Moran: 2/3 r bb

Oh so this really is a thing now.

Moran's ghost will follow us all the way to the grave (or just Houston).
--------------------
Nicolino's season ERA is now at 2.84. Other than a bad stint in Jacksonville to end last year, Nicolino's ended every season with a pretty nice looking ERA even if he doesn't strike out people anymore. I think somebody already said he was a good ground ball pitcher but if somebody could post his FB% and GB% that would be great. Considering he doesn't walk anybody (18 walks in 139 IP this year, just wow), if he's a good ground ball pitcher there has to be a point we consider him as simply becoming a great control pitcher and has a legit chance to be a staple at the back end of the rotation at the very least by 2016 at the latest.

I still have hope for Blake Anderson for some reason

I'm just doing it to do it. I mean, I liked the trade.

How about giving Sanabia a look in place of Jacob Turner? I know he's likely nothing more than a AAAA starter at this point, but he's been good since joining New Orleans (15games, 83 innings, 22BB, 81K, 3.58 ERA), and very good his last 2 starts. I wouldn't mind him or Penny starting in place of Turner this week.

46.4% for his career, 44.4% this season.

Henderson Alvarez was 54.2% for his minor-league career.

Bour, man.

[marlinsfan24]

Penny walked four hitters, barley threw 50% of his pitches for strikes, but the six shutout innings is the only thing the Marlins front office is likely to pay attention to

[marlinsfan24]

Jensen's 23 home runs are going to waste in the minors, so we can keep Kike and Solano seated on the bench everyday.

[Miamarlin21]

What I don't understand is why Miami "Insisted" in Hernandez being in the deal if they aren't going to play him. He has two at-bats in four games. The only thing I could guess is that they want him to start versus a left-handed pitcher. They face a lefty on Wednesday, so I would hope he gets the start.

[Todd]

Not really sure why he sitting behind either Valdespin or Hechavarria.
