How do we compare to 92/93 jays?

[cram]

Forget which one (think 92?) but one of those teams didn't lose a series all season. Think about that.

This didn't happen. Maybe swept? Can't remember, but that's possible. Maybe .500 or better against all opponents for the season? That could be possible too. But for absolute certain they lost series in both '92 and '93. They only won 95 and 96 games. I doubt it'd be even mathematically possible to win all series in a year with those records because of the large number of 3-game series.

I think it was over the last couple months they didn't lose a series.

For those of you who want to relive memories of the 1992 team or for those that weren't born yet and want to understand how special they were, this is a great read:

No need to think about that because It never happened.

Not losing a single series would mean like a 130 win season...

The Jays had incredible pitching depth on those previous championship teams

Pitchers that were on one or both championships:

Juan Guzman
Jimmy Key
Dave Stieb
Jack Morris
Dave Stewart
David Wells
David Cone
Todd Stottlemyre
Al Leiter

Ya they had quite the pitching staff there pen was decent to timlin/ward/heinke,then the next year still had timlin/ward.

I think you guys are right; they weren't swept all season, and that was the first time in 49 yrs that had happened.

I misremembered it as not having lost a series.

I have a sore spot on my finger where it comes to Al Leiter. He spend a year and a half, at full salary, with his finger in a jar of pickle juice (Rudy Gay), and pitches well for a couple of months. Then rather than resign for the team who put up with his fully salaried finger blisters, he wants to go home. Well home sucked and he ended up in New York. Ingrate!


Now Jimmy Key was the most fun to watch. He was pure finesse.

David Cone is David Price. Don Cherry went Conehead one night on HNIC in homage to Cone. Wells was legitimately good but got criticized for his weight. Who the hell cares how fat he is if he wins?

My favorite? Juan Guzman, not because he was the best, but I just have a thing with rookies. Kind of like Osuna, lots of confidence and talent. Stottlemyre was the weakest of the bunch and he was good.

Position for position?

I can't really say much because I never saw them, but I am fascinated by 2pat who contributed three words to this thread and no other words to any Blue Jays thread whatsoever. It's almost like he had to write a paper on this but didn't want to do his own work.
