Well, Stanek was awarded the win tonight. You can add that to your list of grievances when you meet with Rob Manfred.
It’s long. We won’t get to that one.

BTW…tomorrow is Record Store Day. Don’t forget.
That is not correct. HH has stated the correct rule several times.

Here’s a description of the rule from the mlb website. HH has stated part of the rule
Definition
A pitcher receives a win when he is the pitcher of record when his team takes the lead for good – with a couple rare exceptions. First, a starting pitcher must pitch at least five innings (in a traditional game of nine innings or longer) to qualify for the win. If he does not, the official scorer awards the win to the most effective relief pitcher.
There is also a rarely used clause where an official scorer can deem a relief pitcher’s appearance “brief and ineffective.” (For example, if a reliever relinquished a one-run lead by allowing three runs, but was still in line for a win after his team scored four runs in the following inning – that may qualify.) If that’s the case, the scorer can award the win to a pitcher who followed that “brief and ineffective” pitcher.
More importantly…did you go to Record Store Day this morning? I picked up The Who’s Face Dances 40th Anniversary edition, the newly discovered Thelonious Monk from Palo Alto in ‘68 (the custodian’s mix) and Tangerine Dream’s Live at the Reims Cathedral from 1974.

Nice!
That Palo Alto album is great.
I’ve heard it’s phenomenal. The whole story behind it is fascinating too. It’s getting a spin tonight.
