There is a better chance there is two on the same team. Then 2 in the whole league. This... This is mathematically impossible. I think he meant there's a better chance that there are two on the same team than that there are only two in the whole league.
But I disagree - Verlander led the majors in 2019 with 223 IP. In 2018 it was Scherzer with 220. In 2017 it was Sale with 214. Only about 10 guys had seasons of 210 IP+ over thosee three years. If every pitcher is held back to about 90% of normal usage, that would be enough for us to see ~0 200 IP seasons. It's not too hard to imagine that.

Ooooooh ok I get it. I thought he meant there would be two on the same team and that's it or something. I get it now. Anyway, I'mma shut this thread down since, y'know, the season. Feel free carry on the innings pitched topic elsewhere though.
