saved $$ today.
Was going to play The Indians today. I also liked The Marlins and over, but I had a nasty feeling today and layed off completely.
The picks were 0-3. Sometimes it pays not to play.:D

Walter the " Train " Johnson took him with room to spare on " Shutouts "

P.S. - His figures are bloated by being feet closer and right on top of a higher mound [ for so long ]

Heck, he got better after the distance was moved.
Legendary Cy Young, the winner of more victories than any other pitcher, was a master of control. In his first few seasons, Young was a bit wild but when the pitchers' mound was moved back to it's present 60' 6" his walk totals per game were truly awesome. Many pitchers had trouble adjusting to the change in the distance from the mound to the plate (an additional 10 feet). Young's walk total went down, he walk on average only one player a game. Historian Lee Allen wrote, " There have been faster pitchers but Cy Young's control was so unerring and he was so tireless that he just kept throwing as if he were systematically chopping down a tree".
In 1901, he left the National League ( for a higher salary ) and joined the newly formed American League's Boston Red Sox. In Young's first year he was 33-10, an ERA of 1.62. He walked only 37 batters in 371 innings.
In 1902, Cy Young had a 32-11 record, 2.15 ERA. In 1903 he was 28-9, and again only walked 37 batters in 341 innings. The Red Sox captured the pennant and Young pitched in four the world series games against the Pittsburgh Pirates. He won two games to lead the Red Sox to become the World Champs.
Cy Young had six different seasons in which his ERA was under 2.00. On June 30, 1908, at the age of 41, he pitched his third no-hitter.Comment
