You mean besides the fact that
Pat Rapp got 28 starts for the good guys?
Slasher52 - December 21, 2009
Guess I could help the next guy along...
‘cuz I can’t find them all.
Your list adds to 1601 (someone should double-check, did it quick), so 19 starts are missing.
1) But Lackey should only be credited with 233 game starts, so -1 and 1600 total
2) I think Ortiz had 126 starts (+16, 1616 total)
The others look right at quick glance (at BP). Somebody must be missing from the list…?
LAASurfin - December 21, 2009
Adenhart had only 4, unfortunately (-1, 1615)
Levine had 7 (+2, 1617)
3 still missing…
LAASurfin - December 21, 2009
Gregg had 8 (+2, 1619)
Missing 1…
LAASurfin - December 21, 2009
Levine had 6
He had 1 in 1999
5 in ’00
1 in ’01.
So now we have 1618.
Missing 2
Figgi4life - December 21, 2009
Check your math
That adds to 7
ryanfea - December 22, 2009
The one in 1999 does not count.
Figgi4 be’s all correct and such.
LAASurfin - December 22, 2009
Ortiz had 128.
That makes 1620!!!
That is, assuming you checked every single starter.
Figgi4life - December 21, 2009
I also get 1601.
OK, Excel (not me) gets 1601
red floyd - December 21, 2009
Escobar :(
oh dios mio
clover_black - December 21, 2009
I believe Oliver had more than one start.
Not sure when it was, though—maybe 2007.
Clutch - December 21, 2009
baseball-reference disagrees
Figgi4life - December 21, 2009
Hmmmm, weird.
I could’ve sworn he did—esp. since he was LRP for his time here and is an ex-starter…maybe he just had more 2nd and 3rd inning onward appearances…
Clutch - December 21, 2009
i think you are thinking
of a spot start by Carrasco…
Rev Halofan - December 21, 2009
CHANGES MADE
Does it add up now?
Rev Halofan - December 22, 2009
Yeah.
List above adds to 1622 (unless the eggnog is taking effect).
1) Subtract one from Lackey as BR/BP show only 233 starts (in 234 GAMES).
2) Subtract one from Levine. He had 7 total career starts for the Angels but the 1999 one does not count here.
Voila. 1620.
LAASurfin - December 22, 2009
Not an error
but this Adenhart 4 is just so wrong
Seik1177 - December 22, 2009
next decade
Kazmir, Saunders, Weaver, Santana, Walden, Reckling, F. Martinez, Richards, Skaggs….
i like the look at the start of this decade compared to where we started the last one.
