Those numbers are brought down by 1992. He was dominant in 84 and 91 and his teams possibly/probably don't win w/o him

He pitched pretty well in the 87 postseason too.

If you exclude 1992 (include only 84, 87 and 91), Morris has a 1.125 WHIP and 2.59 ERA and a 2.77 FIP. Pretty close to Hershiser. In those years, he had 9 starts and went 4-1 with 4 complete games.

Back to the board

Jack Morris's top four seasons compared to some other pitchers' top four seasons: - By brick September 1, 2026 at 11:25:43 PM
- I get the consternation on Morris but he won a ton of games and was very good in the postseason and won 3 titles. There are a lot of worse players in than Morris. What I always fall back on is - By Rich September 1, 2026 at 11:30:58 PM
  - Whitaker deserves before Morris* - By detroitbry September 2, 2026 at 12:49:21 AM
    - Whitaker arguably deserved it befiore Tram. Whitaker is an incredible whiff by "informed" voters * - By Spirit September 2, 2026 at 10:26:22 AM
  - see even "big hall" guys don't want baines. I'm a Sox fan, he's HOVG, that's fine* - By Daytripper September 1, 2026 at 11:39:44 PM
    - Baines made it because Tony LaRussa pushed for his candidacy - By brick September 2, 2026 at 12:01:15 AM
  - Jack Morris's postseason stats: 13 starts, 7-4, 3.80 ERA, 1,245 WHIP, 2.0 K/BB. Compare that to Orel Hershiser: - By brick September 1, 2026 at 11:38:52 PM

      - Morris had two good postseasons and two terrible postseasons. You can’t say “he was a great postseason pitcher” - By brick September 2, 2026 at 09:11:01 AM
        
        I have long been an advocate of Whitaker and his exclusion has nothing to do with Morris... - By Rich September 2, 2026 at 09:16:36 AM
        
        Whitaker and Trammell were both underrated because so much of the credit that should’ve gone to them went to Morris - By brick September 2, 2026 at 09:30:01 AM
        
        I never got that impression. Morris sure but also Trammell, Gibson and Parrish were all talked about. I do think Whitaker was always ignored* - By Rich September 2, 2026 at 09:37:51 AM
    - this was an excellent debate on baseball think factory circa 2018* - By Daytripper September 1, 2026 at 11:40:27 PM
- It sucks. Him and Baines have zero case. The HOF voters normalized this shit for HOVG players with a narrative, and meanwhile numerous players more deserving (including steroid era) are out* - By Daytripper September 1, 2026 at 11:26:53 PM
  - The exclusions of Bonds and Clemens are stupid* - By Rich September 1, 2026 at 11:31:48 PM
    - I don’t have a problem with them being off, I have a problem with Bagwell and Pudge being in. And Clemens was struggling before he juiced up in Toronto.* - By MasterBates September 1, 2026 at 11:44:02 PM
    - indeed, bonds was a HOF even before he was clearly juiced. Clemens yea, same even tho I don't like him. Barry I enjoy as a competitor. I guess Roger was alright too that way. Both assholes in their own way - By Daytripper September 1, 2026 at 11:38:46 PM
      - Jack Morris arguably never had as good a season as Roger Clemens' 1996, the year before he went to Toronto - By brick September 1, 2026 at 11:55:57 PM
        
        it was a fun era because I imagine a lot of the pitchers juiced too, or amped. I dunno, it was fun for what it was* - By Daytripper September 1, 2026 at 11:57:59 PM
