Is there a more meaningless statistic in baseball than the hold? The thought is valid - a way to statistically quantify the value of middle relievers. But something is obviously wrong with the implementation. Today Alan Embree got a Hold - despite the fact that all three batters he faced got on base and scored. Here's his line:
| IP | H | R | ER | BB | K | HR | Season ERA | ||
| A. Embree (H, 3) | 0.0 | 1 | 3 | 2 | 1 | 0 | 0 | 7.79 | |
[Straight Line:] It must be nice to have a job where you can be a complete and utter failure and still get the spoils of success.
