Funny how we're comparing this pitching staff to all-time staffs, a la the current comparisons of Seahawk defenses historically...

Ya, good catch -- the 1985 Jays' ERA+ is surprising. That's got to be one of yer great no-strikeout staffs. They were 8th in strikeouts in the AL, actually a tad below average.
The year before, their ERA+ was 107; the year after, it was 104. You wonder what happened there, exactly; those pitchers weren't as good as all that. But of course you can aim that logic at the 2014 M's pitching (and 2001 M's team) also ...
Great ERA+ that year; not so great a staff, as such. Wonder why.
