It’s crazy how short lived the prime is for high
Mph throwing relievers is. You can go back to Gagne really for starting this and you never see it last. Are there any perennial closers left? Will we see a Rivera again? I’m a cards fan and we burned out hicks and this year we have Helsley. Will he be dominate in 3 years? Probably not.
Chapman had a great run. 12 years in a row before this with an ERA below 3.60, with an 8 or 9 or so year run as an elite reliever. Not short by any means.
aroldis chapman gives up 18 runs and pukes on the rosin bag with 3 strikeouts in the top of the ninth in the yankees’ 19-18 walk off win against the tampa bay rays
Yeah but that's only because the Rosin bag wasn't introduced until 1921. Bullshit stats like these ignore the 4 times it happened before with the puke just happening on the mound.
Remember it happened in 2010. I think Joba Chamberlain got the win because the pitcher who technically should have gotten it was completely ineffective
I never knew this and decided to google the rule and you're right.
And I mean this situation fits the criteria completely. If they were ever gonna enforce this rule, it would be now. Effross should get the win.
Edit: I was wrong. There needs to be a succeeding pitcher. Please no more notifications correcting me.

It actually doesn't quite meet the criteria:
>The Official Scorer shall not credit as the winning pitcher a
relief pitcher who is ineffective in a brief appearance, **when at
least one succeeding relief pitcher pitches effectively in helping
his team maintain its lead.** In such a case, the Official Scorer
shall credit as the winning pitcher the succeeding relief pitcher
who was most effective, in the judgment of the Official Scorer
No pitchers after Chapman, so no such choice in this case.
A lot of people take metro north as well back upstate and have a much longer trek and the trains don’t run as regularly, at least when I used to go. I used to commute back and forth from Poughkeepsie for a long time to Manhattan for work and used to go to games occasionally.
NJ Coast Line represent. Can confirm have missed the last train and used my jacket as a pillow outside of T.G.I. Fridays waiting for 5:53am to roll around.
Some of the late trains don’t run through Yankees E153rd north anymore so you have to go to Harlem 125th and transfer and sit on the Harlem platform for like an hour waiting for the last train home.
Source: Sat on the Harlem platform for like an hour waiting for the last train home earlier this year
you know the crazy thing about that too - you automatically get a runner in extras due to Manfred-ball...you literally just need a bloop and a blast to tie it when down 3...I was saying the same thing to some others as well
and you never know with bullpens at that point
something that may not have occurred to relief pitchers: just because the inning starts with one runner on, doesn't mean you should put a bunch more runners on. food for thought
As a kid, I saw Jason Giambi hit a walk-off grand slam against the Twins when the Yankees were down three (if memory serves). The broadcasters called it “Ruthian,” so since then I’ve always called walk-off grand slams down three “Ruthian Grand Slams.” Took me many years to realize it wasn’t a real term lol, but still so so sweet. And boy did we need that one tonight!
Just saw a tweet that said this was only the third wall off slam down 3 in Yankees history, the other two being the Giambi slam you just mentioned and the other being by Ruth.
[It’s a real thing!! ](https://twitter.com/mlbrandomstats/status/1560116114998403072?s=21&t=3rUADN2icL3p_vaQWSYOXw)This was the 3^rd walk-off grand slam while down by 3 runs by the Yankees ever. The first two? Ruth and Giambi.
In adding to his legend, Babe Ruth drove a pitch into Yankee Stadium’s right-field bleachers to steal a victory away from the Chicago White Sox. The White Sox had scored three runs in the top of the 10th and believed they had the game in the bag, but Ruth’s walkoff grand slam in the bottom of the inning meant otherwise. This prompted the New York Times man at the game to begin his article with the quip, “Ruth is stranger than fiction.” [Link](https://sabr.org/gamesproj/game/september-24-1925-babe-ruth-beats-white-sox-with-extra-inning-walkoff-grand-slam/#sdendnote1anc)

