Cy Young started 411 games in the 1890s.  Palmer started 352 in the 1970s.  

Steve Barber had 211 in the 1960s.  Hal Brown 77 from '54-59. McGregor 247 in the 80s.  Mussina 254 in the 90s.

Thanks, you saved me the work.    I was planning to look at who led the O’s in other decades.     It’s certainly no surprise that Palmer easily had the most in any decade, followed by Mussina.   I doubt I could have told you that McGregor was close to Mussina.   (I see that Cuellar also had 244 in the 70’s.)    Nor would I have guessed that Barber led in the ‘60’s, but that’s mainly because I wasn’t paying attention until 1966.

McGregor surprised me, since he was only good in the first few years of the decade.  His ERA+ was never 100 after '83.  I would have guessed Boddicker, but I forget he was an '83 rookie and was traded mid-year '88 so he only had 180 Oriole starts.

And... it wouldn't be me if I wasn't a bit more complete:

1870s: Bobby Mathews, 47 (all in '72)

1880s: Matt Kilroy, 233

1890s: Sadie McMahon: 225

1901-02: Joe McGinnity, 66

It would take much more effort to compile the minor league Orioles' numbers.  And the records aren't complete, so it's probably not possible with online sources.  Lefty Grove did start 154 games for the O's in the 1920s, but that might not lead the team.  Jack Ogden appeared in many more games, but starts are not broken out for his time with the IL Orioles.

This got me to thinking, who started the most games for the Orioles in the previous decade?     And the answer of course, is Sidney Ponson (160), followed closely by Daniel Cabrera (146).

What a dark, dark decade.    

I would have guessed Rodrigo without looking it up, but maybe he crossed over into the 2010s.

    • You just can’t win with an offense this bad. It was an overreaction a month ago when they were getting called embarrassing or pathetic after a bad game. It legitimately might be an understatement at this point.  They have scored 4 runs or less in 19 out of their last 24 games (and 11 of their last 12 games) against teams that aren’t the Rockies or the White Sox. In those 19 games, they have scored 44 total runs (2.32 per game). In two of those games, they scored exactly 5 runs. In another, they scored 10 runs and lost. In another, they had 2 runs going into the 8th. Again, anyone complaining about this offense is underselling it at this point. In total, they have 80 runs in those 24 games (3.33 per game). In their last 8 games overall (including the White Sox), they have scored 15 runs. This offense is completely broken.
    • This team does not hit the fastball well, that's not good.
    • Plenty of teams limp into the playoffs and then make a deep run. This team has enough talent to do it, I just want to see Mayo and Kjerstad finally given a shot to play every day (put Kjerstad in RF, Santander at 1B, Mayo the full time DH), and move away from struggling/low ceiling vets like O'Hearn, Eloy, Rivera, and Slater.  Mayo and Kjerstad playing regularly and Westburg making it back for the playoffs could transform the lineup. I think Hyde is a terrible manager who can't write out a good lineup to save his life, but this offense has been so bad for so long that I think even he's capable of making those changes.  If Webb, Coloumbe, and Grayson can all make it back healthy, they'll also make a difference. 
    • Another Hyde thread 🙄
    • How am I scapegoating him? He hasn't played well for a very long time. I'm just saying give Mayo a legit shot.
    • Am looking forward to the season being over.  Yankees are taking full advantage of the O’s ineptitude - as they should.   Team is so inept offensively and does not seem fixable.  Bad combo of too many players still trying to figure things out. Have no idea what to expect over the next 2 weeks,  but currently they are unwatchable and an overall joyless bunch.   Need new dugout leadership that can help this team unlock its potential,  Hyde is no longer the answer and I think he knows it.
