Tom Cheney of the Washington Senators threw 228 pitches in a 16 inning complete game victory over the Baltimore Orioles in 1962. In this game Cheney struckout 21 batters which, to this day (2007), is the MLB record for most batters struckout by a pitcher in a game

by giantfan5 on Jul 4, 2008 2:07 PM PDT to parent up reply reply actions actions   0 recs

Seeing as he hasn’t thrown less than 20 pitches in an inning, he’s got about one more in him.

I don’t think I’ll be putting Andruw Jones back in my fantasy lineup any time soon. And this is coming from a guy who’s starting Cody Ross and Scott Hairston.

He looks like he’s really close to breaking out of his slump.

At first I read "Cody Ransom"

but then I realized I was wrong. Of course, Ransom might be a better choice than Jones

didn’t you have Andruw last year too? Poor Grant.

I'm actually a fan of picking Dodgers....

Win/lose, or lose/win. It makes my highs low and my lows high.

Of course, nothing compares to having Cain/Lincecum/Sanchez in an NL-only league. Somehow I’m leading the league in Ks.

I thought you said you were starting Cody Ransom. Now THAT would be impressive.
