KVB · 04-03-19, 10:28 PM

Checked several stat sites, "INF" is on them all.

His ERA is Infinity....lol

He was really starting to look like a bad ass whenever it was he got hurt, sometime in ‘17 I think. Seeing him now it surprising cardinals didn’t ink him to a big deal, we love paying garbage relievers!!

Big Bear · 04-04-19, 05:41 AM

Wish that \*\*\*\*\*\* had pitched Sunday

I needed the Mets badly

Wow first year following baseball for most of you.... relievers having infinity eras early in season is common not to mention you guys obviously don’t understand the very easy formula to calculate ERA and why it ends up at infinity.

I was thinking the same thing, but I just gave them the benefit of doubt lol

Is his innings pitched 0 or - ?

Has any pitcher ever finished a season at infinity? That would be cool. Is there room on the baseball card?

MC PICKS · 04-04-19, 10:18 AM

And i thought David Robertson was killing me in fantasy baseball, wow.

3 appearances, 31 total pitches, 0 IP, 7 ER. Not bad ..

TommieGunshot · 04-04-19, 06:12 PM

According to all sources I can find his ERA is undefined, not infinity. Formula is ER/IP x 9 for all values, including zero. 7 ÷ 0 is not infinity: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Division_by_zero

It looks like mlb.com does not list his ERA as infinity. Completely nonsensical for ESPN to do it that way. It's possible the INF means something other than infinity.

There are articles all over the place on it stating his ERA is Infinity..Many stat sites list it as well.

KiDBaZkiT · 04-04-19, 09:05 PM

Cardinals knew what they were doing.

stealthyburrito · 04-04-19, 09:29 PM

He needs 14 scoreless innings to have a 4.50 ERA

It's funny that all those articles and stat sites come up with a different answer than all of the brightest minds in history, yet say nothing about how or why they arrived there. It seems the best stat site lists his ERA as inf, but there is an awful lot in the comment section showing why that is wrong: https://www.baseball-reference.com/b...ives/7450.html

MickeyMan · 04-07-19, 03:28 PM

Maybe his best outing of the year today. He couldn’t get an out but also didn’t give up a run.

funnyb25 · 04-07-19, 03:31 PM

2Shirts · 04-07-19, 05:28 PM

winner winner

stealthyburrito · 04-10-19, 10:01 PM

Rosenthals ERA is no longer infinity.

Its 72.00

funnyb25 · 04-10-19, 10:21 PM

He pitched a full inning tonight and only gave up 1 ER. Baby steps....

Mr KLC · 04-10-19, 10:24 PM

There must be a winner!!!!

kidcudi92 · 04-10-19, 10:28 PM

Ballin!

funnyb25 · 04-10-19, 10:35 PM

To be frank....this is quite embarrassing

funnyb25 · 04-25-19, 09:24 AM

Guy is improving. Pitched a full inning yesterday! 3 ER is all to bring his ERA to 36.00

spippen · 04-25-19, 09:49 PM

That my friends lands your ERA at Infinity....

Sad

Hilarious!

Rough patch for Trevor but he's come a long way from Cowley County College.

funnyb25 · 05-10-19, 12:18 AM

The Washington Nationals on Monday afternoon sent embattled reliever Trevor Rosenthal to the team’s facility in West Palm Beach, Fla., for a rehab assignment while he remains on the 10-day injured list.
“We just wanted to get him healthy," Manager Dave Martinez said. “There’s no timetable. We just have to get him built up again.”

funnyb25 · 05-10-19, 12:20 AM

Hopefully he does get a chance to come back and improve on that ERA currently sitting at 36.00.

He has come a long way from Infinity to the mid 60's, now down to 36.00.

Progress, not perfection.

MickeyMan · 06-22-19, 10:48 PM

He’s back!

3 ER while getting zero outs tonight. This guy is must see tv

funnyb25 · 06-22-19, 10:56 PM

Wtf....He must have been back, or his ERA in the minors counted, cuz it is down to 22.74 ERA.

He must have pitched 50 scoreless innings to get down there.

Welp, anyhow, he is back!!

Thank you Mickey!
