Neat stuff Tuesday during YES’ Mariners-Yankees. A graphic asked the name of the M’s losing pitcher on this date, in 1996, when Dwight Gooden pitched his no-hitter.

David Cone jumped: “I was lying in a hospital bad. That’s why Doc was starting. That was my spot in the rotation when I was diagnosed with an aneurysm.

“I actually listened to that game on the radio because we couldn’t get it on TV up at Columbia Presbyterian Hospital. That was my start — and Dwight Gooden pitched a no-hitter!”

Al Leiter, also in the booth, was flabbergasted to hear that. Who knew? Who remembered that part of it?

“And three days before that,” Cone said, “Al Leiter [with the Marlins] had a no-hitter.”

Oh, the answer: Twice-Yankee Sterling Hitchcock.

Earlier today, the Yankees got the news that Andy Pettitte was placed on the 15-day DL because of his trapezius strain (IT’S A TRAP!) and after dropping two of three to the Seattle Mariners, they needed Hiroki Kuroda to continue what he’s been doing pretty much all season and that is to come out and shut down the Blue Jays lineup.

And that’s just what he did…

Oh, hell, no! There’s no chance. No chance.

Matt Harvey did it all on Friday afternoon at Wrigley Field, limiting the Cubs to two runs on the mound and driving in the eventual winning run in a 3-2 Mets win.

Writes filmmaker Tom Bean, “George’s first piece of ‘participatory journalism’ was to pitch in a baseball all-star game at Yankee Stadium in 1958. He wrote about his experience for Sports Illustrated and then expanded the piece into a book called Out of My League, which he got his friend and mentor Ernest Hemingway to blurb (Hemingway called the book ‘Beautifully observed and incredibly conceived’). This is the event that launched George’s career as a writer. One of our goals for the movie was to have George narrate as much of his own story as we could (cobbled together from interviews, TV appearances, and speeches), and I think this scene serves as a good illustration of that approach.”

“Yikes.” - Gary Cohen

Under the guidelines of the NBA’s concussion protocol, it seems highly unlikely Pacers point guard George Hill returns in time for Game 6 on Saturday. He may not be back for Game 7 on Monday, either, if it is necessary.
