Mlb Bullpen Stats
interesting baseball stats question…?
listening to the Indians/Rays game on the radio tonight; Indians had a 9-0 lead (yay!) until Carmona and the bullpen combined to give up 6 runs in one inning (naturally…)
the radio announcer started talking about inherited runners; the Cleveland bullpen has “inherited” 75 runners (left on base by the pitcher being replaced) and let 36 of them score (the run counts against the replaced pitchers E.R.A. but to me it still makes the reliever look bad) which is a 48% rate of failure to prevent inherited runs
is this a statistic that MLB keeps track of? I’d love to know how my Tribe stacks up against the rest of the bullpens in the league; are they the worst in baseball as I suspect? is another team somehow worse?
I think Baseball Prospectus keeps that stat. It is important.
