F1 = C1 for my SP, but I can't find a pitcher with a C as their last letter.

 

[cjedmonton]

F1 = C1 for my SP, but I can't find a pitcher with a C as their last letter.

Sorry about that. A minor glitch/oversight. Please move down one cell to D1 for your pitcher code.

BTW - Thanks for the contest! I forgot to put that in my original entry post as I was typing it out on my phone and didn't want to edit.

 

[Ghumbs]

Starting Pitcher 5: C4, C4 - Camilo Pascual, 1956 ERA: 187(-3) = -561
Total: -201

 

[Y4NK335]

SP1 - N4, A13, Bert Blyleven - (1982) .211 BAA = 20 (HOF) x 39 = 780

SP3 - N21, L11, Tim Hudson - (2009) 13 BB = -5 x 13 = -65
SP4 - Z3, I11, Javier Vazquez - No Career Saves = 0
SP5 - R2, G12, Bob Feller, (1950) 247 IP = 4 (HOF) x 247 = 988

Solid round, good thing Hudson was injured for most of 2009!

 

[Wainwright]

Starting Pitcher 1: A1,B7 Mike Mussina Innings Pitched (2nd Season) 241x2= 482
Starting Pitcher 2: D2,E13 Tim Keefe WHIP (5th Season) HOF .93 32x20= 640

Got Lucky with Hough. Only pitched 2.2 innings that year

Sucked I got Saves for Blyleven who had no saves BUT the year I had him for he had his only 2 save opportunities but didnt get the save.

 

[SportsWriterMAB]

Take what Fernando was < .500 not the whole amount. If we was. 500 even then total is 0

He was 0-2 that season. So he had a .000 winning percentage which is 500 points below .500. 500x-3 is -1500. I think I'm doing it right.

Thanks for trying to help I wasn't sure if I was doing it right the first time. Hopefully the rest of the team can make it up.

 

[Casebusters]

on the top 100 list, do we sort it for each category we fit in? or is it in order by Strikeouts?

 

[Hendersonfan]

I left in order it was in

These are not your selections......you calculated for my pitchers (but also missed a last name that ended in 'R'). This is why we got different pitchers for the SP4 slot. hal newhouser is the 11th pitcher with his last name ending in 'R'. You needed to select the 10th pitcher which would be Orel Hershiser.

I got a total of 502.5 (two with negative categories and one using saves - not a big stat for the top K-men - didn't help much). Please let me know if I messed up any of this:
