Some kinda pitching stats

Take a look at John Bogart's pitching stats for 1926.

1926 Stats

Something wierd happening there.

It's pretty clear what happened... he had 256 earned runs, and the game only counts to 255.

Hopefully that will be worked out with a patch or a later version of the game, because I'm sure that someone else will want to try to play Leo Sweetland 300 innings just to see how bad he can really be.

if that's it, no big deal, gotta have a pretty bad team to let that guy take that many innings

He's won a gold glove too, damn sweet.

For the love of jebus how does a pitcher play so much and be so bad? If I were Marcus I wouldn't expect a pitcher to ever have that many ER in a season either, I don't blame him!

Well, a couple reasons:

1. The PCL up to I think the 1950s played a huge schedule; for example, the 1934 Los Angeles Angels finished with a record of 137-50. 187 games! Bigger schedules = more chances to break the 256 barrier. Especially with RBIs. Especially especially if you're playing in an offense-heavy era.

2. Other what-if scenarios. The Phillies played in a stadium back in the 1920s and 30s called the Baker Bowl that rivalled and may have even exceeded Coors Field in terms of the effects it had on hitting. Take a look at the 1930 team; there are a couple guys (Leo "Sugar" Sweetland and Claude "Weeping" Willoughby) who played over 100 innings and gave up more runs than innings pitched. And the thing is, these guys weren't just plugged-in scrubs who'd never pitched a game before in their life. Both had big-league careers beforehand. Now, what if for some reason you wanted to give these guys regular spots in your 4-man rotation?

Just some ideas. I will say that this is a very, very minor nitpick of a game that is around 50 times better than anything else that's ever been released for baseball.
