Room 222
File this under: Silly but fun things that you can do with Baseball-Reference.com’s Play Index (Pitching Event Finder), Excel, and a few minutes time. (In addition to: Shameless cross promotion not so cleverly hidden in a PI example…)
In the Yankees game last night, Mike Mussina and La Troy Hawkins both allowed hits on an 0-2 count.
This had me wondering: How many 0-2 hits have Yankees pitchers allowed since I started writing WasWatching.com (on April 20, 2005)?
Here’s the answer: 222 hits allowed on 0-2 counts.
Randy Johnson allowed 35 such hits and Mike Mussina, including last night, has allowed 30 (in this time).

awesome stuff! here’s what i discovered from looking at the spreadsheet. Manny Ramirez hit three 0-2 home runs of the Yankees (off Randy Johnson, Chien-Ming Wang, and Scott Proctor!!
Frank Catalanotto had six 0-2 hits against the Yankees in ONE SEASON! (or is that a mistake in the data?) He had two on 4/19/2006 and two on 7/20/2006? If so, that’s amazing!
