So I subscribed to the MLB.com audio service, which allows you to listen to any MLB game you want. It's only something like 15 bucks for the entire season, and it's my proxy for cable TV right now. So on a Sunday night, there's one game left on the slate, and it's Braves vs. Phillies. Pitchers duel to the utmost.
Then this guy comes in and single-handedly craps the bed. Who, you ask? Danny Kolb. This sort of incompetence would get most people fired, but he'll be back to pitch another day, I suppose.
Let's do the math, shall we? Mr. Kolb makes $3,400,000 per year. As a closer, that equates to something like $22,000 per inning, or (a very conservatively calculated) $755 per pitch. Yes, per pitch!
As a point of reference, the average teacher's starting salary right now? Around $29,000. Where do I apply for the Braves closer job???
