Check out these stat lines:
W L WL% ERA G GS GF IP H R ER HR BB SO ERA+ +---+---------------------------+---------+--+---+---+-----+-----+----+ 13 26 .333 5.56 90 61 15 362.3 443 244 224 44 121 220 78 12 27 .308 5.74 92 70 6 373.0 465 274 238 46 118 153 76
Can you guess who is the red one and who is the blue one? Well, here’s the answer:
The red line is Sergio Mitre’s career stats to date. And, the blue line is the career big league pitching numbers for his pitching coach, Dave Eiland.
The Yankees should take the mirror out of Mitre’s locker and just install a picture (no pun intended) of Eiland.
I don’t see the pun?
It’s weird to me to see two pitchers with seemingly different styles arrive at a similar destination.
