Greatest fluke seasons

[barrysloate]

Steve Stone going 25-8 and winning the Cy Young Award. The next season he was 5-8.

what about the thought process in reverse. Adam dunn just, 1 season ago not even comming close to his normal 40 or so HR, that hes pretty steady with. Where he hit only 11, then the following year, he was right back to 41

I think we need to test you for fishing PED's Johnny. I notice you caught bigger first last season than any year before

Johnny this is no fluke, but my 5 year old caught this a couple of weeks ago.

I was gonna point that out....25-8, 3.23 ERA.

He never had more than 15 wins in a season(and even that was only 1 season..next highest was 12 wins), and his next lowest ERA was 3.77 ERA.

He was out of baseball after only one more season.

Also Daren Erstad in the Angels championship season in 2002.. .355 BA. Never hit over .299 any other season.

My numbers were slightly off...he was 25-7 followed by 4-7.

Sort of a different take on flukes, but somehow last year Zach Cozart managed to hit 15 home runs while only driviing in 35 runs.

Rob Deer '92 had 32 HR's and only 64 RBIs.
Garret Jones in 2009 had 21/44
Chris Duncan in 2006 had 22/43
Kevin Maas in '90 had 21/41
Chris Hoiles in '92 had 20/40
Carlton Fisk in '84 had 21/43

Those stat lines look weird. What's crazy is all those guys still had a higher RBI to HR ratio (near or above 2:1) than Bonds did in his 73 HR season.. Think he ended up with like 132 RBIs.

Yeah, that's because they usually walked Bonds if anybody was on base. Sometimes even with the bases loaded.

PED's or not, he had a really mind-boggling effect on National League pitching for a while there. To think he did what he did while everybody was blatantly trying to pitch around him.
