NCsoxfan Posted May 7, 2005 Share Posted May 7, 2005 With our pitching staff currently 17-3 I believe, I was wondering what the ML record is for most W's by a starting staff. Aside from that, which team in the last 10-15 years has compiled the most wins in a year? I would have to guess Atlanta of the early 90's? Is it possible for our starters to win 75 games?

nitetrain8601 Posted May 7, 2005 Share Posted May 7, 2005 QUOTE(rangercal @ May 6, 2005 -> 11:38 PM) better than losses Well I'm talking purely about wins. I actually think he's been doing great and have been a supporter of him and El Duque because it seems like a lot of people won't cut them any slack.

ZoomSlowik Posted May 7, 2005 Share Posted May 7, 2005 I think there have been two starting staffs in the past that had 4 20 game winners. I'm almost 100 percent sure Cleveland did it in like the 70's (no clue who), and I think the Orioles did it back when Jim Palmer was heading their staff. Even considering they only had 4 man rotations back then, that's 80 wins, which is a hell of a total to try to pass. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Palmer, Dave McNally, Mike Cuellar, and Pat Dobson were the starters that accomplished it, I believe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
witesoxfan Posted May 7, 2005 Share Posted May 7, 2005 Technically, it was 81 wins for the '71 Orioles pitching staff Palmer - 20-9 2.68 ERA Dobson - 20-8, 2.90 Cuellar - 20-9, 3.08 McNally - 21-5, 2.89 An interesting little tidbit...McNally threw the fewest amount of innings of the starters(224.3 compared to 282, 282.3, and 292.3 from top to bottom of the 3 respectfully), and he also started 7 fewer games than Palmer and 8 fewer than Dobson and Cuellar...yet ended up with more wins.
