Game anti-hero- Bobby Meachem

He's been killing us. How many times ahs he sent guys that are thrown out by 10 feet

Very lucky Alex wasn't hurt

What ... "Windmill Willie"? Might as well go after "Send 'em Home Sojo"!

[CT-Yankee]

I got to go Cano as TH. It could be Moose but haven't been enough occasions this year with a timely hit so I'll go offense. That got them rolling.
HM - Moose!
HM- Arod

and I agree, Meecham is brutal! bru- TAL

I disagree. After Bowa, I'd put Willie right up there. I remember during the championship years there was a sick stat given during one of the WS games that Willie had had only a really low (maybe it was even zero) number runners thrown out at the plate. Now of course that could happen if he never sent ANYONE, but that wasn't the case. I thought he was a very shrewd base coach. Certainly better than Bobby.

TH: Moose, of course. I have to look it up to be sure, but I think he's riding a streak of about 8 QS's in a row, if not more.

HM: Arod, Cano, and "Big Sexy" for doing what none of our regulars ever seem to do anymore.

Jose Cardenal and Willie Randolph: Best base coaches in Yankee history.

[NYIndian2005]

A hit with RISP is such a wonder with the yanks this year he is trying to cash in while he can.

It was only his fourth in a row. On June 20th, he went eight innings but allowed four earned runs. Of course, the definition of a quality start is six or more innings pitched with three or fewer earned runs, for a maximum ERA of 4.50; and four earned runs over eight innings is an ERA of 4.50 as well; perhaps the definition of a quality start needs to be tweaked?

At any rate, he has eight quality starts in his last nine starts.
