Freaky? Or freakiest thing ever? Blyleven pitched almost exactly as many innings as Morris plus the greatest closer in history combined.
And even when you add 1150 innings of the all-time leader in adjusted ERA+ (and the modern leader in ERA, and in the all-time top 5 in K/BB), Blyleven ends up slightly ahead in ERA, BB, strikeouts and K/BB.
