By a starting rotation...minimum of 9 games:

2012 Tigers 1.02

1983 Orioles 1.31

1996 Braves 1.59

1981 Expos 1.59


That's such an insane number. The starters era was 0.66 against the Yankees.

I have been telling friends if we get in the playoffs are top 3 starters are better than anyone's but that ERA is insane. Granted we havnt actually played any teams hitting well but still.

Well the Yankees got cold during the O's series but in their last 10 regular season games they went 7-3 and averaged 6.8 runs per game. The A's went 9-1 and averaged 5.8 runs per game. The majority of the credit has to be given to the Tigers starters. I don't care if you are playing a college team....your starters are not going to have a 1.02 era.
 
Don't forget to give credit to the all too often overlooked person in all that...











The catcher.
 
I love how our SPs are still getting overlooked. Obviously it is just a cold streak and not good pitching.

Not with some guys. Eckersley was saying, "poor hitting, blah - all credit goes to the SP" - I'm paraphrasing of course. And the the others guys jump in "yeah sure" - a bunch of schmucks. Lol.
 
That record is gonna stand for a long time.I was blown away yesterday when I seen that stat, but what blew me away even more was by the distance between 1 and 2.

Eckersley is the best of the bunch imo and not just because he was the most centered of them.

Darling sucks....I mean he really sucks. Ernie ok for a hoops guy doing baseball but they need to get Darling out of there.

Don't they have to continue throughout the whole post season to have the record?

Yeah, Ron Darling was a real nuisance in the TBS booth during the Tigers-Yankees series. I wanted to punch that smug fucker in the face.
 
The record for any series is 0.61 by the Orioles in the 1966 WS against the Dodgers (4-0 sweep) and the Tigers are second with 0.66.
