I’m writing this to the time travelers who came from 2014. Hello. First of all: nice to see you, and thanks for taking the time to come to our world. Second of all, don’t look at a newspaper because it’ll probably be really confusing. Thirdly, I’m assuming you’re a Yankees fan. If you are, then Michael Pineda is great!
Actually, Pineda isn’t great. He’s very bad. He may have put up a 1.89 ERA in 76.1 innings in your time, but in ours, we know that was mostly smoke and mirrors. In the 336.1 innings since then, he has posted a measly 91 ERA+ and just 2.
