Monday Morning Quiz: Reds Seasonal ERA Champs

This week's quiz is similar to last week's quiz, but instead of looking at hitters, we'll be looking at pitchers. See how many of the last 30 Reds Seasonal ERA Leaders you can name in 8 minutes. A pitcher is only considered the ERA leader if he actually qualified for the National League ERA title in that season. This means that all of our leaders were starters for at least a large portion of the season.

I think this quiz will be a little bit harder than last week's. I'll be surprised if anyone gets more than 28 without cheating.

NOTE: Avoid reading the comments before taking the quiz as I'm sure there will definitely be spoilers. And if you don't want someone to be able to cheat, don't put spoilers in the comments. :)

I have a feeling that this will be the norm

seems like most of the names are either obvious or totally obscure. Hell, I made the test and the first time I took it I had already forgotten the 1997 leader.

Definitely a good argument.

And, once again, justin forgets the "SPOILER ALERT" before posting his comment

I ended up with 22

I managed to suppress all of 2001-2004 in my subconscious.

I had a hell of a time with that one too.

Prolly ‘cause I can’t remember much of anything about anything from that time frame.

24 here

It’s amazing how easily some of these guys are forgotten.

It's a shame too

cuz he’s probably one of the two best pitchers the Reds have had in the last 30 years. That’s what happens you play on shitty teams.

Definitely a good argument.

May have something to do with the whole being born in 1991...

Who knows? haha

I'm just proud of myself for spelling Schourek correctly.

I had to Google his name to spell it correctly.
