That 1.42 whip is nice :hmm:
Which basically means if he comes in with base runners on, we screwed.
Actually, I was wrong on the time-frame. It was from the end of June until now/
He inherited 9 base runners during this time-frame, 2 scored (22.2%).
2013 AL AVG = 30.5%
2012 AL AVG = 29.4%
2013 DET AVG = 31.2%
2013 Coke = 28.6% (3rd best with at least 5 inherited runners)
Only Smyly and Benoit have been better.
If there was a viable loogy available, have at it. Otherwise we have worse relievers than Coke. Rondon pitched 8 innings in August with a 0.00 ERA, yet he has given up 3 of the 5 inherited runners.
