Who holds the Royals club record for most consecutive scoreless innings, and in what year did he accomplish it?

KCBOOMER · 02-20-2005, 01:42 PM

If it is the guy I'm thinking of they traded him at the end of this season for a guy who hit .234 in his first season as a Royal.

Nope. I have no idea who your guess is, but it is wrong.

PianoMonkey · 02-22-2005, 06:21 AM

The same year, he pitched a one-hit complete game, but lost 1-0 as the lone hit was a solo home run by Rafael Palmiero.

I Guess he is Kevin Appier.

KCBOOMER · 02-22-2005, 04:00 PM

The guy I think did this had a streak of 26 innings in 1972. Maybe Appier had a longer one, but I don't know.

KCBOOMER · 02-22-2005, 04:08 PM

I stand corrected. Appier had a streak of 36 innings in 1993 and he did lose a game 1-0 to Texas on a Palmeiro homer. I thougt it might be Roger Nelson who had 26 consecutive innings in 1972.

Funny, the Reds can't remember the last time they had a pitcher go 3 consecutive innings without giving up a run.....

PianoMonkey · 02-23-2005, 12:22 AM

It was Ape, but I thought his record was 33 innings.

You are probably right. I was going through Retrosheet for this info and counting up the innings. I probably made a mistake.

Here's a poser, Boom: Going into spring training, are we elated that Appier has a significant chance of making the rotation, or are we mortified that Appier actually has a significant chance of making the rotation?

It is enough to make you contemplate switching to soccer as your game of choice.
