Clemens = Cy Young


Recommended Posts

It's Roger Clemens vs. Randy Johnson, with apologies to Roy Oswalt and Ben Sheets, to be announced today. Rocket is going for his 7th Cy Young; the Unit is trying to match him at 6:

 

 

     Roger  Randy

W-L   18-4  16-14

ERA   2.98   2.60

IP   214.1  245.2

H      169    177

BB      79     44

SO     218    290

 

 

Clemens, of course, had greater run support; Johnson was 13-2 when Arizona scored more than 2 runs. Johnson's 8.10 hits+walks per nine innings was the best in the NL since Greg Maddux in 1995. Johnson also had 31 more innings pitched.

 

On the other hand, Clemens pitched in a pennant race; Houston won his last nine starts. The vote: Clemens wins. The Quickie vote: The Big Unit. He would have won 20+ playing with Houston.
