CLEVELAND -- The bionic reliever, Andrew Miller, threw 46 pitches Tuesday night for those Cleveland Indians in Game 1 of the World Series. Afterward, he said he couldnt wait to get right back out there in Game 2, because, well, of course he did.But we know what youre thinking: Who the heck does that? Hey, excellent question.Allow us to fill you in on exactly how rare that is. But before we give you all the numbers, we could sum up our findings in two words: Insanely rare! Now here are the amazing details:??Over the past three regular seasons, according to baseball-reference.com, there were 848 times that a manager asked a relief pitcher to throw at least 46 pitches. So that happens. But only three of those 848 came back to pitch again the next day, the Elias Sports Bureau reports. That comes down to less than four-tenths of 1 percent, which is math-ese for almost never. Got that? Great. Now lets break it down further.? In 2016, as the multi-inning reliever became more of a thing around the sport, a reliever threw 46-plus pitches in a game a whopping 325 times. Only one of them came back to pitch the next day. That was Oakland swing man Andrew Triggs, who threw 53 pitches out of the pen on June 30, then fired up 15 more the next day. For the record, he threw a scoreless inning that day, with a walk and a strikeout.? In 2015, 266 relievers threw 46 pitches or more at some point. Again, just one of them showed up in the box score the next day. That was Pirates middle reliever Radhames Liz, who had a 48-pitch outing on May 14 and followed with 19 messy pitches the next day. He crammed two hits and two walks into one-third of an inning on the back end.? Finally, in 2014, there were 257 instances of a pitcher piling up that many pitches in relief. The only one in the group who cranked it back up the next day was Braves reliever Pedro Beato, who got called up from the minors, threw 47 pitches one day (June 17), fired 13 more the next day and then headed back to the minor leagues. Even a shutout inning in that second outing didnt save him from that fate.So you get the idea. If Miller were to come back and pitch again after burning that many pitches the night before, he would be doing something that, a) pitchers of his stature basically never do anymore, and b) pitchers of even lesser stature do only in an emergency, because the rules say somebody has to pitch every inning of every game. But maybe youre thinking that the postseason is a different animal. Well, you would be correct if youre thinking that. But you would be incorrect if youre thinking that this has been a more regular occurrence in the postseason in recent years.According to Elias, no reliever has made a 46-pitch outing in any postseason game and then pitched again the next day since Keith Foulke did it for the 2004 Red Sox in Games 4 and 5 of the unforgettable ALCS against the Yankees. He threw 50 in Game 4, another 22 in Game 5 and then, incredibly, had 28 more in him the next day in Game 6. Coincidence alert: His manager was ... Terry Francona.But between Foulkes outings and Millers outing in Game 1, there were 55 instances in which a pitcher threw 46 pitches or more in relief in a postseason game. Not one of them was back in action the next day. We repeat: Not. One.It happened more frequently once upon a time, though. In fact, Foulke also had a 51/20 back-to-backer for Oakland in the 2003 ALDS. And in 2002, Francisco Rodriguez went 46/16 in Games 6 and 7 of the World Series for the Angels.Thats getting to be a long, long time ago now. But then again, we keep theorizing that Andrew Miller is redefining how the modern reliever is used -- in all sorts of ways. And who knows. He just might be ready to do that again.KhaDarel Hodge Jersey .

He spoke in the 95-degree heat for just 3 minutes, as brief as many of his efficient relief appearances.I always will thank the good Lord to make me a Yankee, he said, referencing Joe DiMaggios memorable phrase.And then he turned and pointed to his former teammates and managers, seated on folding chairs in the infield.Hey, guys, I said 5 minutes -- all right! he said, pausing for a big smile before shifting his focus back to the fans. Thank you guys. I love you guys.Controlling owner Hal Steinbrenner presented Rivera with a replica of the plaque during a 25-minute ceremony before Sundays 12-3 loss to Tampa Bay. Co-owner Jennifer Steinbrenner Swindal gave the retired reliever a ring in 14-carat white gold with 42 -- his retired uniform number -- formed by diamonds.Derek Jeter, Andy Pettitte, Jorge Posada and Bernie Williams were among the former teammates on the field for the tribute along with current manager Joe Girardi and former manager Joe Torre.It wasnt about me.
