What do you consider to be the worst pitching staffs in MLB history?
-
"It's time to play America's favorite game- Name That Molina." -
all time.....id have to research alittle more.
In my lifetime.....1996 tigers. Go look at the numbers.....comically bad."all the mets road wins against the dodgers this year have occured at Dodger Stadium"---Ralph Kiner
"Blind people came to the park just to listen to him pitch"---Reggie Jackson, talking about Tom Seaver -
Wow I didn't realize the 96 Tigers staff was so pathetic. The staff ERA+ was 80, which is actually lower than the 1930 Phillies who had an ERA+ of 81.
The 1899 Cleveland Spiders had a staff ERA+ of 58, but they don't really count as a real team."It's good to be young and a Giant." - Larry DoyleComment

1905 & 1906 Boston Beaneaters have to rank among the worst.Comment
-
1935 Boston Braves team ERA+: 77
Nuff said.
46 wins to match last year's total Comment

The 1915 A's had a staff ERA+ of 68, even with guys like Joe Bush, Bob Shawkey, and Herb Pennock."It's good to be young and a Giant." - Larry DoyleComment

the question wasn't.....
who has the worst pitching on the otherwise best team. it was who has the worst pitching staff. tell me if you think the 1899 cleveland spiders had good hitting and defense. don't be condesending and tell me to look deeper,like you're the only one who can have an opinion on baseball history. try not acting so pompous.Comment

Wow, way to try to learn something. Take your own adviceOriginally posted by banny View Post
1875 Washington wasn't such a good pitching staffMythical SF Chronicle scouting report: "That Jeff runs like a deer. Unfortunately, he also hits AND throws like one." I am Venus DeMilo - NO ARM! I can play like a big leaguer, I can field like Luzinski, run like Lombardi. The secret to managing is keeping the ones who hate you away from the undecided ones. I am a triumph of quantity over quality. I'm almost useful, every village needs an idiot.

They could take the 1873 Baltimore staff (a team that had the worst pitching ever and impossibly enough the worst offense also [single digit team OPS+?????!!!]).Originally posted by RuthMayBond View PostComment

Yea i hardly think a team which played 6 games can be called the worst ever. Although the 1974 team werent exactly brilliant they did have Jack Manning who posted a 147 OPS+ to go with a 91 ERA+.Comment
