Nothing major in this post, but after last night's game, Erik Bedard sits at 129 k's, leading all of baseball by 14, and is on pace for 268 strikeouts for the year!!
While he'll probably slow down somewhat, who predicted that by the end of June, he'd be where he is right now?
I don't think he'll get 250. I think he'll need 220 innings to get that, which I just don't think he'll get, either because of small aches and pains or because the O's will take it easy with him down the stretch. I think 230 is more likely. Still not too shabby.

Anyone think he'll get to 250?
Props to Canada.
Just curious how you arrived at 271 K's? I have him at 277.4. Since the Orioles have played 87/162 games, he is averaging 1.7126436 K/game. 1.7126436 X 162 = 277.44826. Thaty being said, Bedard would have to pitch around 226 innings (32 more than his career high) to reach 277 K's (his current pace) I think a solid 230-250 is reasonable with his high side being at 260, which would be more than anyone in the past two seasons have had.

"I do not think baseball of today is any better than it was 30 years ago... I still think Radbourne is the greatest of the pitchers." John Sullivan 1914-Old athletes never change.

I remember back 8-9 years when pitchers hit the 300K mark on a regular basis.
Pedro had 305 in 97, then 313 in 99 and then just missed by 16 in 2000.
Randy Johnson hit 308 in 93, 294 in 95, 291 in 97, and from 98-02 he went: 339, 364, 347, 374, 332...WOW
In 97, and 98, Schilling went 319, and 300...then in 2002 he had 316.
Clemens never went up over 300, but he was routinely well over 200, and K'd as many as 291, and 292.
Were all these 300K seasons the result of 3 dominant strikeout pitchers (Pedro, RJ, and Schilling,) or are pitchers treated differently today? A lot of the 300 game seasons were a result of over 250 innings pitcherd...do you think if the Johan's and Bedard's of the league could reach 300K's if they pitched that manning innings (without injury???)
