Darrell Rasner loaded the bases with one out in the top of the first inning yesterday before getting out of trouble without giving up a run. Whatever momentum he may have started with that escape was shortlived, because he gave up three runs in...

CALCULATED would not describe any attempt to scream a turnaround into your team just before having to pitch Darrell Rasner against Josh Beckett. No, Joe Girardi's anger was real. So is the Yankees' nine-game deficit in the AL East, which is their...

Posted by mobile phone: Sometimes, I hate being right. Five days ago, after Darrell Rasner and the Yanks lost a tough game to the Mets, I threw up a red flag concerning Rasner’s performance. Sure, he had limited the Mets to two earned runs in five innings, but he allowed far too many baserunners to expect [...]

When Darrell Rasner drew two walks against the Mets on June 29, he became the first pitcher to walk in the first two plate appearances of his career since Mickey Scott of the Orioles in 1972. Meanwhile Robinson Cano has walked once in his last 69 plate appearances. (I’m not going to do a Stat of the [...]

That's not going to help. With the Yankees in a tailspin, and Joe Girardi holding a team meeting last night, the Yankees are now down by three runs in today's game. Mike Lowell took Darrell Rasner deep for a three-run homer to left field, scoring Dustin Pedroia and Manny Ramirez. It's now 6-3.

Darrell Rasner straightened out his command Sunday, but the Yankees failed to deliver the shaky starter his second win in seven starts. Rasner pitched out of trouble to hold the Mets to two runs on eight hits and three walks...

Jason / It is about the money, stupid : An Interview with Darrell Rasner — Following my interview with agent Matt Sosnick, I asked Matt if it would be OK to interview one of his players. Being in New York and sucker for the low-down from one of the less-heralded players, I checked if the Yanks Darrell Rasner would be amenable.

Jason at IIATMS is turning into a regular Barbara Walters. Last week it was Matt Sosnick, this week he interviews Darrell Rasner : IIATMS : Which teammate has surprised you the most (ie: being friendlier, funnier, more serious, etc.)? DR : A-Rod. He is incredibly kind and friendly, and takes an active interest in his teammates. He’s been awesome to me. IIATMS : Which of your current teammates would...

For a couple guys who weren't supposed to be on the roster this season, it wasn't such a bad combined performance. Darrell Rasner gave the Yankees a chance, and David Robertson managed to survive his major league debut without crumbling...

Funny that in the same game for which I provided a poll asking if you would rather have Oliver Perez or Darrell Rasner pitching for the Mets, Ollie turns in his best performance of the season and the second-best start of any Met this year by game score. Perhaps not surprisingly, it was the only start this season in which Perez didn't walk a batter and just the fifth time as a Met that he has pitched...
