Winning Again

C.C. Sabathia won again tonight to move his record to 6-1. He pitched well, allowing the Twins just one run over eight innings. He threw 105 pitches, 73 for strikes.

This is Milliliter's seventh year in the majors, and he's never had a losing record. Twice he was one game over .500. For his career, he's now 87-57, a .604 winnings percentage. When I get up tomorrow, I'll have to look up how many pitchers were over .500 in their first seven seasons.

To help you with your research, there was a skinny pitcher named Ruth who pitched in ten seasons with a winning record in every year.

For this research, you can start with Roy Oswalt.

Take a look at Tim Hudson. He came up in June of 1999 and went 11-2 his rookie year. When he went 13-12 (still a winning record) in 2006 it was the first year his winning % was below .600. He's 5-1 so far this year, on track for a 9th consecutive winning season. He has more than twice as many wins in his career (124) as losses (61). Damn, that's impressive. If he has a long career he might have a shot at 300 wins.

Wikipedia says he holds the record for consecutive seasons with 10+ wins and 9 or fewer losses (1999-2005).
