Best Clutch Pitching Perfomance?

csherwood001 · 04-21-2021, 04:32 PM

Just curious what the best clutch pitching performances people have seen is.

I am currently playing a game with Historical Rookies from all Eras and was able to pick up 35 year old Curt Simmons at the start of the season to solidify my Phillies starting rotation. He got the start at home against the Cardinals in Game 5 of the Best of 5 LCS and threw a complete game no hitter to send us to the World Series!!!

The footnote to all of that is that we lost the WS in 7 games, Simmons was the losing pitcher in Game 7, and he also had a fairly weak outing in Game 3 (though we did at least come back late to win that one)

Maybe not a game, but a part of a season.

I took over the 2042 Yankees. They won a WS in 2037 and 2038, but now are an old team with a lot of guys past their prime.

I traded what I could for peanuts, picked up a lot of high contact, high avoid K, low power guys. My team leads the league in BA and OBP, but is last in scoring - no power.

One 35 year old pitcher I had to keep because he blocked all trades with 10/5. Never had a WHIP below 1.3 or ERA below 4.

So far this season he's 1.02 WHIP, 1.25 ERA in 7 starts. Yankees are 5-2 in his 7 starts. Just had a game in which in the 5th and 6th innings, the opposing team loaded the bases with no outs, but then this pitcher struck out 3 in a row to end the inning without runs.
