LHP Wins: Lilly vs Sabathia

[Southpaw191679666239]

There was a Cubs game earlier this year, where Len and Bob were discussing most wins by a LHP in a certain time frame. Lilly was second only to Sabathia. Problem is ... I don't remember the exact stat, or how many Lilly was behind Sabathia.

 

Lilly has 7 wins and C.C. has 5. Does anyone remember this and can someone shed some light on this? I'd like to keep track of this for the season, because I think it's a cool stat; even though W-L is meaningless most of the time.

I don't recall that stat being mentioned since I haven't watched many games lately, but it was probably since 2003 since that was when Lilly first won 10 games as a starter (he won 12 that year) and was his first full year as a starter. Since then he has 88 wins including this season. Sabathia since 2003 has 103

It cant be since 2003, cause Johan has more then Sabathia since then as well. I think the stat may be wrong, cause I cant imagine a time frame where either of them have more wins then Johan over a long period of time.

Good call, forgot about him. Yeah, that stat seems like it's a bit out of whack now. Must be some sort of quirky stipulation, like wins by a LHP during day games or something

No, I remember what you are talking about. I think you just mis-read. I believe Lilly is like 4th on the list.

id assume buerthle would have more than that too but could be wrong.
