In 1972 that really is amazing. I saw Wayne Twitchell pitch against the Expos at Veterans Stadium in 1972 when those two teams were fighting for cellar-dwelling rights, and he was terrible (which was somewhat worse than the rest of his season).
He had two really good years in 1973 and 1976. I had him on my Longball (card game) Phillies club in '76, and traded him to the Dodgers for Steve Garvey. He was the best combination starter/reliever in our league (twelve teams) that season.
{As an aside, that trade really solidified my infield, giving me Gary Carter behind the plate, Garvey, Dave Cash (best defensive second baseman and best hit-and-run man in the league), Larry Bowa (great defense and finished third behind Mickey Rivers and Davey Lopes in steals two seasons running) and Schmidt. We won two regular season titles and two World Series. …and I'm off-topic again.}