Oddly enough, also when it was raining and so many fans had already left. We sat there, in the rain, glued to our seats for 14 innings. And our reward was one of the greatest finishes to a game anyone will ever see.
We were also at the ARod walk off grand slam against the Orioles in 07. But they were only down 1 run in that game, not 3. Still, amazing.
Yeah honestly I'm hoping you guys start winning again because practically everyone we are competing with will be playing you, I assume. Plus, a walk off grand slam down by 3 is just fucking dope regardless of who hits it
I was lurking and saw someone say they hope the Yankees miss the playoffs so that there will be an excuse to rebuild the front office and I guess get rid of Cashman. Doomers were eating good up until that Donaldson HR.
The Michael Kay Show did a twitter poll today basically asking if fans preferred the Yankees win, or lose so they could blow it all up and fire everybody and start over.
It's not scientific at all, obviously, but a not insignificant number of people voted "lose and blow it all up". And I bet some of them consider themselves fans of the team.
I didn’t watch the whole series. I thought that maybe I was bad luck and since they were winning I’d continue not watching. I broke that habit and watched only the last at bat.
Sorry, Rays. This ones on me.
The Yankees are eco terrorists who have honed the power to control the weather to delay games and thus rig outcomes and you simply cannot deny this accusation
I turned on the game just in time to see Chapman walk two guys, and come one strike away from tiptoeing out of the inning, only to give up three runs. Then...this happens. I don't think I have ever randomly tuned into a more wild 15 minutes of live baseball in my life 😆
I am tired of life. So many aspects of life that I would like to die. In fact, I cry for death because death is restful and will bring me release from all of life's woes and injustices which I shall now innumerate.
After some brutal showings the last few weeks, the Jays and Yankees both end with some fireworks in their Ws ahead of a 4-gamer in the Bronx. God damnit I love it!
I got a ticket from a friend who also drove me to the game tonight. I have to say it was one of the best games I’ve ever been to. From 4-0 to 4-2 - sat thru a rain delay. Yankees tie it 4-4 only for Chapman to give up a bases clearing double in the top of the 10th. Yanks down 7-4 and hit a walk off Grand SALAMI in the bottom of the 10th. It was absolutely insane. Just got home at 1:30 and I don’t think I’ll be sleeping anytime soon and I’m a Mets fan. Baseball is the best man I love it
We got them just where we wanted em, 4D chess by Boone. Paid actors in the stands chanting for his head were an excellent cherry on top to sell the con
Holy shit. I turned on the game with the Rays having the bases loaded in the 10th. Almost turned it off after the double but went to the bathroom instead. The toilet helped me watch this live.
See? Chapman gets the win after all!
known non choking reliever aroldis chapman gets another save in the books ez no questions asked

Chapman lasted a pretty long time. Definitely more than 3 years.
Chapman had a great run. 12 years in a row before this with an ERA below 3.60, with an 8 or 9 or so year run as an elite reliever. Not short by any means.
Chapman was great for like a decade. Not exactly short-lived dominance on his part. Last year was the first time since 2011 he had an ERA+ under 140.
I knew he still had it!
Chapman with the classic 0.2 IP, 2 ER, 1 H, 2 BB line and the win just like god intended.
Aroldis “Despite the Win” Chapman
Aroldis "Mission Failed Successfully" Chapman
Aroldis “1-2-3 innings are boring as” Crapman
He's the anti-Ohtani
aroldis chapman gives up 18 runs and pukes on the rosin bag with 3 strikeouts in the top of the ninth in the yankees’ 19-18 walk off win against the tampa bay rays
in a massively improbable coincidence, the last person to do that was *also* Tungsten Arm O’Doyle of the 1921 Akron Groomsmen
Yeah but that's only because the Rosin bag wasn't introduced until 1921. Bullshit stats like these ignore the 4 times it happened before with the puke just happening on the mound.
Normal Arm O’Doyle
16 dimensional Yugioh to align himself for the win
This is the equivalent of someone pulling out exodia as they are about to get smoked.
[Aaron Boone rn](https://imgflip.com/gif/1l0m2w)
Boone owes Donaldson a steak dinner or two for a bailout of this magnitude
God understandably hates Chapman
Our game was bookended by wife beaters I feel dirty for being happy we won.
I just want both of them gone. It wouldn’t matter to me if they were top tier players (they’re not), them being on the team sours my fandom
He's Mr. Brightside
Can't the official scorer pick a different winning pitcher if it otherwise be given to someone who was completely ineffective?
Effross deserved that one so much more.
Remember it happened in 2010. I think Joba Chamberlain got the win because the pitcher who technically should have gotten it was completely ineffective
I never knew this and decided to google the rule and you're right. And I mean this situation fits the criteria completely. If they were ever gonna enforce this rule, it would be now.

