witesoxfan Posted July 17, 2003 Share Posted July 17, 2003 This is a toughie! I gotta go with Ed Walsh though. 40 wins and 464 innings in 1 season! Not to mention the lowest career ERA ever. 1.82? No one will ever touch that. There were some great pitchers that could do that in a season....but over a career? No chance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SI1020 Posted July 17, 2003 Share Posted July 17, 2003 RHP - Ed Walsh LHP - Billy Pierce Why can't todays bigger, stronger, handsomer and more talented pitchers pitch 464 innings? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KipWellsFan Posted July 17, 2003 Share Posted July 17, 2003 Bobby Thigpen baby! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soxplosion Posted July 17, 2003 Share Posted July 17, 2003 I voted for Black Jack. Walsh and Faber were great but they did play in the dead ball era. And Cicotte was good but because of what he did he shouldnt even be there... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
witesoxfan Posted July 17, 2003 Share Posted July 17, 2003 RHP - Ed Walsh LHP - Billy Pierce Why can't todays bigger, stronger, handsomer and more talented pitchers pitch 464 innings? Because they don't know how to pitch with a torn labrum and a f***ed up elbow. They're not preparing properly. I mean, weight lifting? Creatine? What the hell is that s***? The only way to be a great pitcher and throw 464 innings is to drink a lot of beer. Duh Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soxfest Posted July 17, 2003 Share Posted July 17, 2003 Ted Lyons not on list? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elrockinMT Posted July 17, 2003 Share Posted July 17, 2003 Ed Walsh because he pitched in an era that didn't have speciality doctors, videos, 6 relief pitchers waiting to bail you out, team trainers, player agents, etc... They just went out and battled. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SoxFan1 Posted July 17, 2003 Author Share Posted July 17, 2003 Theres only 10 spaces, I would have to have like 25 to put all the good pitchers. I could have added Lyons, Thingpen, and others, Doc White. The list goes on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CubKilla Posted July 17, 2003 Share Posted July 17, 2003 Best ever was Ed Walsh. Incredible numbers. Best I ever saw in person? BlackJack and Hoyt..... from the names that are on the list. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SoxFan1 Posted July 17, 2003 Author Share Posted July 17, 2003 What about Joel Horlen? 3.11 career ERA! Threw a no-hitter in '67. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soxplosion Posted July 17, 2003 Share Posted July 17, 2003 Ed Walsh played in the deadball era. An ERA under 3 was normal and for wins, well they pitched every other day so theyd have a lot of wins... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
