Message: [QUOTE="CA Monk, post: 3532828, member: 5268"] You wonder how dominating a pitcher like Gibson would be if he was coddled like today's starting pitchers (6 good innings or 100 or so pitches). Magical year in 1968: A microscopic 1.12 ERA, 13 shutouts, but somehow managed to lose 9 games in going 22-9. Run support may have been a problem. In one 2 year stretch he pitched 56 complete games - Yowza. After a pitching dominant 1968, MLB lowered the mound from 15 to 10 inches.
