That upset you for your own reasons.

It’s not upsetting, there’s just no evidence for the contention, you acknowledge that, and it has nothing to do with the thesis: pitcher innings keep declining as it is recognized that facing the same batter gives the batter an advantage with each subsequent appearance. I have no idea what this digression is supposed to show since you don’t even argue it’s evidence of your original implication.
