Rick Mahler was a bright light in the darkness for the Atlanta Braves

The Braves really stunk almost the whole time righty starting pitcher Rick Mahler was there but it wasn’t his fault as he was a workhorse for the team. He pitched in 307 games (218 starts) in his 11 years with the Braves and he was 79-89 with 2 saves, a 4.00 ERA and a 1.38 WHIP. But, he was especially good during the 1984 and 1985 seasons for the Braves despite the fact that the team was 146-178 those two years. Mahler pitched in 77 games (68 starts) in 1984 and 1985 and he was 30-25 with a 3.32 ERA and a 1.27 WHIP. Mahler was just at the wrong place at the wrong time or he would have finished with a lot more wins than he did in his career.
