- In 2004, pitcher Shawn Chacon of the Colorado Rockies had a season like no other, and did something that we will likely never see happen again. In spite of having a dreadful year, he somehow was able to rack up many saves in the process.

Chacon and Small saved the 2005 Yankees, one of the weirdest seasons I can remember.
How interesting. I saw David Bednar get his 10th save with a 7.85 ERA, and was wondering how often a pitcher can put up an ERA over 7.00 while saving at least 10 games. I saw Shawn Chacon's 2004 atop the list, and this video showed up a few hours later.
The funny thing is I remember Shawn Chacon mostly for his role as a rotation savior on the 2005 Yankees along with Aaron Small after so many of their starters went down with injury. That's especially remarkable considering how bad he was the year before.
If Bednar's season ended today, he'd only have the third highest ERA of any 10 save pitcher.
Mike Perez in 1994 had a 8.71 ERA with 12 saves. He had a 0.77 ERA in those 12 saves, but a 16.78 ERA in non save situations.
1-9 that's worse than Whit Bass in Angels in the Outfield. He was 2-11 lol
That's a pretty cool backdoor-flex story. Thanks for sharing.
2003 Pirates closer Mike Williams had 28 saves with an ERA over 6. Even made the all star team that year
An ERA of 41.73 in his seven losses will certainly do that
Derrick Turnbow 2006
@@gnielsen07 you guys are awesome for knowing this stuff. I love taking baseball with people who also love it
@@gnielsen07 April - June: 3.28 ERA, 35.2 innings, 23 saves.

@@walkoffstudios that’s crazy, turnbow was excellent in 2005 too. completely lost it after June 06
Somehow I remember the name Shawn Chacon lol
Me too somehow

i'm rippng dynasty mode on MLB High Heat 2004 and he landed on my team and i think i'm losing my hair over it. Every hittable pitch...gone. Blows every save. Never thought i'd develop such a burning hatred of a relief pitcher twenty years after the fact.
Joe was around before Shawn hell I remember him in the minors
its incredible that a manager would let this guy close. I would put any starter in his position. I remember those rocky teams being bad but were they so bad that they would let this guy close a game? it would be hard to find someone this bad even on purpose. I can maybe see if he was the 1st overall pick and maybe they had hope in him but those stats are insane. It truly feels like the manager wanted to lose. Im truly surprised Chacon didnt bench himself. This is one of the few instances where anyone could have been a better closer but the manager just said " fuck it". Imagine being a general manager and seeing this guy in free agency and signing him. The guy played for 8 damn years.
Same with Brad Lidge 5 years later
Angel hernandez could have an affect on statistics too hahah I bet mlb players are so used to going up against the best pitchers that for 35 games they weren’t ready for the worst pitcher ever and struggled
You think angel is bad, go check out Eric Gregg. He is the heavy set umpire in the 90s. His strike zone is might be a meter (about three feet) squared
@@dgrblue4162 holy crap ill have to look him up lol
He piched in Colorado
Brad Lidge was even worse 5 years later
11 blown saves will do that to a player. 16 earned runs allowed in 4.1 innings in 8 losses as well
Shawn Chacon is how I found out that big leaguers are really really good at hitting a round ball with a round stick. I had faced him and played with him multiple times around the Denver area on travel teams, All-Star games, and the like at Prep Ball. He, along with future big leaguers Roy Hallady, Junior Herndon were all something of a Denver area spook story who were well known as mercenaries and ronin. Teams would pick them up, and instantly they would dominate local tournaments or traveling team games. He always beat me like a red-headed step child. Then, in 1996, I went to a Rockies game and afterwards they had a free Prep All Star Game for just Denver players. There he was, the starter warming up at Coors Field.
Well, when he got to the Big Leagues, lineups did to him what he did to me. When I saw guys hitting multiple home runs off a fastball I was utterly terrified of, that was when I learned baseball is really really hard.
He was a good dude. Modest, a little shy, but all-in-all, one of those guys you want to see succeed.
