Brandon Webb

[Tim]

Is about to pitch back to back to back shutouts. After pitching consecutive 7IP scoreless games. Bringing the total to 41 consecutive innings of shutout baseball. It may actually be more as I can't remember what inning the cubs scored against him.

 

Incredible run.

[Guest]

will you just go ahead and propose to him already . . .

[Lockes Eye Scar]

you were only 1 off. It's 42.

[Guest]

To think he has to pitch two more complete game shutouts to break Orel's record.

Well, since his next start is against Milwaukee and he is scheduled to not pitch against the Cubs in their series with Arizona next week, I say go ahead and break the record Webb :D

Gotta be at least 42 1/3 since he got out of the sixth and pitched the seventh of that game, right?

[Wilson A2000]

How can a man throw so hard and make the ball sink so much in such a short period of time? Off topic, but it seems that Z's sinker is not sinking like it did in years past. It looks more like a 4-seamer.

did he get an out in the 7th, or was it 6+?

It was 7IP

The best part of this thread is that the Cubs don't face him on the road trip but the Brewers do. HA HA.

I do not believe that record is kept to as fine a degree as outs. It's just kept as a whole number of innings.

And yet the Cubs will still manage to lose 2 of 3 to the DBacks.

Cy Young? I think so.

[TruffleShuffle]

let's trade for him... fontenot, marshall, eyre and jones for brandon webb.

And then sign Santana in the off season.

 

Zambrano, Santana, Web, Lilly

 

4 man rotation, we'll win 120 games.

When Orel broke the record, he surpassed Drysdale's old record of 58 2/3 IP by only 1/3 of an inning to get to 59IP.

 

 

 

The Giant game extended the pitcher's streak to 49 scoreless innings with one start to go. But even a shutout in his last game wouldn't have been enough to break Don Drysdale's record of 58 and two-thirds innings. Hershiser needed the game at San Diego to go into overtime.

[synergy]

What would it take for the Cubs to trade for Brandon Webb?

Most of the farm system and a little divine intervention. At minimum.

Cy Young? I think so.

 

Peavy is probably still ahead of him and has been the better pitcher this year.

 

Peavy: 164.7 IP, 2.19 ERA, 175 K, 46 BB, 1.06 WHIP

Webb: 184.7 IP, 2.63 ERA, 161 K, 57 BB, 1.17 WHIP

 

And since the voters look at W-L first, Peavy is 13-5 while Webb is 13-8.

Sadly, that's probably true.

If that's the case, then Hershiser's streak should have been longer since he got 2 outs before the Reds scored in his first start of the following season. (And he most likely also got the last out of the inning right before he started the streak). I asked this exact question on Baseball-Fever, but couldn't come up with a definitive answer.

In any case, I've always heard Hershiser's record as 59 scoreless innings and Drysdale's former record as 58 scoreless innings.

I think it cannot include individual outs before the streak begins, but can include individual outs once the streak begins. For example, say a pitcher gave up a home run, then got the next guy out to end the inning, and pitched three scoreless inning after that. It would only be counted as three scorless innings. However, if he pitched three scorless innings, then got one out in the next inning before giving up another homerun, he would have three and one third scorless innings.

 

As for Hershieser's streak, the reason it is 58 and two thirds scoreless innings is because he got those two outs on the Reds before they scored.

Hershiser's streak is 59 innings.
