ShareThisReally Working For It In The Bronx
Andy Pettitte pitched a strong ballgame for the Yankees today in the Bronx: 8 innings, 1 run allowed, and on just 101 pitches.
And, this got me thinking:
How many times, have the Yankees, won a game in the Bronx, under Joe Torre, where their pitchers worked really hard for a win in a 9-inning game where they did not give up a lot of runs? To that end, I turned to the B-R PI Team Pitching Gamelog Finder and asked it show me: "From 1996 to 2007, Playing for NYY, Team Won, At Home, requiring Pitches >= 180, IP=9, and R<=3)" and the result was just two games:
9/2/99: Here, the Yankees threw 187 pitches in the game - led by El Duque who offered up 136 pitches in 6.2 IP. (Time of Game: 3:51)
8/28/05: Here, the Yankees threw 190 pitches in the game - led by Senator Al who offered up 112 pitches in 6 IP. (Time of Game: 3:23)
Orlando Hernandez and Al Leiter? Any Yankees fans shocked by this?
