Nice. Cover it up, guys...It was silly to keep playing. I doubt they finish this one tonight... lots of rain coming... Yeah, someone could have easily been hurt in that rain, probably a Yankee. How? There are no Yankees left... |

Pretty impressive streak for Kahlne. That’s difficult to believe with the relievers the Yankees had had over the years. |

Pretty impressive streak for Kahlne. That’s difficult to believe with the relievers the Yankees had had over the years. Don't get me wrong, it's a nice streak and I'm overjoyed at Kahnle's bounce back this year. But I'd be surprised if those 11 appearances encompassed even 10 innings, maybe not even nine. Still, it's an impressive accomplishment. It's just that guys like Mo and especially Gossage would have thrown more innings over that many appearances. |

I shouldn't have said "guys like Mo." There are no guys like Mo.

Pretty impressive streak for Kahlne. It is great to see after how he pitched last year. He seems to be back. |

Actually you don’t even need to ask Gossage, he just walks around all the time talking about it hoping someone wanders by and engages him in the conversation. Goose is high on the list of people who have accomplished so much and don’t seem to enjoy any of it. |

But I'd be surprised if those 11 appearances encompassed even 10 innings, maybe not even nine. Still, it's an impressive accomplishment. It's just that guys like Mo and especially Gossage would have thrown more innings over that many appearances. I was thinking about the great Red Sox reliever, Dick Radatz. Did you realize that he only had three really great seasons before the Red Sox ran him into the ground, Pipps? He averaged about 2 innings per appearance for each of those three seasons, from 64-66. In ‘64 he pitched in a little more than games. In ‘65 he pitched in I think 67 games, and then in ‘66 the Sox got greedy and he pitched in 79 games, totaling 157 innings. He remained the Sox closer in ‘67, but his ERA soared to .3.91. He would never again post an ERA below the 4.00 mark and was out of the game just after just eight seasons... When he struck out about 10-11 per 9 back in the day, it was about as good in comparison to his peers as Chapman has been compared to his peers... |

So, the game is over. Yanks win! Take 2/3 from the Twins...

No way they were finishing this game tonight. At least the Yankees save one bullpen inning.

I suppose Chapman gets a cheap and convoluted save...

That school goes back to at least Old Hoss Radbourne. You can bet that plenty of young phenoms playing today will be talking that way 40 years from now. |

He enjoys the fruits of it all. Quite a spread he owns out here in Colorado...

Without looking at The Monster's stats, I have no doubt that for a brief period he was as dominant as Chapman within the context of his era. He was overpowering. I remember when Mike Marshall of the Dodgers pitched in something like 108 games. Maybe it was 110, too lazy to look it up. Amazing that guys like that were able to be effective over multiple seasons. And then there was Hoyt Wilhelm. |
