- Helluva a lot of Decisions.
- Yeah, 38 in 42 starts is quite a bit. Shocking that he got that many decisions with only 17 complete games. he averaged over 7 and a half innings per start. Real life '73; 16-15, 3.82 in 42 starts, with 17 complete games.

- Probably deserved it in real life as well. I believe this is something my replay got 'more right' than the actual season.
- Another sad day for 1973 baseball. Ended up 19-19 with a 3.32 ERA for me. RIP Mickey
