Zeile-lot

by Mike Carminati

Todd Zeile pitched for the second time in his career yesterday, mopping up for the Mets in their 19-10 loss to the Expos. He gave up five earned runs on four hits and two walks in one inning to up his career ERA from 0.00 to 22.50. Given that Zeile is 38 and his two appearances were flukes to begin with, we may have seen the last of Todd Zeile the pitcher.

However, Zeile's is not the worst performance ever for a cup-of-coffee pitcher. There eighteen worse (min. 2 appearances and 2 innings pitched), and some of them were actual pitchers. Here they are:

Jason Pearson4002.723.63
Al Mahon3004.322.85
Carl Stimson2004.022.50
John Papa3002.022.50

It's good to see that Craig Reynolds and Keith Osik could lend their hand to sucking at multiple positions, one of which was pitcher. By the way, the worst on the list David Moraga was a pitcher by trade for the Expos and Rockies. His Expos ERA was 37.80, and his Rockie ERA was 45.00. The odd thing about Zeile is that his Rockie ERA was 0.00 and he recorded his only strikeout as a Rockie.
