NO HITTER ALERT - Just had my 2nd no hitter in my Greatest Teams Replay. Tommy Bridges (BY) of the 1940 Tigers no hit the 1954 Indians & won 8-0 in game #826. It was Bridges 2nd shutout & he moved to 9-1. Bridges entered the game with a 5.16 ERA & a hits/9 ratio of 10.51.
In 1980 I made 37 starts and threw 251 innings. That is an average of just under 7 innings per start. Average start this year is just over 5 innings. The game isn’t better or worse. It’s different. It’s a MAX effort era. Injuries are frequent and serious. Time to rethink pitching
First, I would like to thank God for the opportunity he has given me to play this game. While this is not how I thought my time in Anaheim would end, I am truly grateful for the memories and friendships that have been created over the past 10 years. Thank you to my teammates
BY THE NUMBERS: I am at the midpoint of my Greatest Teams Replay. Each team has played the other in a 4 game set for a total of 76 games each. Below is a list of "interesting" numbers from my replay:
