This is wild

Post by Captain 97 » Tue Jul 14, 2026 3:25 pm

I was looking through the M's Career pitching leaders and there are literally 5 guys tied for first place with a 3.42 ERA in an M's Uniform. What are the odds on that? Also pretty crazy that 4 of the top 10 are in the current rotation and they are a game under .500 :lol:

So? Woo was the career leader before this year then. Hell, maybe Castillo was! LOL

One home game and Woo is back on top...followed by one road game and it's a five-way tie again.

500 innings required to qualify. My screenshot function doesn't work, but here are the bottom ten:

1. Dave Fleming 4.73
2. Gil Meche 4.65
3. Jeff Fassero 4.62
4. Glenn Abbott 4.54
5. Joel Pineiro 4.48
6. John Halama 4.46
7. Chris Bosio 4.43
8. Aaron Sele 4.39
9. Mike Moore 4.38
10. Ryan Franklin 4.34

Very surprised to see Fleming at the top (bottom) of the list. I know he fell apart after he had a great rookie season and a respectable second season, but my first guess would have been Mike Parrott who just missed the innings cutoff (4.89 ERA in 490.2 innings), or Abbott if I knew Parrott was short on innings. We could actually call Meche the worst because he never pitched in the Kingdome.

For 50 years it doesn't seem like much of a list.

You'd be amazed at how meager some lists can be given long histories. Here's a doozy: the all-time leader for home runs hit at Dodger Stadium over 65 seasons is only 130, by Eric Karros.

Yes Woo was the leader before this year. Castillo was at 3.46 in an M's uniform coming into the season.

ERA+ is a different story.
Garcia and Moyer really got their ERAs inflated by the steroid era. And Randy pitching in the Kingdome probably hurt him a ton.
