The tutorial from hell concluded with a FanDuel prop bet graphic, “Holmes 4-plus strikeouts -125.”

Instead of allowing viewers to enjoy a Mets broadcast, SNY instead opens the floodgates and drowns them with inane statistics -- such as the percentage of sinkers and changeups Clay Holmes threw in his past two starts -- writes The Post's Phil Mushnick.

Today’s reading is from Chapter 11 of “The Book Of Preposterous,” as submitted by congregant and reader Jack Adler: “And so it was written, ‘Lo and take heed that it be both omen and prophecy that when sinkers rise and fastballs break down and away it is a clear sign that The End Times are near.’ ” Saturday, I landed on SNY just in time for its Mets pregame show. Thus, I was able to bear witness as co-host Todd Zeile became the latest to speak in tongues as he, too, had been seized to dwell in the infernos of Beelzebub. To a large graphic that covered the screen, Zeile parroted its contents: Clay Holmes’ start on August 12 vs. the Braves was compared to his August 17 start vs. the Mariners, thus, he threw “68 percent sinkers” then, in his next start, threw “32 percent sinkers.”Icon Sportswire via Getty Images Max Fried pitched a gem in the Yankees' win over the Nationals, but YES Network's Ryan Ruocco drowned viewers with all of his pitching stats in the first inning.What Jets should take out of Justin Fields’ encouraging preseason performance
