In response to "Rhodes era until last week was 0.28. He'd given up 1 run all season." by Will Hunting

No. Even if he hadn't allow a run all year it's not historic. He's pitched 33 innings. That's not historic at all.

Every year pitchers throw 20 someodd innings without allowing a single run. Rhodes was good, not great. What Gregerson did is *way* more impressive that Rhodes run.

Actually, it is. 33 straight appearances without a run allowed tied the record. - Will Hunting Jul 4, 14:59 6
- Again 33 innings. It's absolutely a great accomplishment, and he's been wonderful. But Gregerson by almost every significant measure has been better - musubi Jul 4, 15:13 5
  - Becuase the entire goal of a reliever is not to let the other guys score. - Will Hunting Jul 4, 15:20 4
    - Gregerson right now has the lowest WHIP a reliever (min 40 innings) has EVER put up. Better than Eck in 89 and 90. - musubi Jul 4, 15:27 3
      - Other than letting guys score which again, Rhodes was historic as recently as last Tuesday. - Will Hunting Jul 4, 15:30 1
        
        Rhodes is good. To be fair, yes, he's deserving of an AS nod. But more than Wagner or Gregerson? - musubi Jul 4, 15:32
      - That's including his bad innings, not just a lucky streak. (nm) - musubi Jul 4, 15:29
