Top 5 pitchers of all time?
 

Posted By: <b>Jeff Lichtman</b><p>Dennis, where on the site is "neutralized stats?"<br /><br />Interestingly, when you look at the section which lists the players whose stats are most similar to a player's, here are Blyleven's:<br /><br />Don Sutton (914) * <br />Gaylord Perry (909) * <br />Fergie Jenkins (890) * <br />Tommy John (889) <br />Robin Roberts (876) * <br />Tom Seaver (864) * <br />Jim Kaat (854) <br />Early Wynn (844) * <br />Phil Niekro (844) * <br />Steve Carlton (840)<br /><br />All but Kaat and John are in the HOF. <br /><br />

Posted By: <b>Jeff Lichtman</b><p>This website never ceases to amaze me. How about the feature that allows you to see what a pitcher did against a specific batter of their careers? Incredible stuff.

Posted By: <b>Todd Schultz</b><p>but I'll stand by statement--the teams Bert played for were not woeful, period.<br /><br />Jeff, the neutralized stats link is right after PITCHING&gt;&gt;glossary&gt;&gt;&gt;Hide partial seasons, etc. It's highlighted in red<br /><br />I have not studied the math to any degree, but see where it "neutralizes" Bert's 1973 season for the .500 Twins to have been 26-10, rather than 20-17. This alone made me laugh, having seen him pitch more than once that season live and several more times on the tube. To suggest that his teammates and park cost him 6 games in each direction on the ledger for that season is ridiculous, IMHO. <br /><br />I want Bert in, and I think he deserves it. He did get extremely weak run support at times--I remember the 1-0 and 2-1 games, but that is not because his team was horsecrap as much as it was owing to him being a #1 who got outdueled by the other team's #1. His main beef is probably with his managers, at least while a Twin, for slotting him against the Vida Blues, Jim Palmers, etc. in their best years. But if anyone, including Bert, truly thinks he was 100 wins better than losses, as suggested by these "neutralized" stats, well, please allow me to respectfully disagee.

Posted By: <b>dennis</b><p>i love that feature! it is addicting.also try the Pythagorean won-lost percentage on the team feature. it is amazing by runs scored vs. runs allowed you can predict a teams record. last years diamond backs really were the exception!!
