April 17, 20179 yr Most starting pitchers used in a season? They used 15 last year in 2016. The record is 24. The "modern" record would be 1967 Mets at 20. No team has used 18 since 1996. Where do the Reds end up? Year Tm #Starters 1 1915 Philadelphia Athletics 24 2 1967 New York Mets 20 3 1955 Baltimore Orioles 19 4 1946 Philadelphia Phillies 19 5 1944 Brooklyn Dodgers 19 6 1935 Philadelphia Athletics 19 7 1919 Philadelphia Athletics 19 8 1915 St. Louis Browns 19 9 1996 Pittsburgh Pirates 18 10 1993 Cleveland Indians 18
April 17, 20179 yr Already at 6 just a few weeks into the season. Gotta figure it will perhaps be 7 when Finnegan's next turn comes up.
April 17, 20179 yr I don't think so, we've used 6 so far and 7 likely coming up with a Finnegan out, I'm thinking we'll use probably 10 or 11 no more than about 13 tho this season, because technically the only reason we're at 6 or 7 is because of injuries, when Bailey & Desclafani come back we can make it 9, and Stephenson, Reed, & Adleman might start at some point.
April 18, 20179 yr Already have 1 start: 1. Feldman 2. Arroyo 3. Finnegan 4. Garrett 5. Rookie Davis 6. Sal Romano Any other starters so far this year? The following are likely to make at least one start this year: 7. Homer Bailey 8. Anthony Desclafani 9. Cody Reed 10. Robert Stephenson Possibly Make a Start: 11. Tim Adleman 12. Michael Lorenzen 13. Blake Wood 14. Luis Castillo 15. Barrett Astin 16. Tony Cingrani 17. Iglesias Anybody else?
April 18, 20179 yr Just listing those pitchers makes you realize why the Reds needed to give a couple veteran arms a chance to play. There are several talented prospects, but they're not capable of pitching 200 big league innings individually.
April 18, 20179 yr To answer the question in the thread: No, the Reds will not break this record this year.
April 18, 20179 yr Others you can add to the "possible" category.....Jackson Stephens and Tyler Mahle...Still not going to break the record.
April 18, 20179 yr Just listing those pitchers makes you realize why the Reds needed to give a couple veteran arms a chance to play. There are several talented prospects, but they're not capable of pitching 200 big league innings individually. And some not even close. Only 15 guys threw over 200 innings last year.
April 22, 20179 yr Author It looks like it will be the 9th starter when Reed's turn comes up again next.
May 11, 20179 yr Author Starter #9 (Bonilla) with a 5.61 ERA in the minors will be Saturday's starter.
June 22, 20179 yr Author Starter # 11 on Friday (Castillo) followed by Starter # 12 on Saturday (Bailey)
July 26, 20179 yr Author 14 starting pitchers thru Game 100. 4 more to enter the Top 10. 6 more to tie the modern record.
