What is the Indian's Record when Johny Mac Starts...???

[Alex]

I know Johnny Mac had very little to do with today's exciting come from behind win against Detroit, heck, he had TWO errors!

But does anyone know the Indians Record when Johnny Mac starts?

[Ytown Tribe fan]

The Tribe is 45-58 (.437) after 103 games.

Johnny's played in 45 games, and the Tribe is 19-26 (.422) in those games. That includes all appearances. We are 26-32 (.448) in games that he hasn't played in.

In the 33 games that Mac's had at least 2 plate appearances (whether starting or not), the Tribe is 15-18 (.455), and we are 30-40 (.429) in games in whach he hasn't had at least 2 PA's.

Not too much of a defining pattern, except that we are slightly better when he plays most of the game than when he doesn't. He's not much of a factor in that regard.

Thanks for doing the leg work on that Youngstown fan.

Keep in mind that since our glorious 11-1 start that Johnny Mac had little to do with...we have been playing .400 ball at best...so suddenly, you could make the argument that he is a stabilizing "force" in the line-up.
