I read that somewhere as well, very strange season for Davey Johnson looking at his homer totals, 18 was the most he ever hit…..then boom 43

Yeah but in baseball there is so much luck, randomness, weather and other things that when I see that those 3 guys all had great power seasons I don't immediately think of steroids. This might not stick out because they were a very young team but 20 years from now when people look at the numbers the 2021 Blue Jays put up they might think they were up to something. But if you look closer you'll see that because of Covid they played their home games in a minor league park in Buffalo that favored hitters. Vlad went hog wild there. Almost won the MVP.

Like I said, if those guys had somehow figured out the magic formula of drugs or sign stealing or whatever, you'd think Davey would try it the next year too.

Smoltz comes up on these, but I think his is 150 wins and saves.

I don’t think he got 300 saves. He just didn’t close for nearly long enough.

 

[Pure Steel]

I don’t think he got 300 saves. He just didn’t close for nearly long enough.

He didn’t reach 100 wins either…..

 

[calsnowskier]

Fingers is one. Not Eck

Didn’t catch the “wins as a reliever” part of the question.

I blame the asker for that misunderstanding.

 

[calsnowskier]

He didn’t reach 100 wins either…..

Yeah…. I just figured out the question is only asking for wins AS A RELIEVER.

 

[calsnowskier]

I would guess Tekulve, but I am not sure he qualifies for either stat.

Lee Smith?
