09/04: Halladay One Hits Yankees; I Don't Start Him on My Fantasy Team
Posted by: Patrick
I'm in two fantasy baseball leagues. In the league that is not the Yankees Bloggers League, I am in second place, playing the final regular season week against the 1st place team. I'm a game back and I am only playing for pride, as my first round bye is assured. But, I'd still like to win and finish the season in first.
I've got a valuable league in ERA and WHIP, so I decided not to start Roy Halladay today. His last few starts haven't exactly been stellar and he was facing a hot Yankees team. Plus, if I can, I try to avoid pitchers starting against the Yankees just because.
Today wasn't the day. Halladay had it working. 9 innings, 111 pitches, 73 strikes, 1 hit, 3 walks, 9 strikeouts and 0 runs. The only player to get a hit? Number 9 hitter Ramiro Pena. Yeah, it was that kind of day.
Joba Chamberlain threw 59 pitches in 3 innings, allowing 2 runs on 6 hits and 2 walks. Mark Melancon picked up two innings of work, along with an earned run. Jonathan Albaladejo pitched a scoreless inning. Michael Dunn made his Major League debut, getting 2 outs and allowing 2 runs. Finally, Edwar Ramirez made his first appearance since May 18, pitching the final 1.1 innings scoreless. He did, however, allow the double that scored the two runs that Dunn was responsible for.
Tomorrow at 1:07 PM ET, Andy Pettitte (12-6, 4.03) will take the hill against Brett Cecil (6-3, 5.42).
Recap records: Seamus: 39–22, Patrick: 37–17, Andrew: 10–10
