Bob Welch's 1990 season

[Rock Strongo]

Will we ever see numbers like this again? not peripheral SABR stats...but these...

27-6
.818 wining %
2.95 ERA (say a sub 3.00 ERA with the above numbers)
35 starts
2 ND

13-3 first half
14-3 second half

i say, no. not in this age of short starts and holding guys back on innings/pitch counts. interestingly, he threw only 3,234 pitches that year.

92.4 per, nothing excessive...some would say even light.

How do you lose 9 games with a 1.12 ERA.................WTF

 

[broncosmitty]

What's the standout stats? The lack of no decisions?


Scherzer only has two right now. And better numbers across the board.

27 wins

27 wins

Rickey Hendy, Big Mac, Canseco and Eck might've been a bit of a factor in that.


The As were kinda good.

That was a great record, those A's teams in the late 80's early 90's were quite good, to bad they only won 1 World Series.

 

[Pure Steel]

He also sang Ebony Eyes which peaked at #14 in 1978.....

They won the wrong one. 3 years in a row they pissed me off.

Denny McLain was 31-6 ... but McLain was a punk ... Bob Gibson was a certified badass!!!

I was at this game during Welch's streak. Jim Palmer appreciation night in Baltimore.

The thing I remember most is Canseco getting pissed at called strikes and swinging so hard he fell across the plate.

Gibson and Brock were complete asses to the fans though. My uncle who was in the sport world got my cousin on the field at a Mets game to meet his idol Cardinals. gibson and Brock both went straight to security and started yelling about little punk kids being on the field.




You must have lost an AVI bet with that Smelly Burnt Foot fellow.

Atleast they didn't destroy people's retirement like that fat turd McLain.

This is true. Now stop confusing the issue with facts.
