How hard is it to win 300 games?

Astros' Justin Verlander wins second career AL Cy Young Award ... I think this is a good call, I would vote for Verlander based on the whole body of work for the season.

This may give us an idea of which stat differences have the biggest SS impact.

Jack Morris is #2 on the career SS to Bob Gibson

Who would have expected Bob Gibson and Mike Mussina to be in the same comp?
We assume there's some sort of logic in the algorithm that creates comps. Might be a false assumption. Change one variable (I'm guessing) and you get a completely different list.

Verlander now scores 66 on Black Ink. That's 15th All-Time among pitchers. He's only 35th in JAWS, just behind the average HOF P.
Through age 36, his top 10 comps are:
Mussina
Pettitte
Pedro
CC
Bob Gibson
Bob Welch (who would have expected that!)
Tim Hudson
Roger Clemens
Halladay
Juan Marichal

Did the Angels actually want to help Verlander or were they just in a hurry to go home?
Milestone Watch: Justin Verlander
Justin Verlander just barely missed cracking Yesterday's Top Performers section, allowing 3 earned runs in 6 innings of work. However, those 6 innings were also stocked with 12 strikeouts, which brought him to 300 strikeouts for the season and 3,000 strikeouts for his career. He is the 18th pitcher in MLB history to record 3,000 strikeouts in their career. Here's a look at the next pitchers on the all-time strikeouts leaderboard that Verlander could pass next season.
See the full leaderboard at Baseball-Reference.com
Verlander joins his teammate Gerrit Cole in the 300-strikeout club this season. As remarked upon in this newsletter when Cole reached that milestone, Cole and Verlander join Randy Johnson and Curt Schilling in 2002 as the only pairs of teammates to reach 300 strikeouts in the same season. You can see the full list of 300-strikeout seasons in MLB history at Baseball-Reference.com's Pitching Season Finder.
One final footnote to mention here is that Verlander recorded 12 strikeouts last night on just 80 pitches. Dating back to 1988, when we first have mostly complete pitch data, Verlander is just the 4th pitcher in our database to record that many strikeouts in an outing of 80 pitches or less. Here's a look at the group Verlander joins.

But here's the thought to chew on:
... And this is the point: No team has ever had identical twins quite like Cole and Verlander at the top of their rotation. The fascinating question will be: What will this mean come playoff time? On the one hand, the Astros basically go into the postseason with not one but two Tom Seavers and that seems like a pretty good recipe for winning a World Series.
On the other hand, Cole and Verlander are similar enough that I can’t help but wonder if, over a seven-game series, batters will begin to get a bit more comfortable against that style of pitching. Part of what made Koufax-Drysdale or Johnson-Schilling or Maddux-Glavine so devastating was their contrasting styles, they were great in such different ways. I mean, let’s not get carried away, Cole and Verlander are not really the same pitcher, they do offer different challenges, but it’s a similar enough look and hitters are so great now …
