To be fair, Raphy started it by posting about Clippard's 6-0 record 🙂

Thanks for jinxing Clippard. I'm a Nats fan and had him on my fantasy team 🙂

"how many other guys played at least 20 years with only 1 hit?"

Looks like only one -- Dan Plesac -- but a few others have come close:

Something I just found out that I didn't realize: Back in 2008, Rivera passed the 1000 IP mark and thus qualified for the pitching leaderboards. He's the active leader in ERA, WHIP, SO/BB, HR/9, ERA+ (by 60 points, best all time by 50 points), PtchR, RE24, WPA, REW, RF/9, and Fld%. If/when Trevor Hoffman retires, he'll also take over the active lead in G, S, GF, and H/9.

Villanueva and Clippard can also be removed from the list.

Bailey got lit up last night so he is off this list.

Mariano rolls along at age 40. A WHIP of 0.56. Wow.

Given his lengthy career as a reliever, Arthur Rhodes only has a handful of plate appearances, 5 total in 19 seasons. Despite several years in the NL, 4 of those at-bats (and his 1 hit, a single) came as an AL pitcher. (From this game in Philly, which he also won for Baltimore.) http://www.baseball-reference.com/boxes/PHI/PHI199806080.shtml Assuming Rhodes comes back next year--how many other guys played at least 20 years with only 1 hit?

Marmol's strikeout rate has been phenomenal.
