When I walk along the beach, strumming my guitar, the beat that I hear is not one of crashing waves. No, it is the beat of the ball bouncing off the hardwood with highs provided by the squeaks of the sneakers. Ball is life.
In 44.2 innings this season, Eduardo Rodriguez has struck out 52 batters. That’s good. He’s also had some bad luck, as the BABIP is .376, strand rate is only 54% and the FIP of 4.31 is well below the 7.05 ERA. That said, earned runs are earned runs at the end of the day, and […]
