Tuesday Sniping: Immortal Joe Blanton Edition

joeblanton07042016

Still in the league…

In 2008 he homered and was the winning pitcher for the Philalala Fightin’ Phils in Game 4 of the World Series; in 2016, he was the winning pitcher on July 4 for the La-La Land Los Doyers — no at-bats for him yesterday, though.

In 42 ⅔ IP in 2016, Blanton has thrown a WHIP of 0.77; his career WHIP is 1.33. This guy might be on his way to becoming the Bartolo Colon of the 2020s.

P.S. His teammate on those 2008 Fightin’ Phils, Mistah Chase Utley, still in the league, had 3 hits and 2 RBIs for Los Doyers in last night’s contest. On the other hoof, Jimmie Rollins is no longer in the league.

P.P.S. The losing pitcher for Balto. was the supremely and aristocratically named Odrisamer Despaigne.
