What is the world record for home runs given up in a single outing?
This cannot have occurred prior to 1900 ( my rule ).
It cannot include some drunk who pitched both ends of a double header, either.
And, oh yes, it has to be on a Major League Baseball team.
I would like to leave Haney ( Heaney?) in the game for the full nine innings, regardless of consequences.
Because this is clearly a "give-away" game. we might as well put something in the record books.
Related question ( which can be ignored ): Since Heaney is going to give up 7-10 runs in 3-4 innings, isn't there some kid in AA or AAA who would benefit from the experience of pitching in Yankee stadium?
I mean, I know it took the pandemic and the fall of Afghanistan to force the Yankees to give Luis Gil a start, but isn't this a similar situation?
Please send answers on the back of " black and white" cookies to our leader.
Honest question: if Heaney gets blasted again tonight, what's the argument for keeping him on the roster? How does he avoid being DFAed?
ReplyDeleteHe's a free agent at the end of the year. A pure rental. He's not part of our longterm plans.
He can't stay in the rotation with an ERA north of 9.00.
Gerrit Cole
Jameson Taillon
Jordan Montgomery
Corey Kluber
Nestor Cortes
Luis Gil
Domingo German
No need for Heaney when the corpse of Kluber and German return to the roster.
And what are we gonna do, stick him in the bullpen? We already have a small army of left-handed relievers. Why do we need another one?
Aroldis Chapman (eventually)
Zack Britton
Wandy Peralta
Lucas Luetge
Joely Rodriguez
What role does Heaney play down the stretch? There's nothing. We can't send him to AAA either since he's out of options.
Of course, DFAing him would require Cashman to admit he was wrong, which we all know won't happen.
As for the trivia question: Kei Igawa?
I was alluding to that earlier when I posted the 10 run mercy rule would be invoked before the 8th inning. All Hope ends with The Heaney. I mean some of Cashman's prior acquisitions could have maybe looked good on paper, but Heaney? You're really going to tell me that you TRADED for that because we didn't have anything as dreadful in the minors that would've cost us nothing.
ReplyDeleteCash has always been an idiot, but now he's just phoning it in. Dick.
You got a prop bet @ Draft Kings Alphonso?
ReplyDeleteHey, Win! Don’t be taking my name in vain.
ReplyDeleteNot Dick Dick, I meant dick Dick!
ReplyDeleteOh, well. That’s different. I apologize!
ReplyDeleteI predict Voit will be traded in the off-season if Rizzo signs. Seeing him at the press conference, he really was a self centered asshole.
ReplyDeleteOne...
ReplyDeleteONLY ONE?!?!?
ReplyDeleteAnd that wasn't a meatball of a pitch.
ReplyDeleteIt was up and outside.
The rest of the inning, Hiney looked good.
Man, fuck this Hiney guy.
ReplyDeleteOn another note, the defensive switches at the end of the second game last night were spot on. Far be it trim me to praise Boone, but Voit doesn't make that first out in foul territory and Wade doesn't make that last out from shortstop. Just giving due where it's warranted.
Brantly, Davis, Nelson, Amburgey, Gil, Ridings all sent to Scranton.
ReplyDeleteI assume Gil will be back for his next start. Ridings maybe comes back soon if someone falters or is injured.
Davis is gone! Hallelujah.
The Master and Wailin' Suzyn are near orgiastic joy over the Velazquez stolen base.
ReplyDeletePivetta might suck even more than Hanky
ReplyDeleteI think so, Dick. And we've been running down Haney so much, I bet he pitches a nice game.
ReplyDeleteTerrible at bat by DJ. He could've walked on four different pitches, but grounds out. Not good.
Rizzo knocks in two. Nice.
What were the odds that the sux bullpen would be up before Hanky shot the bed?
ReplyDeleteIt doesn't matter; no lead is safe from The (What a Trade!) Heaney.
