If your WHIP were my ERA, I would lose my job!

The Willets Point "Mechanics"' endgame troika of Dennis Eckersley, Brian Fuentes, and Don McMahon did not allow an earned run in the month of April, sporting an 0.89 WHIP, and 33 strikeouts in 30.3 innings.


On the other side of the bullpen bench sit Gene Garber and Dennys Reyes, who combined for 15.6 innings, an 8.04 ERA, a 1.91 WHIP. Include recently shuttled Alex Fernandez and the "Mechanics"' bullpen questionables sport a combined 8.27 ERA and 2.01 WHIP in 20 2/3 innings.


Garber, whose 0.91 WHIP at 1978 Fulton County Stadium earned him a key bullpen role, has been demoted to mopup duty. When reached for comment, he turned his back on the reporter.

  1. That is quite amazing - 30 innings of no earned runs.
