You scratch my back and I'll scratch yours.

Name the two sets of pitchers that have saved at least 3 games that the other started and vice versa, since 1954.

In otherwords Andy Pettite starts a game and Dave Wetteland saves it and then at some point Dave Wetteland starts a game and Andy Pettite saves it.

[Gee Walker]

I'm guessing that Rich Gossage and Terry Forster might be one of the pairs.

[RuthMayBond]

Maybe Feller and Lemon?

[Ubiquitous]

Incorrect on Forster and Gossage. Forster never saved a game of Gossage's.

As for LEmon and Feller I do not know. If it happened then Feller had to have done it between 1946 and 1948 while Lemon had to have done it between 1946 and 1953.

[RuthMayBond]

Bill Sherdel & Lou North could have even done it
Bender and Plank?
Shawkey/Mogridge/Carl Mays/Sam Jones?
Hubbell/Cliff Melton?

This whole "since 1954" thing just gets lost on you doesn't it?

[RuthMayBond]

This whole "since 1954" thing just gets lost on you doesn't it?Smoltz and Kent Mercker, then?
Eckersley and Stan Thomas/Bob Stanley/Eric Plunk?

[EJetson]

Kerry Wood and Ryan Dempster?

[Ubiquitous]

Dempster only saved one of Wood's games while Wood saved 4 of Dempster's.

Eckersley only has one other match and each of them only saved one game for the other and it wasn't any of the names you listed.

[Gravy Train]

Dick Drago and Bob Stanley (1980)?

[Ubiquitous]

Burgmeier saved all of Drago's games when he was in Boston. Though he did save 3 of Stanley's games in 1979.

If the phrase "since 1954" comes into play, I have the feeling that one of them might be either Sal Maglie or Johnny Antonelli and Marv Grissom from the '54 Giants-

[Ubiquitous]

Antonelli's name comes up 3 different times and Sal's name comes up once but not for each other and neither of them have it as 3 saves and wins

Antonelli saved 5 of Sam Jones' games but Sam only saved one of Johnny's.

[powderblue]

How about Steve Bedrosian and Rick Camp on the 1980s Braves?

or

Derek Lowe and Tim Wakefield on the late 90-early 00s Red Sox?

[Ubiquitous]

Wakefield and Lowe is one of the sets..

Wakefield saved 3 of Lowe's games and Lowe saved 6 of Wakefield's games.

In correct on Bedrosian and Camp.

There is one more set left.

[powderblue]

winner winner, i'm a winner...

...err, half of a winner, at least.

[josh24]

Sam McDowell and Sonny Siebert?

[RuthMayBond]

The whole "since 1954" thing just gets lost on you doesn't it?The whole "give us an answer within three months" thing just gets lost on you, doesn't it? :highfive:

[Macker]

How about Tim Wakefield & Tom Gordon?

[Ubiquitous]

Tom Gordon saved one of Mark Davis' games and Mark saved two of his but Wakefield never saved a game for Gordon.

[Ubiquitous]

Sam McDowell and Sonny Siebert?


Correct on McDowell and Siebert.
