of the 66 starts made in the post-season saw starters pulled before they reached fifteen outs recorded. That’s 39.4%, the highest in the 15 years of data in the Day by Day Database. The next closest is 2007, when short starts were made in 19 of 56 games, 33.9%. That was a year with games at Coors Field. Teams are depending on their bullpens more than ever.
