The 1960 Portland Rosebuds
The '60 Rosebuds are on pace to be one of the best run-prevention led teams in a long time. It's June 1st, we're 37-16, and our offense is scuffling a bit; but we've allowed ~50 runs less than the next lowest team. Our staff ERA is 2.59, with an opponent average of .209. All five SPs have an ERA that starts with 2. Crazy.
But as I mentioned, the offense isn't great. We're 8th of 12 Federal League teams in runs scored and just one player with double-digit home runs; although that player, 3B Dave Magby, is carrying us with 17 HR and a whopping 171 wRC+.
April: 15-10
May: 22-6
