Dude's a Yankee killer.
I like him as an innings eater sp but I don't think he'll ever be a great pitcher. I recall looking at his stats thru one, two, three times they the lineup and seeing him do very well the first two times. I feel like he could be a stud long reliever.
There really haven’t been too many close pennant races involving the Yankees and the Orioles. These are the closest finishes:
2012: Yankees 95, Orioles 93 (O’s eliminated in game 162; last held the lead in game 159)
1997: Orioles 98, Yankees 96 (Yankees eliminated in game 161; O’s led wire to wire)
1974: Orioles 91, Yankees 89 (Yankees eliminated in game 161; last held the lead in game 154)
1964: Yankees 99, Orioles 97 (O’s eliminated in game 160; last held the lead in game 151)
1980: Yankees 103, Orioles 100 (O’s eliminated in game 160; last held the lead in game 9)
1977: Yankees 100, Orioles 97 (O’s eliminated in game 159; last held the lead in game 105)
1996: Yankees 92, Orioles 88 (O’s eliminated in game 159; last held the lead in game 49).
This year’s race is the next-closest, and there’s really nothing else that was even remotely close.
