In response to "That's one way that ERA+ is helpful." by the wrong element, bad guy

Take out that 1.12 (when the league was 2.99) and his next best # is 164.

Pedro had a 291 in 2000, a 243 the year prior...he had 5 years with an ERA better than half the league average.

His career mark is 154; or just slightly behind Gibson's 2nd best year.

the 1968 1.12 ERA is the outlier of which all other outliers is measured by. Shit, they had to change the rules that offseason becuase of how pitcher-friendly that season was.

That 164 was the year after the outlier year. - the wrong element, bad guy May 28, 16:01 2
- Yeah, let's see....274 / 291 or 258 / 164. I'm taking the guy who was nearly 1/3rd the league ERA two years running. -- nm - Will Hunting May 28, 16:06
- If anything important rides on it, i'm taking the guy who was best. - Will Hunting May 28, 16:04
