Starting pitcher question - What is the record for fastest to 10 losses?

[choslamshe]

Joan Adon (1-9) looks to lose his 10th game in the Nats 57th of the season.

 

[Chi_Archie]

the last 20 game loser, Mike Maroth, lost his 10th game on May 28 during that dreadful 2003 Tiger season. not saying he was fastest. but just the logical comparison I looked at first.

 

[Chi_Archie]

that was the 51st game of season for Tigers that year.

Matt Keough, the former A's pitcher, used to live a few blocks from me. His wife was one of the original Housewives of OC...anyways,

A's shut him down after 18 losses in the early 80s because they thought it would affect him psychologically going forward.

didn't billy martin run him into the ground?

 

[choslamshe]

Forgot about Maroth and that season. 51st game...geeze

 

[FairWarning]

didn't billy martin run him into the ground?

Yes.those A’s teams were the last to have a 3 man rotation.

From 2014: "Any pitcher" over 17 losses -110

I bet this one every single year. Going back to 1999, a pitcher on a major league roster has lost at least 17 games every season. That's 14 years in a row. Last year I got it over 17.5+185 and Edwin Jackson came through for me on the last Saturday of the regular season. For obvious reasons, it will almost always be a back of the rotation guy who is an innings eater. It's very easy to trust a trend that has held up 14 years consecutively. I think over 17.5 at +180 are better is also fine.

A blast from the past, this was his favorite prop, from (now deceased) MLB capper PalmTree.

God bless PalmTree.

He was a good guy.

RIP Eric Strasser.

on an another note Martin took over for a team that lost 108 games in 1979 and the following season they were 83-79 playing
Billy Ball.

It had to be back before teams went to 5 man rotations. Back in those days, starters could make 40 starts a season.

Jeana Tomasino - Playboy Playmate November 1980 when she was 5'7" and about 115 as opposed to now when she is 5'7" and at least 175+

Matt Keough died a couple years ago.
His father Marty was also a major league player. He’s still alive.

Jeana Tomasino was one of the legs girls on ZZ Top videos. Winkyduck current weight guess is accurate.

Which player’s ex wife had more popular videos? Keough or Chuck Finley?

Finley. Not even close. Jeana was one of many in the ZZ Top videos. Never featured.

When you mention the name Tawny Kitaen the FIRST thing people think of is her prancing around in this video and when you hear the song, once again, your first thought is of her and the car. She died about a year ago (May 7) just before her 60th B-day and her last hubby was Angels pitcher Chuck Finley

She did this video in 1987 when she was 25/26 y/o - who she dated and later married

Funny, Oakland had no problem allowing Brian Kingman to lose 20 in '80. Keough they shut down

 

[Almost Allright]

Yes.those A’s teams were the last to have a 3 man rotation.

Fairly certain during Billy’s time there was an SI cover The Amazing A’s and their Five Aces
