Pitching is so different now that those old time records are also unattainable. Winning 20 games is somewhat rare anymore. Imagine doing that 25 straight seasons and still be 11 wins away from Cy Young’s record.
So really, what do the records in baseball mean if no one can break them?
Given that, I don’t have an issue with this.
