I never had 4 20-game winners on one team until the past month, and now I've had two teams do it.  The first doesn't really count since it was a prog team and I had a lot more salary than nearly every other team in the league.  But the more recent team is kind of impressive, I think.  It's from an 80M single-season twist theme (I've got the 2006 Dodgers), and at the 154-game mark we're 107-47. 

Here are the 20-game winners (all have between 230-246 IP):

2002 Odalis Perez, 23-5, 2.32
1995 Greg Maddux, 22-8, 1.50
2002 Derek Lowe, 20-9, 2.57
1998 Brett Tomko, 20-12, 4.84

Tomko appears to have done it with smoke and mirrors -- the league ERA is 4.49, so he's really got no business being 20-12.

wow, and no Joss! It can be done with modern day pitchers!

I had three 20-game losers on a team that just finished 67-95.

1968 Bob Gibson   13-25, 3.38, 317 IP  (most losses in the league)
1985 John Tudor    11-22, 3.91, 290 IP
1968 Luis Tiant       12-22, 3.49, 263 IP

$120M cap theme league.  The top pitcher in the 24-team league was 1908 Addie Joss (25-10, 2.41, 358 IP).  8 of the top 10 pitchers were pre-1920 seasons, the 2 exceptions were a 1994 Maddux and a 1995 Maddux.  The league ERA was 3.92, and my team ERA was 3.43 (9th).

I think I've only done it once ever.  pretty cool crazys.

I've had 3 20 game winners not four. That is impressive.

I've had 9

Usually your sarcastic comments don't even make me flinch, but I snickered at this one.

which is probably 8 more than women that you've had....

9 more dummy

I currently have 3 pitchers w/20+ wins in the J4MS progressive:

Bob Gibson '69 (R)	46	26-7	333.0	2.86	.233	1.23	7.22	3.08	10.71M
Sam McDowell '69 (L)	45	25-9	309.2	2.64	.223	1.25	8.11	3.75	9.27M
Larry Dierker '69 (R)	43	21-10	322.1	2.54	.197	0.98	6.84	2.37	9.98M

How many games are left ryno? Do you have a shot at the equally rare three 30 game winner squad? Hmm, brings up an interesting question. Three man rotations are used a lot in the SIM.

Which is harder to accomplish...
Four 20 game winners or three 30 game winners?

three 30s, obviously... 90 games is more wins in the rotation then 80...

Do actual wins and losses mean anything in this game for pitchers?

even though i have enough wins as a hole...currently 99-49...thanks to my offense not scoring for Dierker, the 30/30/30 mark is unreachable for me.  If Gibson and McDowell both win out (Gibson at 26-8 has 4 starts left and McDowell at 25-9 has 5 starts left) they can both reach 30. But Dierker, even if he wins out will only reach 26.

I am hoping he wins out regardless though as I currently am  #1, #2, and #4 in Cy Young voting...if Dierker can just get a few more wins I have a great shot at having the top 3 spots.
