Just looking at ERA - Home vs Away, Koufax' peak years significantly (over .50) better at Home. Career totals for Grove...Home ERA 3.04, Away ERA 3.05
Then I looked at Bob Gibson, Career ERA Home 3.08, Away 2.76 And Gibson's historic year 1968 Home ERA 1.41, Away 0.81 Wonder what Gibby's numbers would look like if he pitched where Koufax did - Dodger Stadium. Just a note - mid 1930's NL league batting average about .275 and mid 1960's NL league batting average about .251 Koufax was indeed awesome, props, kudos and the whole lot. But dig a little deeper in the stats, Grove was the man. And my opinion of Gibson just got better. |

- Gibson had a 2.14 ERA in his losses. I am still trying to wrap my head around the fact that he had 9 losses in 1968. - He had a four-game losing streak. He had a 1.87 ERA during that streak. - His ERA after the Sept 2nd game was 0.99. - His shortest starts were 7 IP, in each of his first two starts. After that, 8 IP minimum in every start, including 11 twice, and 12 once. - Never once lifted in the middle of an inning. So never once knocked out of a game. - Tied the record for fewest appearances (34) while throwing 300+ innings. Last edited by Tabe; 07-14-2020 at 03:19 PM. |
