Posted By: <b>barrysloate</b><p>The best record during the season for a pitcher without a loss was 18-0 for Roy Face, but he lost his last decision.<br /><br />Corrected as Face won 18 games, and not 19.

Posted By: <b>ali_lapoint</b><p>ah 18-1 in 1959. that is really impressive too but he threw less than 100 innings. i was thinking of starting pitchers but that is a great season too.

Posted By: <b>barrysloate</b><p>Randy Johnson finished a season 20-2, the best percentage for a twenty-game winner. Roger Clemens was once 20-1 late in the season, but lost his last two starts.

Posted By: <b>Arthur Lobbe</b><p>The most amazing year for me was Steve Carlton's 1972 Season in which he won 27 of the team's 59 wins with a sub 2.00 ERA. Not being a Phillie nor a Carlton fan this one to me is just impressive. I do remember Face's season in 1959 and if I remember correctly his ERA wan't great and he blew a number of leads in which the Pirates came back and won the game.

Posted By: <b>howard</b><p>Earl Hamilton set a record of sorts by going winless in 1917 (0-9) and undefeated (6-0) in 1918. Not a lot of decisions but kooky stats nonetheless.<br /><br />Barry, Randy Johnson finished one season 18-2 and two years later was 20-4. In between he went 5-0 for a three year record of 43-6. Amazing!

Posted By: <b>Frank Wakefield</b><p>I like Steve's recollection of Johnny Allen's 15-1 in 1937. He gets forgotten... That was the year the old rookie Jim Turner won 20 games.<br /><br />Spud Chandler was dominate in 1943. 20-4.<br /><br />Smokey Joe Wood had a really good year in there somewhere...<br /><br /><br /><br />I go with Barry, Face had one fine year. And as best as I can tell, a game won in relief counts as much as a game won by a starter.<br /><br /><br />
