Memories of Akeel Morris

[Guest themetfairy]

The only real memory has to be his MLB debut - that rough 2/3 of an inning against Toronto.

But he's young. Hopefully he won't develop into the next great thing for Atlanta.

His name sounds like a body part. My only memory

[Benjamin Grimm]

Only Mac Scarce (infinity) and Garrett Olson (108.00) had a worse career ERA as a Met than Morris (67.50).

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

Only Met in history with a career ERA higher than his uni number (64), I think.

Edit: See above, nope...

[Edgy MD]

Derek Bell.

Akeel is a case study in the perils of calling a guy up from A ball.

[Benjamin Grimm]

Derek Bell, 36.00.

Todd Zeile, 45.00.

The only other Mets with career ERAs higher than 20 are Brett Hinchliffe (36.00) and Tim Hamulack (23.14).

Mac Scarce appeared in only 1 Met game and gave up a hit but it wasn't his earned run (?)

[Benjamin Grimm]

You're right... I was going by memory. He has zero innings pitched, which technically prevents him from having an ERA, but it's not actually infinite, because he didn't give up any runs.

Dude has a National League Championship ring. Everybody who played last year got one, even Eric O'Flaherty (and to be the "even" example over Akeel Morris, you had to be pretty bleeping bad).

[Vic Sage]

every time i hear his name, i think of Howard Morris, from the Sid Ceasar show, numerous Mel Brooks movies, and Ernest T. Bass from the Andy Griffith Show.
So that was nice. i think i'll miss that.

where are you Howard?