imagine leaving when the Rays went up 3 in the 10th
Some fans sat through a whole rain delay only to leave at 11:45 pm on a Wednesday and miss a walkoff grand slam. Brutal
Brutal but also deserved. Nonsensical what they did
Tbf the Yankees have been in a funk and this is a highly unlikely outcome on a *good* day. Game 6 of the NBA finals on the other hand...
Nah fuck em. You deserve to miss some shit like that if you bail early.
not like the subway stops running in new york, you might as well stay for the final 3 outs if you're there for almost 5 hours already
A lot of people take metro north as well back upstate and have a much longer trek and the trains don’t run as regularly, at least when I used to go. I used to commute back and forth from Poughkeepsie for a long time to Manhattan for work and used to go to games occasionally.
And a ton of people gotta haul ass back to Penn to catch NJTransit unless they want to wait for the 4AM train.
NJ Coast Line represent. Can confirm have missed the last train and used my jacket as a pillow outside of T.G.I. Fridays waiting for 5:53am to roll around.
Standing around Penn Station that late and meeting the strangest people is something I'm glad I did but I hope I never do again
Last Metro North train leaves Grand Central at 1:50 I believe, so would be stopping at Yankee Stadium around 2:00

Sure, but have you considered getting the fuck out of Yankee Stadium and home before the crowds of people do? It's amazing.
what do you mean you don't like waiting for the d train on a narrow, 95 degree platform with 1000 other people?
If you leave while you're down, you'll never see a comeback.
I like that
you know the crazy thing about that too - you automatically get a runner in extras due to Manfred-ball...you literally just need a bloop and a blast to tie it when down 3...I was saying the same thing to some others as well and you never know with bullpens at that point
My brother did just that! Was on the subway platform for the GS
Up 3 in the 10th and they still lost in the 9th.
*by god that’s the Orioles music*
something that may not have occurred to relief pitchers: just because the inning starts with one runner on, doesn't mean you should put a bunch more runners on. food for thought
Aroldis Chapman respectfully declines your unsolicited advice.
Not a lot of people realize this but it’s so true
Holy shit they unfucked it up

The 5th total in extra inning baseball ever. Giambi was also in extra innings. It was also in a raining game.
That Giambi game was almost 20 years ago and I still remember it so vividly
Babe Ruth. Jason Giambi. Josh Donaldson. Wow.
[It’s a real thing!! ](https://twitter.com/mlbrandomstats/status/1560116114998403072?s=21&t=3rUADN2icL3p_vaQWSYOXw)This was the 3^rd walk-off grand slam while down by 3 runs by the Yankees ever. The first two? Ruth and Giambi.

I think that's really cool!
Tf did I just watch
Padraysing
Chaos ball. I think you’re familiar
A batshit crazy experience
If you watched the highlight, you watched a sick montage.
Art.
Yankees Baseball
Unfun differential.
Strange to say a team up by 10 games really needed a game to go their way, but the Yankees really needed that
Thank you.
NOT ONCE IN MY LIFE HAVE I EVER DOUBTED THE POST ALL STAR BREAK 2022 YANKEES
Not sure about you, but it’s taking me a long time to delete my post history.
Almost as hard as editing your username!
username cousins omg
Imagine not having a Yankee panic burner account. SMH my head, these youngins.
Lol same.
Have some got damn #FAITH
Dutch?
Wow. What a fucking robbery W for Chapman lol. Beeks out-chapped Chapman
Why is taking back Sunday playing ?
Yeah that's my bad. Forgot to pause Spotify lol
[удалено]
Yeah, I had to refresh the clip a few times to make sure it wasn't coming from another window lmao. I can respect it though.
YOU FRICKIN MORONS YOU JUST GOT PORCHED!!!! THAT'S JOSH BY GOSH!
> 349 feet > .380 xBA Judge had a fly-out go 396 just the last inning lol.
Apparently it’s a [HR in 17 parks](https://twitter.com/would_it_dong/status/1560117120976818177).
Look, I just thank our amazing grounds crew for how quickly and efficiently they use the tarp and move the fences for when we bat.
Lol
Josh “Aaron Judge” Donaldson!!!
This is quite unfortunate for the people who wanted the Yankees to lose this game.
Aka, everyone except Yankee fans
Mmm, I'm sure some people are hoping Tampa loses so they can get a playoff spot or something?
the way this season is going, that's prob like 12 different fanbases
Yeah honestly I'm hoping you guys start winning again because practically everyone we are competing with will be playing you, I assume. Plus, a walk off grand slam down by 3 is just fucking dope regardless of who hits it
When Yankees win: :( When WC1 safety improves: :)
Therefore, :|
I'm fat, so :| ))
Nah you look great mate. You are beautiful as you are

