from The Sean Salisbury Show

Looking back on the 2024 MLB season, an interesting note has been made about the entire league which seems to have raised a few eyebrows. There were only a total of 28 complete games in the 2024 MLB season making that a record low since the year 1975. Referencing former Astros pitcher Nolan Ryan and how he finished his career with a total of 222 complete games 38 of which were with the Astros, Sean and Brian pose there may be a development issue regarding the pitchers around the league following majority of frontline ace starters, can only pitch half a game. Taking a moment with callers and aiming to identify what's been the trending issue, the guys share a few ideas on what may has caused such a drop in this specific category in baseball and how does the league go about fixing the issue.
