We would have to see some of William VanLandingham's matchups...

According to Wiki, the current record is William Van Landingham vs Jason Isringhausen

What is more amazing is that someone would actually take the trouble to formally track such a thing. I did it as a joke.

Or maybe they did, too. Good stuff.

I only found it because I remember Van Landingham and the talk of his name being the longest in the history of the game. When I looked him up on Wiki, his matchup with Izzy was noted.

Bill Lee vs Doug Rau

or Tom Hall
or Ray Lamb
or Tom Hume
or Don Hood

He hit against those guys, but I can't say if they started against one another

Bill Lee vs Doug Rau

guess, or is it believed to be the shortest?

 

[Band of Brothers]

Aoki is a late scratch

Giants 1-9 in last 10 at home

.218 Average in those games

 

[Band of Brothers]

Giants need a big outing from Bum tonight. Important to go deep and save this bullpen for this 6 game home stand. Bum will pitch twice during this home stand.

 

[Band of Brothers]

picks to click...Buster and Crawford

 

[Band of Brothers]

Kruk and Kuip discussing why the Giants are not hitting at home. The reason is they put too much pressure on themselves to put on a good show for the loyal fan base. They seem to o through this phase every year at some point. Also not having Pence really does hurt the line up.

They must stay loose like they play on the road...problem solved.

Go Giants !!

 

[calsnowskier]

Ouch. Painful anthem.

 

[Band of Brothers]

Blanco...Pagan..Maxwell.in the OF.left to right

 

[Band of Brothers]

Dominant 1st inning for Josey Wales.

 

[Band of Brothers]

A doozy in Chicago...0-0 Bot 8th

 

[Band of Brothers]

Good hustle from Pagan with 2 outs...I have no problem at all with that effort
