    You mean besides the fact that

    Pat Rapp got 28 starts for the good guys?

    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…?

    Adenhart had only 4, unfortunately (-1, 1615)

    Levine had 7 (+2, 1617)

    3 still missing…

    Gregg had 8 (+2, 1619)

    Missing 1…

    Levine had 6

    He had 1 in 1999
    5 in ’00
    1 in ’01.

    So now we have 1618.
    Missing 2

    Check your math

    That adds to 7

    The one in 1999 does not count.

    Figgi4 be’s all correct and such.

    Ortiz had 128.

    That makes 1620!!!
    That is, assuming you checked every single starter.

    I also get 1601.

    OK, Excel (not me) gets 1601

    Escobar :(

    oh dios mio

    I believe Oliver had more than one start.

    Not sure when it was, though—maybe 2007.

    baseball-reference disagrees
    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…

    i think you are thinking

    of a spot start by Carrasco…

    CHANGES MADE

    Does it add up now?

    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.

    Not an error

    but this Adenhart 4 is just so wrong

    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.
