Challenge accepted! 

Bob Turley gave up 10 hits and 9 walks but only 2 runs in a 9-inning complete game.  Quality!

I'll stop after this, if only because "worst" is a fuzzy term, but going back to a deader-ball era, there is this gem:

Charlie Chech fashioned a CG 8-3 win while giving up 15 hits and 8 walks, evening his season record at 11-11.  Too bad no play-by-play log is available, to marvel at.

Quality!

Doesn't indicate what kind of quality though, does it?

Poor is still a form of quality!

Lol … I like temps in the 80s … but those 90s temps this past week, the humidity was low-Ish, so it really wasn’t bad

I was on the North shore earlier this week and it barely hit 60 the three days we were there.  If it hadn't been raining and windy, it would have been very pleasant.

How about Quantity pitching, then?  I know I said I'd stop, but consider this:

https://www.baseball-reference.com/boxes/CLE/CLE193207100.shtml

After the starter lasted only an inning, Eddie Rommel came in, and pitched 17 innings of relief, giving up 14 runs (to be fair, one was unearned) on 29 base hits and 9 bases on balls.  He saved his best pitching for the extra innings, as you might guess, but when his team scored 2 in the top of the 16th, he gave them right back, and the game went on!

Stathead at baseball-reference.com is a wonderful tool.

Yeah, we never believe it when you say that. You’d disappoint us if you did, so keep it up! ?

Yeah.  If you had a nickel for every time Rommel gave up 29 hits, you'd have five cents!

Where'd everyone go?

[ashbury]

On a night when hits are cheap, Tyler Duffey comes in and pitches a clean 8th.

[RpR]

Kirilloff batting, hold your breath he doe not throw a bean-ball.

Quite the performance under such pressure.

But hey … all those runs and the game was still under 3 hrs

That scoreless inning by Duffey probably bought him a roster spot the rest of the season.....SMH

I um, just got distracted.

 

Doubling efforts is exhausting.

 

Next time, can i halve my efforts?

And eat it too?
