July 11, 200421 yr Just curious now that he has gotten 9 wins is it still possible for him to get 20... Exactly how many more starts does he have left on the year...
July 11, 200421 yr There is more than 55 games left. 11 victories needed x 5 day rotation= 55 games Alright now i get yeah.
July 11, 200421 yr Each starter usually gets around 33 starts a year, i dont know where you are getting 55 left this year? 162/5= 32.4
July 11, 200421 yr I said this before, THERE ARE MORE THAN 55 MORE GAMES LEFT SO HE COULD 11 MORE WINS.
July 11, 200421 yr I said this before, THERE ARE MORE THAN 55 MORE GAMES LEFT SO HE COULD 11 MORE WINS. Ok. I read it wrong. But i still dont think he will get 20 wins this year though. He should have about 15 more starts and he can only get 4 losses and no decisons in those 15 so he would have to get pretty lucky.

But let’s not forget how many No Decisions he got in the last days of April and in the beginning of May. I remember he had that 1-1 record for some time which really didn't help him.
July 11, 200421 yr He has a shot at getting 20 though. He definitely has a shot. There are 78 games left this year. I figured that 18 wins would be the ceiling after he only won one game in the month of April, though.
July 11, 200421 yr Don't forget the shortened rotation that the Sox have already had, plus the fact that most 1-3 starters get between 34-35 starts per year. In the past 4 years, Mark has had 32 (2001), 35 (2002), 34 (2003), and 19 (2004) starts. In his 19 starts this year, he's gone 9-2 with 8 no decisions. He has 14-16 starts left, assuming he stays healthy. He'll need to go 11-3 - 11-5 in those starts to reach 20 wins. Incidentally, the team is 5-3 in the games in which he's had no decision.
July 11, 200421 yr He's already gotten no-decisions in 3 or 4 games that he should have won, so had he gotten one or two of those, he'd have a lot better shot. I'd say there is a decent shot if he keeps rolling after the AS Break...

So the team is 14-5 in games started by MB. That's almost 75%. You can't expect more than that from a starting pitcher.
