Yeah wasnt even some incredible season for a closer or anything. But I will say this. If the closer with 40 saves has 3 less wins than a starter, there is ZERO chance that starter had a chance of winning Cy Young in 1987.
Voters are smarter now.

Yup, pitcher wins are sort of viewed in similar light as RBI in that their significance as a stat isn't held as highly as in the past. If I remember correctly, Felix Hernandez winning Cy Young was a sign of the tide turning. He was incredible that year and only won 13 games.

Exactly - the year before Timmy L won “only”15 which was the lowest for a starter

And to add on to that.....it wasnt just that he only won 8 games. He lost SIXTEEN.
I dont even think in today's game, with smarter voters understanding that W/L is more of a reflection of the team, would a pitcher with an 8-16 record win the Cy Young.

Yeah I made my fantasy GM get rid of wins. You can get shelled for 10 runs and still get the W. Doesn't seem right

Bieber is unreal. He might strike out 20 today if he goes long enough.

The Country runs on PST. 1pm is perfect for a double header.

It should. The East Coast is beyond trash for sports viewing reasons.

Cmon kids, please grow some interest in your dad's love of baseball lol
