Mark Buerhle > Jack Morris?

Win No. 212 is in the books.

7 IP, 2 ER.

13-5 for the hottest team in baseball, with a 3.31 ERA over 159 innings, I believe.

 

Don Sutton track.

 

If he pitches in the World Series this year, it's going to become a big storyline.

 

Fucking Nationals

 

213

 

In all seriousness ... would another World Series win advance his HOF cause? I know it's supposed to be the whole body of work, but postseason success never hurts. And it's possible if this Blue Jays team keeps crushing the ball.

 

How many guys who never won 20 games in a season are in the HOF?

 

I think it would if he won a couple games in the WS and ALCS.

 

No one. Who will be the first? Felix?

 

His ERA spiked up this year, and his strikeout rate went down, and he'll be 30 next year. So, I'm not sure he's even going to get there at this point. He seems like a shoo-in, but so did Verlander. (And heck, either one of them still could have a strong bounceback.)

 

Felix could win 20 this year.

 

He's going to start today on one day's rest, pitch two innings to get to 200, then retire.
