Sunday Morning Funnies

Happy Belated Anniversary to Robin Ventura and the 1999 Mets. It's been 10 Years and 6 Days since Ventura's "grand slam single" made the Mets only the 2nd team in baseball history to rally back and force a Game 6 after being down 3 games to 0. For those who don't remember a world where the Red Sox were losers, that used to be a pretty impressive feat.

Go to Hell Barry! A foolish consistency is the hobgoblin of small minds!

According to Fangraphs' E-F (ERA minus FIP) stat, Pelfrey had the 4th unluckiest E-F in all of baseball. HIs ERA for the season stands at 5.08, while his FIP stands at 4.38. The disparity most likely is a result of Pelfrey's low LOB% (66.4%, which is second-lowest in MLB) and his elevated BABIP (.322).

For fun, check out Ricky Nolasco's E-F (1.77). He was by the far the most unlucky starting pitcher in baseball this year. Look for him and Josh Johnson to be a formidable 1-2 next year for the Marlins.
