| Love that ATL-DET in 1987 turned into one ATL in 1996. Also, for the 1994 season, I think ESPN.com and Baseball Reference use a different innings cut off for who was eligible for the ERA title in the strike shortened season. This would remove the OAK and COL pitchers from that year, who only threw 115.1 and 112.2 innings that year, respectively. I'm assuming you went with B-R as the source (and rightfully so) but I don't understand how they circumvented Rule10.22(b): The individual pitching champion in a Major League shall be the pitcher with the lowest earned-run average, provided that the pitcher has pitched at least as many innings in league championship games as the number of games scheduled for each club in his club’s league that season. The A's played 112 games, so OAK belongs but the Rockies played 117 games, which would leave COL short. |