ReplyDeleteGoodbye Pivetta
ReplyDeleteYou knew Heaney-Pivetta wasn't going to be a classic pitchers duel
ReplyDeleteNow we hold our breath as the Homer Hanky comes back out again
ReplyDeleteOh dear, Flopsweat was activated. He is in the bullpen.
ReplyDeleteNothing would please me more than seeing that cheating little shit and his merry band of dildos on the outside looking in when the playoffs start
ReplyDeleteWe could use the good Chapman. Don't know if we'll ever get that, though.
ReplyDeleteHiney-ho is pitching very well. It must be said. Even that home run pitch was not a gopher ball. He's mowed down everyone else.
I'm not proud. I hope he keeps it going.
Does Homer Hanky know where the strike zone is located?
ReplyDeleteThat was a nice touch: Gallo handing the ball to a little kid.
ReplyDeleteKay seems to have caught The Master's inability to judge high flyballs.
ReplyDeleteHomer Hanky is pitching amazingly well. He’s like a really old beater car with a new transmission.
ReplyDeleteDon't say that DA. I can hear it in your comments. You're letting Hope back in. Don't let it. Quash it. Squish squash it.
ReplyDeleteHaney goes 6, and looks good doing it. Trying to compete for a rotation spot as guys come back.
ReplyDeleteThree more innings...and Boone says Chapstick is our closer. Oy.
I just checked BB Ref. (No reason, I just did!! Stop it!!) Odor, his numbers look awful, but he has an OPS+ of 100. Absolute league average.
ReplyDeleteOdoriferous and Ratzo are really growing on me. And not like that nasty rash a couple of years ago.
ReplyDeleteRoughy scrambling to keep the inning alive early and Ratzo CHOKING UP with two strikes. Make him the fucking batting coach.
It's too quiet. I fear the Yankees are sleepwalking again.
ReplyDeleteDoug K.
Heinous now completes seven. Looks great.
ReplyDeleteWho'd a thunk it?
Wow, when did these guys learn to field?
ReplyDeleteAnd who is this guy, and what did he do with Heany? Not that I mind!
It is wonderful watching the Boston feed (as I have to unless I watch on my laptop).
ReplyDeleteThey are even more confused how Mr. Haney can make them look bad.
Eckerslut makes Tim McCarver look like Vin Scully.
Yankee pitchers to throw at least 7 innings of 1-run ball vs. the Red Sox this year:
ReplyDelete1. Domingo German
2. Andrew Heaney
Ottavino. Not red vino. Ottavino.
ReplyDeleteI hope they light this guy up.
ReplyDeleteA made man on arrival and frittered it away. Then signs with the suckholes.
Nice, Zach.
ReplyDeleteWe need 2 more runs. Don't forget El Chapo will appear soon.
ReplyDeleteDoug K
A little outside…
ReplyDeleteHow is Britton going to fuck this up?
ReplyDeleteAnd Win, I reserve the right to be manic/depressive with this team. They made me this way.
ReplyDeleteHow many times have the Yankees barfed up a late inning lead this year? Especially on the cusp of a sweep?
The same way we've come to expect and loathe?
ReplyDeleteExactly
ReplyDeleteDA, no one here will ever take your mania/depression from you, no matter how rapidly you cycle.
ReplyDeleteWhy, why, why, never swing at 2-0?
ReplyDeleteBritton looked like…Old Britton.
ReplyDeleteEven Britton is looking good. Three up, three down.
ReplyDeleteIsn't manic depressiveness required to be a Yankee fan?
ReplyDeleteIt’s not required Rufus, but it helps.
ReplyDeleteLooking at the carmine hose players makes me actually happy for the Yankees misguided facial hair policy.
ReplyDeleteThose are some ugly ass beards from St. Botolph's town.
I know last year and this have been very trying, exhausting and even terrifying. And yet I can still say that I really really REALLY hate the Red Sox.
ReplyDeleteSPELL SOCKS CORRECTLY YOU INBRED GOAT-BLOWING ASSHOLES!!!
Dick,
ReplyDeleteIf you don't have it when you start rooting for the Yankees, you WILL develop it.
