The Rasner Watch
Posted by Steve Lombardi on May 10th, 2008 · Comments (3)
In his career, Darrell Rasner has made 10 starts for the Yankees.
He’s gone at least 5 innings in 6 of those 10 starts. In those games where he’s gone at least five, his W-L record is 4 wins, 1 loss and 1 no-decision (in a game where he allowed no earned runs).
I like the chances of Rasner going at least five today and giving the Yankees a win. It’s not a lock – but, if it happens, it should not be shock either.
Steve, any guesses where Rasner came from and which GM plucked him off the scrap heap for less than the four year deal you were advocating for Kyle Lohse? I’ll give you a hint, he’s short, balding, looks a bit like Jeff Van Gundy, and you hate his effin’ guts.
Yep, Brian Cashman.
Don’t ever say the guy didn’t do anything for you.
He’s the anti-Igawa.
Does anyone know what kind of arm injury he had that caused him to lose his velo?

And, yes, Franklin the turtle deserves all the credit for this one.
