My father always told me about the guy who had an ERA of infinity for one season.
Didn't get anybody out, made a ruckus when angrily leaving the mound (if I recall correctly), and never pitched again in the big leagues.
Note to Adam Ottavino: It's not good when you're compared to Bob Kammeyer.
I also think it's funny how the oddsmakers and pundits don't seem to get the message.
I sometimes pay attention to the odds, and this is the first game I can recall the Yankees being labeled as underdogs just about the entire season (correctly, as it turns out). I could have cleaned up picking the Yankee opponents all season.
The Yankees have a .500 record and a .500 "expected" record.
Yet they're still given, like, a 94% chance of making the playoffs.
