De la Rosa's body will be sent back to the Dominican Republic after an autopsy and then could be put on display in a museum, his agent said.

The Dugout today looks pretty maudlin until you realize it's actually recasting the whole thing in the "Calvin & Hobbes find an injured baby raccoon" story, and then it feels a bit weirder.

seven years pass...

I won't start a new Pedro thread...Had some back-and-forth on him in the Posnanski thread the other day. Bill James posted a piece today called "41 Starts," where he looks at 41-start blocks since the '50s (41 because that amounted to a full season when he was a kid). He's got Pedro as having the second-greatest block ever, starting on 8/24/99 and ending at some unnamed point in 2001:

GS - 41
IP - 307.0
W - 26
L - 6
Pct - .813
H - 184
R - 59
ER - 54
SO - 434
BB - 48
ERA - 1.58
CG - 9
ShO - 5

434 strikeouts, 48 walks.

Who had #1?

― WilliamC, Friday, 16 May 2014 22:02 (twelve years ago)

Gibson--from April 26, '68 to probably a few starts into '69: 1.19 ERA, 335/80 K/BB.

But even if you adjust Gibson’s 1968 campaign to a more normal context, it’s still a phenomenal season. The National League ERA in 1968 was 2.98. Gibson’s ERA was 1.12. That’s 38% of the league. A normal league ERA, over time, is 3.90, 4.00. Adjusted to a normal league, Gibson’s ERA is still about 1.50. How often do we see a pitcher with a 1.50 ERA?

Gooden was #4, Koufax #3.

I'd easily take Pedro's block over Gibson's.

eleven years pass...

The Freewheelin' Pedro--must be in Montreal for a reunion or something; posted a bunch of photos on Facebook.
