Brandon Webb with 42 straight scoreless innings

[BaltBird 24]

Completed his third straight complete game shutout tonight against Atlanta, bringing his current streak to 42 IP. Simply one of the more dominant streaks we've seen in a while. Can he break Herhisers record of 59?

And shutting down the Braves is not that easy either. Id say its a long shot to get the record...he still needs two more shutouts:eek:

He should win the Cy Young again.

This guy is one great young pitcher.

Wow, that's just wow. Only 3 baserunners all night.

Glad I kept him on my fantasy team. He's getting me mega points with this streak. 3 CG shutouts in a row!

My friend said ESPN showed the list of consecutive scoreless innings streaks and thought he saw Gregg Olson's name on there.

I am having trouble finding the same list online.

Any help?

Update: I was able to view the list on ESPN.com's small video stream area:

Most Consecutive Scoreless Innings Pitched

Division Play Era (since 1969)

1) '88 Hershiser - 59 IP

2) '07 Webb - 42

3) '89-'90 Gregg Olson - 41

4) '72 Luis Tiant - 40

I'd still like our resident statheads to let me know where I would be able to find this info online. Thanks!

Amazing streak, and one(Orel's) that doesn't get enough publicity imo, I hope Webb can do it, but it will be very difficult.

Peavy has a very good case as well.
