Mo v Goose
?Really Goose? Mariano is a one-inning reliever? Really? You want to go there. Let's go there.
Mariano Rivera has perhaps the greatest accomplishments of all-time in the post-season. He's pitched 141 innings in 96 games. That's obviously more than one inning per game. That's 1.47 innings per game. Goose Gossage has thrown 31.1 in 19 games, or 1.65 innings per game. Nothing to really differentiate.
Gossage has allowed 10 runs during those 31 innings. Mariano Rivera has allowed 13 runs in 141 innings.
If Gossage got to pitch 77 more games in the post-season (to bring him up to Mo's 96) and throw 109.2 innings (to bring him up to Mo's 141 innings), I'm pretty sure he wouldn't allow only 3 runs (to bring him up to Mo's 13).
It makes no sense to say anything negative about Mo. Except for his first year, Mo's career has been perfect. Just perfect.
