Nationals Reliever Trevor Rosenthal Continues To Struggle, Has ERA Of Infinity

[underpants]

What they’ve gotten so far has been nothing short of a disaster, however, as Rosenthal’s struggles in his first four outings have reached record-setting futility levels. The fireballer has faced nine batters thus far, and has failed to record an out against a single one — making him the first pitcher to do so in a quarter-century, according to the Elias Sports Bureau.

Pirates reliever John Hope allowed all seven batters to reach in Houston on July 1, 1995, as well as the first two five days later at home against Philadelphia before striking out Ricky Bottalico on a foul bunt. Rosenthal is 0-1 and has been charged with seven runs on four hits, four walks and a hit batsman this year, resulting in an ERA of “inf”, short for infinity.

2. So, the question has to be asked...

What happens when Trevor Rosenthal meets Chris Davis?

The irresistible force meets the immovable object. Not the best use of that phrase, but you get the idea.
