For a 140mm cap, will this guy land on the 18 win/20 loss side of the coin, or will his other stats squeeze out a couple extra wins? What has been your experience with Walsh in higher caps? I'm probably going to have to use him due to some limitations in the theme, but just curious to hear if he's going to be a big pain in the ***.

He's one of the very best starting pitchers in WIS.

Makes me feel a little better, contrarian. Thanks.

Only a helpless feeb can't figure this **** out for himself.

Pooholes

It's amazing that in RL, he had a losing record that year.

I use him all the time at the 140M level

It might have had something to do with the fact that in 1910 the White Sox, as a team, batted .211 and slugged .261.

Even for a pitcher's year during the deadball era... thats really bad.

How does he do in a +2 HR park?

Re the White Sox, the 1910 squad was composed of a few overs from the "Hitless Wonders" Series champs of 1906.

As an indication of how things were in those days, the 1906 Sox beat the Cubbies in six games; the team line for the Sox in that Series was.198/.279/.283; and the team line for the Cubs was .196/.275/.245. The hitting star for the White Sox was one George Rohe, who actually hit over .300 for the Series. The Sox, obviously impressed and desparate, played him a full season the next year; he hit .213, and was gone from baseball.

Ed Walsh, following his first 200-plus IP year, won two games in the 1906 Series, both of them complete games. In game 2 of the Series, Reulbach 1-hit the White Sox; in game 3, Walsh 2-hit the Cubs; and in game 4, Mordecai 2-hit the Sox.

By 1910, the Sox' player-manager of the championship year, Fielder Jones, was coaching for Oregon State, and the team was led by Hugh Duffy, who did not play. For the 1910 White Sox, Boston all-star infielder Freddy Parent was roaming the outfield, the team using Lena Blackburne at SS. Among others gone from the earlier team were Jiggs Donahue and George Davis, both of whom hit above .260 for the "Wonders." Only two hitters on the 1910 team hit above .240, but not above .250. Pasty Dougherty was their batting leader, at .248. The 1910 White Sox team finished last in the league in both hitting and fielding.

1910 was the nadir, or at least the first nadir, for the White Sox. The team's record sagged year by year from 1906 to 1910, and then picked up and perked up until the extended, agonizing disaster of 1919-1920 had wreaked its ruin on that impressive team.

Just a few notes, by your leave.

if you are trying to pick a fight with Mudbone, my advise is to think more like a Big_Kahuna would think. something like:

MUDBONES MAMA DRINKS FROM A BOWL !

something in that line.

you lost me

If you were drunk when you first read my post then it would of made perfect sense, but since you were not then it got lost in the translation, so nevermind continue with what you were doing and forget I ever existed.
