But less than last year. Wonder if this is just a spell. But yeah, he’s been putting in a ton of work all year.

Bettances better shake that off, and it could be that he is overworked and tired. He has pitched a ton of innings. This is like when Torre used to overwork his middle relief guys. Poor Flash Gordon. Dellin is a young guy, but I hope Girardi can get him a few days off to rest prior to the first wild card game.

Let’s wrap this rascal and get er done!

We used to spend every September saying they were cooked. Don’t worry.”

Except (a) this is not the turn-on-the-light-switch-when-we-want-to Yankees of that era, and (b) my brain is an idiot. Retrosheet:

……….Sept/Oct reg s…last 10 games
1996….16-11……………5-5
1998….16-11……………8-2
1999….17-14……………5-5
2000….13-18…………..2-8
2003….18-9-1 (!)……..7-3
2009….20-11……………7-3

2015….14-14, 4 to go….4-6 last 10 played
……………………………….2-4-?? last 10 of season

(did the best I could with columns, sorry)

So the Subway Series year is really the only instance in which my brain accurately remembers a real shitburger of a September.

And if the next couple of days go surprisingly well, the closest model we can hope for is the 99 Atlanta year.

Is that Tino Martinez I see over there? Is that Bernie Williams? Is that David Cone?
