Next up: The San Francisco Velocity. A very poor hitting but respectable pitching team that just totally had our number during the 1965 season.
The Velocity finished either last or next to last in nearly every offensive category and their highest ranking was in HR's (144) where they merely ranked 6 out of 10 teams. They were, however, 2nd in team ERA (2.98) and 3rd in runs allowed (566) and they were very stingy with the longball (114 HRA, 2nd.)
Against the Brewers the Velocity won 13 games while losing only 5.
One reason was the way young knuckleballer, Dennis Daniel pitched against us. in 3 starts against the Brewers he went 3-0 with a 1.54 ERA, 0.60 WHIP, 21 K's and only 4 BB's.
