MLB Trivia: Name the top ten leaders in strikeouts among active pitchers.

Posted by musubi May 25 '10, 12:57

I have to admit I was surprised both by the appearance of some names and the order they're in.

1 moose point for every correct answer.

I'm surprised noone guessed #11 and #12. (spoils for 11 and 12) - musubi May 25, 13:15 2
- you only asked for the top ten... -- nm - znufrii May 25, 13:16 1

peavy -- nm - dogbert May 25, 13:06 1
- I thought you had this one. -- nm - David May 25, 13:12
[deleted] 15
- #7. (nm) - musubi May 25, 13:09 2
  - Wow. -- nm - David May 25, 13:10
  - [deleted]
- If Livan Hernandez and Chan Ho Park are both in the top 10...well, that's pathetic. -- nm - David May 25, 13:08 11
  - Livan didn't surprise me that much. Livan is fourth among actives in Innings pitched. (nm) - musubi May 25, 13:11 4
    - Park was a strikeout pitcher as a Dodger. Livan has been throwing slop since he was 20. -- nm - David May 25, 13:12 3
      - Livan has pitched 850 more innings. Eight. Hundred. Fifty. (nm) - musubi May 25, 13:14 2
        
        Watch him wind up with 300 wins. (nm) - David May 25, 13:15 1

  - I miss roids. -- nm - TFox May 25, 13:10 5
    - Testify. :( -- nm - Big Papi May 25, 13:12 4
      - #2 in MLB in HRs in May. Just saying. -- nm - TFox May 25, 13:13 3
        
        What has he done for me lately!?!?!?!? -- nm - Shaun May 25, 13:16 2
        
        (batted .365 with a shitload of power.) -- nm - TFox May 25, 13:17 1
        
        That does nothing for me. He should pay off my mortgage. -- nm - Shaun May 25, 13:18
Chan Ho Park -- nm - Will Hunting May 25, 13:05 8
- #8. Admit it, you cheated on this one. Nobody on earth guesses this name. Nobody. (nm) - musubi May 25, 13:09 6
  - Nah, I went down the list of guys who are older than dirt. - Will Hunting May 25, 13:27
  - [deleted]
  - He was the highest paid pitcher in the game at one point. A million years ago. -- nm - David May 25, 13:09 3
    - That's like guessing Darren Dreifort. - musubi May 25, 13:12 2
      - No *sane* human. Hi...nice to meet you. -- nm - Will Hunting May 25, 13:28
      - Touche. -- nm - David May 25, 13:14
- I keep thinking he's a stadium in the Cactus League. -- nm - the liioulu with lenticular catepillars May 25, 13:06
Zambrano...oops...that's Gatorade machine stats. -- nm - the liioulu with lenticular catepillars May 25, 13:03
zambrano -- nm - dogbert May 25, 13:03 2
- Not top 20 (nm) - musubi May 25, 13:05
- johan -- nm - dogbert May 25, 13:04
Halladay! -- nm - Shaun May 25, 13:03
[deleted] 11
- #4 (nm) - musubi May 25, 13:03
- Derek Lowe from that same staff once upon a time. Sabathia and Halladay are on there if they've pitched long enough. -- nm - David May 25, 13:03 9
  - Lowe: 18, Sabathia: 9, Halladay: 10 (nm) - musubi May 25, 13:04 3
    - Kyle, what's the strikeout difference between 10th place and 18th? -- nm - David May 25, 13:07 2
      - Err, Moose. Sorry. -- nm - David May 25, 13:07 1
        
        Relatively small: Halladay has 1554 K's, Lowe has 1419. (nm) - musubi May 25, 13:18
  - And Santana as well. -- nm - David May 25, 13:04 4
    - #6, beat dogbert by 9 seconds. (nm) - musubi May 25, 13:06 2
      - no he didn't, we all know he meant ervin -- nm - dogbert May 25, 13:07
      - He's one we all should have thought of much quicker. -- nm - David May 25, 13:06
    - [deleted]
Riveria -- nm - Shaun May 25, 13:01 4
- I assume you meant Mariano Rivera, no, he's not remotely close to top 10. (nm) - musubi May 25, 13:03 3
  - That's who I meant. -- nm - Shaun May 25, 13:04
  - Marinara Riviera! -- nm - TFox May 25, 13:03 1
    - tasty -- nm - the liioulu with lenticular catepillars May 25, 13:04
Josefine Touray? - Danedukenuuk May 25, 13:00
Javier Vazquez -- nm - David May 25, 12:59 8
- #2, with 2287. He's been good (and underrated) for a long time. (nm) - musubi May 25, 13:02 7
  - Is Millwood on there? He's older and has a power arm. -- nm - David May 25, 13:02 6
    - #5 His was one of two names that surprised me. (nm) - musubi May 25, 13:08
    - Wait, Javy will be the active strikeout leader once Moyer retires/dies? -- nm - David May 25, 13:04 4
      - [deleted]
      - Someone go confiscate David's knives. -- nm - TFox May 25, 13:04 2
        
        Arodys Vizcaino threw 7 2/3 innings of shutout baseball with 9Ks the day before yesterday. Yes, I'm watching him carefully. -- nm - David May 25, 13:05 1
        
        A hard-core prospect watcher on one of the Mets fan boards raves about him. - musubi May 25, 13:20
Brandon Morrow -- nm - TFox May 25, 12:59 1
- oh. not this season? -- nm - TFox May 25, 12:59
Smoltz *if active*....Moyer, Pedro, Pettitte, Livan -- nm - Will Hunting May 25, 12:58 1
- Not active, 1, not active, 3, 7. (clarification: active means "on active roster (or DL)") (nm) - musubi May 25, 13:01
[deleted] 2
- Number one among active pitchers, Moyer has 2372 Ks. Burnett is 13th, Beckett isn't top 20. (nm) - musubi May 25, 13:00 1
