THE CHAD INNINGS EATER | Baseball Bits

_________________________________________________________
The Chad Innings Eater. It was once a silly virgin vs chad meme I made on Twitter, but now it has come to life as an episode of Baseball Bits, a Foolish Baseball production. Innings Eater used to be be an insult, now it's a celebration of pitchers like Bobo Newsom, Joe Niekro, Livan Hernandez, Mike Leake, Rick Porcello, Cole Irvin and of course, Jordan Lyles.
This video is both about Jordan Lyles and not about Jordan Lyles, as Chad Innings Eater is a temporary status for most. Sure, I'll make sure to celebrate the Jordan Lyles Rangers, Jordan Lyles Orioles, and Jordan Lyles Royals years we've seen so far in the 2020s, but the Chad Innings Eater really isn't one pitcher -- it's a lifestyle.
There will also be a vocab review. Ace pitcher is different from workhorse pitcher and workhorse pitcher is different from innings eater pitcher. How much of a Gigachad you are about it is up to you. Most pitchers can throw a lot of innings when things are going well, but Chad Innings Eaters get outs even when it isn't easy. So hopefully we can answer the question: do innings pitched matter? Even if they're bad innings, the Third Time Through Order?

The greatest sabermetric of them all: the understanding that innings are outs and you need 27 outs to win a game

[@cantripleplays]

@@FoolishBaseball wait a minute.. innings aren’t outs. Innings are 3 outs. Wait.. they are outs. Oh no.. what does this mean for LeBron James’ legacy next on ESPN

[@youstinklolgotakeashower]

​​​@@cantripleplaysLeBron has never pitched an inning of MLB baseball, which means he has never made any outs. But, this also means he has never given up a run or even a hit! Furthermore, he may never have gotten an at-bat or a hit, but this also means he has never made an out! Clearly, this means that LeBron is a far superior basketball player than plumber Jordan. Join us next week, where we discuss the recent news that has come out about LeBron drinking his coffee with cream and no sugar, and why it means he could probably be a better soccer player than Messi.

The Texas rangers have a history of very good innings eaters. Back in their world series years, they had an entire rotation of them. The chad in the group was Colby Lewis, who averaged about 200 per season while throwing in the upper 80s and having an era slightly better than League average. Interesting Lee enough, the Texas rangers, in one of his last season's, went 19-13 in games he started and he personally one like 18 of them.

[@valpix7007]

Like Niekro, a knuckleballer. And some of those garbage innings were huge too in the 2004 Red Sox ALCS comeback. People forget he was supposed to start Game 4 (and probably Game 7 as well, since Lowe started both) but volunteered to sacrifice it to finish the blowout loss in Game 3.

[@GK_2734]

Watching Lyles pitch every 5 games is always interesting. I know he's gonna go 6+ innings, and I know ~5 of them are gonna be great, but I also know that in the 6th or 7th inning he's gonna allow 6 runs, and I don't know how to feel.

[@morimo11]

This is exactly why I don’t understand the value of an innings eater. Like I legitimately do not get the concept.

[@liguy181]

@@morimo11 Honestly I've watched the video a couple of times now and I still don't know Bailey's exact conclusion, but I would say that the innings eater is the "Ol' Reliable" of the pitching staff. They're serviceable enough where you know they won't get injured, they won't give up too many runs (though it'll still be more than actually good pitchers), and their games won't turn into bullpen games. No team is gonna have a rotation of 5 workhorses, so having an innings eater pitch every 5 days eases the load for the bullpen and the rest of the team

[@alexisborden3191]

@@morimo11 Basically its the SP equivalent of a long reliever, you have a long reliever for when the game is kind of a blowout, you're up by 6 or whatever, so you don't wanna use your good pitchers yet, so your glad if you can get 3 or 4 innings from this guy even if he might give up 2 or 3 runs, and then if it ends up being close you can bring in your good relievers. Basically any Innings Eater start is gonna be a game you don't need to use your bullpen. If the game is lost, its lost, its fine because you didn't use your good arms if you used any. But if its close you only need 1 or 2 innings from your relievers instead of 4 or 5 good ones if its close all game. Its valuable to have a guy who can just throw innings that don't matter at somewhat league average quality, he saves your above average pitchers for more critical points in other games.

[@orthanus]

@@morimo11 There are 4 limiting factors in baseball - scarcity of talent, player stamina/roster slots and money. The Chad innings eater solves all of these. There are more players that can throw lots of innings than generational SPs. An innings eater is basically a SP and reliever in 1 slot. And they're cheaper. Bailey has always been big on baseball as the ultimate team game - because no matter your strategy your best SP only starts 20% of games and your best batter only 11% of at bats. Compare that to other sports where you can build a team to focus on one or two star talents so that 60-70% of plays go through them. Think of the chad innings eater as a buffing character in a video game. If they give you 95% production, but make the other 4 starters 2% better because they get better relievers (because they're better rested), you're a 3% better team.

[@tischish]

If there is one thing I've learned from your videos, it's that even though the Rangers haven't really been competitive the last decade, they've made roster decisions that have really allowed our current young talent to learn and come into their own with time & shine.

[@craigwheeler4760]

The ultimate Chad innings-eater that I have seen was Jamie Moyer. Jamie would throw 200-plus innings per season, yet had an era about league-average most of the time. He also somehow got people out through an 85 miles per hour.

Starting pitchers who can pitch quality starts are worth more now than in the past because most teams run a 6 man starting rotation, meaning if your starters can't give 6+ innings consistently you will burn through your bullpen before the all star break.
