Much to the disappointment of all, the Red Bank Mallrats miracle run ended this week, and the Dutchmen claimed victory. With this game, Trigger moves to 4-0 on the season, the only remaining undefeated team.
Last week, we looked at all the 3-0 teams going back to 2001, 31 teams hit that mark. Let us now take a look at how the 2022 Dutch match up with all the other squads to start 4-0…
| RANK | YEAR | MANAGER | ORG. SCORE | ADJ. SCORE |
| 1 | 2020 | Chris | 10680 | 10680.00 |
| 2 | 2011 | Kronner | 10947 | 9917.98 |
| 3 | 2015 | Jason | 9612 | 9612.00 |
| 4 | 2003 | Jones | 6958 | 9532.46 |
| 5 | 2004 | Trigger | 6793 | 9306.41 |
| 6 | 2016 | Steve | 9133 | 9133.00 |
| 7 | 2018 | Matt | 9105 | 9105.00 |
| 8 | 2021 | Kaiser | 8952 | 8952.00 |
| 9 | 2012 | Kronner | 9507 | 8946.09 |
| 10 | 2014 | Chris | 9668 | 8894.56 |
| 11 | 2002 | Matt | 6484 | 8883.08 |
| 12 | 2017 | John | 8803 | 8803.00 |
| 13 | 2007 | Timmy | 7461 | 8729.37 |
| 14 | 2019 | Matt | 8667 | 8667.00 |
| 15 | 2015 | Chris | 8609 | 8609.00 |
| 16 | 2003 | Chris | 6236 | 8543.32 |
| 17 | 2009 | Ryan | 7107 | 8315.19 |
| 18 | 2022 | Trigger | 8123 | 8123.00 |
| 19 | 2017 | Steve | 7827 | 7827.00 |
| 20 | 2019 | Jones | 7371 | 7371.00 |
The first thing we notice here, our number plummets from 31 down to 20, which makes sense. Certainly harder to win 4 in a row than 3.
Other notes…
- Both Jason and Sanchez make this list in their very first season.
- With the current Mallrats team eliminated, that makes the 2019 Skippers squad the weakest 4-0 start we’ve had.
- Chris holds the record for most 3-0 starts (7), so it makes sense he also has the most 4-0 starts (4) as well.
- Kaiser leads Kronner for 8th place by fewer than 3 points in the adjusted score.
Should Trigger win again, we’ll see how many of these teams were able to get to 5-0…
