Since Jacob came up with last week's answer in something slightly less than eight seconds, I decided to come up with one a little more difficult (at least in theory).
What do these pitchers have in common?
- Dave Burba
- John Burkett
- Frank Castillo
- David Cone
- Tom Gorzelanny
- Livan Hernandez
- Hideki Irabu
- Randy Johnson
- Esteban Loaiza
- Derek Lowe
- Blake Stein
- Jeff Weaver
- Woody Williams
Note: none of these pitchers have been in my kitchen. I will provide the answer Tuesday evening if no one guesses correctly.
ANSWER: These are the 13 pitchers who have given up multiple extra-base hits in one game to new Dodger catcher Brad Ausmus. If you click on each pitcher's name, it will take you to the box score for that game. Ausmus has had 32 games with multiple XBH, but only 13 in which more than one were off the same pitcher.