Winnie,
ReplyDeleteThe correct spelling is "S" "U" "X".
It's an irregular noun, but generally accepted. Per the OED. The oddball eccentric dictionary.
The Juju gods are setting y’all up for some serious pain.
ReplyDeleteGleyber who?
ReplyDeleteListen to the Great And Wise 13bit. Drive all Hope from you minds and hearts.
ReplyDeleteThe sage Mr. Bit knows that Horraldis is pitching the ninth.
ReplyDelete...juuuuuuuust a bit outside!
ReplyDeleteCan they put him back on the DL before the next batter?
ReplyDeleteI have a feeling he'll make monkeys out of these guys.
ReplyDeleteNow there's a phrase you don't here anymore. Like, it's a 1-2-3 inning for Chapman.
Hear. Grrr.
ReplyDeleteUh oh.
ReplyDeleteOuch.
ReplyDeleteEl Chapo doing his best Ryne Duren imitation.
ReplyDeleteExcept when he grooves one.
Well there's one back.
ReplyDeleteDoug K.
Damn, I miss the old, boring Mariano 9th innings.
ReplyDeleteLoogy looks like he has insomnia.
ReplyDeleteLoogy is up in the pen.
ReplyDeleteTime to go to bed.
At least Boone is taking him out.
ReplyDeleteCan we make ALL games 7 innings?
ReplyDeletehey at least boon took him out. I said earlier we needed two more. We only got one. I hope it holds.
ReplyDeleteDoug K.
Oh good grief, not Lugnut!
ReplyDeleteMichael Kay just said that somewhere, Ringo Starr is humming, "It Don't Come Easy."
ReplyDeleteWhy is he humming? I'm pretty sure he knows the words.
I was so happy for a while
ReplyDeleteVelasquez for permanent SS.
ReplyDeleteRingo is the most underrated Beatle.
Paul is the most overrated.
Un-fucking-believable. If they don't uphold this call they ought to burn down the Stadium.
ReplyDeleteDick, Dick, Dick, Dick, what have I told you about that?
ReplyDeleteThey should burn down the stadium and put another one up that resembles the old stadium. Enjoyed watching this game on the Red Sux network.
ReplyDeleteWhen Velasquez comes to the plate next game, he should get an "M-V-P" chant from fans at Yankee Stadium.
ReplyDeleteHe deserves to hear that once, with the way he's played the last few days.
Gleyber should have to earn his way back.
ReplyDeleteAnd then anxious… and then…
ReplyDeleteWin, hand me my straight jacket
ReplyDeleteBBB,
ReplyDeleteAgree.
The problem with Chapman...
ReplyDeleteRolaids has been lost for the last month or so...
ReplyDeleteHe has one more year on his contract. Britton is on his last year of his deal btw...
This team seemed to really take off when Gleybor got hurt. Could be confirmation bias, I have really come to dislike both his vibe, and his Game.
ReplyDeleteSome interesting news...you can search on internets...
ReplyDeleteLance Lynn was ejected from the game after it appeared he tossed his belt toward the umpire during a foreign substance check
It's not confirmation bias, Kevin.
ReplyDeleteEven when Gleyber started to rake, getting 11 hits in his last 8 games and raising his average from .242 to .253 before going on the DL, he had all of 4 doubles, 0 homers, and 5 ribbies in that streak. He has not homered since July 21st, and he still has all of 6 taters on the season, as opposed to 14 errors.
Last year, he had 3 homers and 9 errors.
He is someone the Yankees should seriously think about dealing next year, or even in the off-season.
I think you missed it.
ReplyDelete
ReplyDeleteWhat do you say (to the media) after your team is swept in the Bronx, and you personally look like dogpoop???
- - - -
"I firmly believe in not giving people too much credit," said losing pitcher Nick Pivetta, when asked about the resurgent Yankees. "You're going out and competing against them at all times. Yes, they have a good lineup. Yes, they have a good team. But we're better and we're going to move forward from this."
- - - -
Sometimes, it might be better to STFU.
Maybe they can give him a laundry cart ride.
