In 1995, when Mariano Rivera was a rookie,
he came to the big club from the minors
as a starter. The results were mixed, to be kind. In 10 starts, batters hit .306 of Rivera and 8HRs to the tune of a 5.94 ERA. The following year, new manager Joe Torre put Rivera in the pen. Rivera responded by ...

Phil Hughes hasn't just been a revelation as
a late-inning reliever, he's done the impossible: he's essentially
put an end to the Great Joba Debate. The issue was always finding another lockdown reliever to get Mariano Rivera the ball. ...

I've never been a New York Yankee Fan,
but even I have to give credit where credit
is due. The most dominant closer in post season history reached a historic milestone last night, as Mariano Rivera recorded his 500th career save. Rivera has spent his entire career in Yankee pinstripes, becoming ...

When relievers are mentioned who do you think
of? Mariano Rivera? Jonathan Papelbon? Brad Lidge? How about
Joe Nathan? Yeah, he’s usually not very high on mos people’s lists, and when he actually comes to mind there isn’t much prestige pointed in his direction. This is a shame!

seems like since time began. When Mariano Rivera has more RBI than you do in the last nine games, something is amiss. Cano is hitting .300 after getting a couple of ...

I can’t imagine the New York Yankees without
Mariano Rivera for the last 15 seasons. Since he
came up as a 25-year-old and wowed the crowd during the 1995 ALCS, he has always been there. In 1996, he helped shorten the games, and in 1997, he ...

Yankees closer Mariano Rivera has been deservedly credited
with being the greatest relief pitcher of his generation.
On Tuesday night, I believe he also became the first pitcher to ever throw out the ceremonial first pitch and throw the final pitch of a game. The honor of course stemmed from ...

No, it's not 500 saves like Mariano Rivera
got this week, but Jonathan Papelbon got his own
record breaking save this week. Jonathan Papelbon recorded his 20th save of the season which was also his career 133rd save with the Boston Red Sox. That makes him the all time leader for saves by a ...

Joe Girardi continues to call Brian Bruney the

blown save in the eighth, Bruney might be degraded to middle relief. After watching Phil Hughes continue to dominate the sixth and seventh innings, it seems he could potentially replace Bruney for the ...

the game. They are both right-handed relief pitchers who throw a cutters almost exclusively, over 90% of the time. No other pitcher throws the cutter that ...
