MLB Trivia...

[Heim]

Corbin looks he's on track for 20 losses...

Which brings up this trivia.....Who was the last 20 game winner and loser in the same season?

 

[kane]

I think the last guy to lose 20 was Anthony Young with the Mets

No. The question is who won and lost 20 in the same season. Believe it or not, has happened a few times.

 

[kane]

No idea, considering a pitcher has to make over 40 starts in a season to win and lose 20 games, it must have happened long ago

 

[Viejo Dinosaur]

Niekro and Randy Jones in the 70s….also guessing one of the Orioles pitchers when they had four 20 game winners with Wilbur Wood losing 20

 

[Heim]

Niekro 1979


I remember when Oakland shut down Keough at 19 (loses) because they thought 20 losses would cause psychological problems lol

Good one VD.

I was thinking knucklers because of the number of starts required......

Less wear and tear on the arm.

Just for kicks, Mike Maroth in 2003 was the last pitcher to lose 20 games in 2003 ending up with a 9-21 in his second season with the Tigers.

Wilbur Wood won and lost 20 in the same season as well

I remember he started both games of a doubleheader.

I remember Palmtree used to always bet the NO on a prop "Would a MLB pitcher lose 20 or more games in a season". Won almost all years he bet.

 

[ComptrBob]

Wilbur Wood won and lost 20 in the same season as well

I remember he started both games of a doubleheader.

Yep, he went 24-20 in 1973 for the White Sox.

 

[jimmythegreek]

And Blake Snell for TB last won 20 in 2018 with a 21-5 mark.

This season he signed for all that money in SF and hasn't yet won a game.

 

[MrTop]

wilbur wood threw with 2-3 days rest..knuckle ball

 

[Valuist]

I thought Nolan Ryan but I looked it up; his most losses in a year was 18. He did have two 20 win seasons.

 

[MrTop]

Yep, he went 24-20 in 1973 for the White Sox.

that year i was 12 y/o.. so i was still buying topps baseball cards. I remember a lot of guys back then. LOL

I can't stand that pud. Yeah he pitched well for the Rays but really showed his ass on the COVID issue.

That said I swallowed my resentment and played him FF tonight against the Dodgers......

Let down spot for the boys in blue after sweeping Boston and playing Sunday night.

Smell pitched well his last few trips to the circle.