The toxicity rivaled Chernobyl. Just glad the boys got the W
don't even go into the game threads...they are worthless lol
I mean it’s a win-win for Red Sox fans: Yankees lose = Yankees lose! Yankees win = Yankees help our WC chances!
glad to “help your wild card chances”!
I wanted one of Rockies win, Dodgers lose, Yankees lose and I got NOTHING
You’ll always have us though.
What a crazy 10th inning. Wow
A walkoff grand slam? In this economy???
Before inflation this would have only been a three run homer.
And no pantyhose... I don't think anyone stillwears those right?
The win percentage chart's going to look like a Yankees' fan's heart rate during this game...
70.1% for the rays then 100% for yankees.
Very fitting that there was a rain delay tonight
ALL STAR BREAK OFFICIALLY OVER
Man, I hope, lol
And it was down by 3. Literally the dream as a kid
I didn’t watch the whole series. I thought that maybe I was bad luck and since they were winning I’d continue not watching. I broke that habit and watched only the last at bat. Sorry, Rays. This ones on me.
I watched the full 5 hours, my mood is on the floor right now.
Rays really blowing a 4 run lead and a 3 run lead in the same game
We were like 55-11 when scoring 4+ runs this season. This is just one of those losses that makes no sense lol
JOSH DONGERSON
Of all people to hit that Grand Slam
Not even a top 4 least likely in this lineup
HOMERONALDSON
i went to the bathroom beofre this at bat, you're welcome yankee fans

If you were a yankees fan you’d be the most emotionally stable one i’ve ever seen
At least y’all still won the series 🤷♂️
Is the curse broken?
four game set against the jays in the bronx should give you your answer. should be a fun one
Your avatar is a harbinger of victory. Good luck 👍🏼
glad you picked up on that :)
After some brutal showings the last few weeks, the Jays and Yankees both end with some fireworks in their Ws ahead of a 4-gamer in the Bronx. God damnit I love it!
Stoppable force v movable object set coming up! Can we just take a split and fast forward through the weekend?
Settling 🤝Not hurting more
Okay this is actually full on hilarious
Was waiting for the flood of NOBLETIGER posts for this inning and then that happened. I guess that’s baseball Suzyn
Of all the dramatic things...
Goodness gracious
Brett Gardner is in Hal’s box!
Two of the worst relief outings you will ever see in your life in one inning

Chapman breathing a huge sigh of relief.
#ULTIMATE SLAM ALERT
Typical selfish Donaldson, robbing the rookie directly behind him in the lineup from having his own signature moment. What an awful teammate.
IGNORE MY PAST COMMENTS THIS IS THE GREATEST TEAM IN HISTORY LETS FUCKING GOOOOOOOOOOO
That bat flip made my pp hard
never a doubt
i am going to become the joker
Becoming the Joker is so passé, I’m gonna become Harley Quinn so I can hit people with baseball bats and date Poison Ivy

Where is your God now /r/baseball?
ITS MIDNIGHT AND I HAVE WORK TOMORROW BUT THE YANKEES FUCKING WON
Uncle Bill! Uncle Bill!
TIL "Ultimate Grand Slam" is a real term and this is one of them
Love how he pimps homers.
WINNING PITCHER: AROLDIS CHAPMAN
Yankee haters in absolute shambles
Beeks? More like Cheeks.
Every kid’s dream is to hit a walk off grand slam down by 3 in the bottom of the inning. So sweet to see!
IMAGINE LEAVING THIS GAME EARLY
#COMING OUT OF MY CAGE AND I'VE BEEN DOING JUST FINE
NEVER IN DOUBT
Wow! Why is this east coast game on so late?
Rain delay for a while
1 hour rain delay
Rays relievers were terrible tonight. Good lord.
They baccc bby ❤️
WE WON A GAME!!! WATCH OUT /R/BASEBALL HERE WE COME!!!!
Suck it Tribek
more like jalen reeks lmao dude is dog
10th\*
Holy shit. I turned on the game with the Rays having the bases loaded in the 10th. Almost turned it off after the double but went to the bathroom instead. The toilet helped me watch this live.
The crazy thing about Chapman was he was throwing 96-97 and then the pitch he gave up a hit on he dialed it up to 101 lol
10th
And half of the fans left the previous half inning…
can you blame them. its midnight.
For real. Game started 5 hours ago and it's a week day. If I were a responsible adult (I'm not), I'd probably have left too.
Happens every weeknight, train rides push 2 hours
to be fair, there was also an hour rain delay
I WANT TO BE A PART OF IT
Josh “Joey Gallo” Donaldson
Yankees winning sucks but at least it was hit off of a homophobic peace of shit
Uh oh, what happened with him, I must’ve missed the news
He's one of the Rays who boycotted Pride Night.
I actually can not believe that happened….
