BTW: If you don't listen to FanGraphs Audio, we usually have some really good guests. Last week was Andrew Miller, and this Friday will feature a Royals pitcher.

4.79 ERA for 2006 Cardinals starters may be worse

this is FanGraphs -- we dont talk ERA

We don't have splits that far back

would have been fun to see the dogers-astros world series so that they could show a split screen of dusty and mark prior and remind us that dusty would regularly have prior throw 130 pitches per start
AvatarAlex Sonty
10:35
Prior avg'd 113+ pitches per start in 2003.

I think the Reds of 1975 had the worst staff
AvatarDan Szymborski
10:35
The rotation had a 3.62 ERA which was right about a 100 ERA+ for them

that Dusty/Prior comment just made my shoulder hurt
AvatarDan Szymborski

Cardinals starters were a 93 ERA+

My cat's already had dinner but is meowing at me again. What does she want?

You to go to sleep, so she can eat your face.

Remember when Mark Prior was seen as having perfect mechanics?
AvatarAlex Sonty
10:37
Because he did
AvatarDan Szymborski
10:37
97 ERA+ for 2015 KC starters
AvatarDavid Laurila

Re the '75 Reds, Gullet and Nolan were pretty good, and Billingham was a fantastic postseason pitcher.

speaking of cats -- Dan, update please

Steve Stone could tell he was pitching hurt in 2004 because he couldn't throw strikes.
10:38
Prior, that is

I haven't been upstairs since like 6 PM, so I have no idea what cats are doing. I haven't heard any shrieking violence though
AvatarAlex Sonty

But Prior's mechanics were like art.

That inverted W seems to put a lot of stress in the elbow.

1987 Twins looks like a pretty bad starting staff for a WS team too. Running a 4.47 ERA back in 1987 is not very good.

Oct 8, 2019 — The 1959 World Series was the first in which a starting pitcher — for both teams — failed to toss a complete game. Dodgers relief pitcher

What the Astros did 4 years ago was bad, but am I missing something? Why is it still an issue? Even beyond that, it confuses me when cheating without being caught is often seen as a savvy and smart by the same ppl who can’t seem to get over cheating and being caught

People dont' like cheating

Do you think teams' increased stolen base rate in the post-season presages any increase in stolen base attempts for 2022?

No

Switched to seltzer water after an early-inning adult beverage, but may need to go back to beer if I hope to survive the rest of this game/chat. We need some Astros action to liven things up.

I really want a taco or a burrito now, but I live in suburban Ohio, so ain't nothing delivering now
10:41
I wish I hadn't made a taco analogy

if someone pulled a jack morris in 2021 and pitched 10 innings in the world series, would we celebrate it or would we think it was unwise given the # of times through the order?
AvatarDan Szymborski
10:41
Oh, we'd celebrate it

I ate a chicken burrito for dinner
