Marlins Hold On To Win Opener In Cinny 7-6

[Erick]

His fastball averaged 93.9 for the outing. His season average for fastballs? Yup, 93.9.

He has outings when he can get it up to 96-97, though; I don't think he touched 95 once tonight, although I could be wrong.

Big win considering the fish struggle in cinci. Now all we got to do is split with JJ and Nolasco going. I like our chances to win the series.

When you give up 10 flyballs in 6 innings, a few cheapies will sneak out. They still count.

Striking out a batter every other inning, walking as many as you strike out, and allowing a shitload of flyballs will make going 6 innings with 3-4 runs almost impossible.

Can't just play the result on that and think it says anything positive moving forward.

Vazquez pitches in the NL East. I am fairly confident most of those will stay in the park.

Yes, thank you for Baseball Basics 101. I will now look up the formula for WHIP and batting average.

Vazquez survived another start. I did not say anything else.

The NL East isn't a bad hitting division.

That doesn't mean there's any reason to believe he can continue doing so. Thinking he can pitch like this and "survive" is a really bad idea.

I think he's talking about ball parks.

Fo seriously.

If you're going to have a right-handed junk baller on his last legs, aside from the NL Central, the NL East is home sweet home.

[Bobbob1313]

Then I have no idea what your point could possibly be.

Vazquez is alive.

[Bobbob1313]

He's worse than Volstad.

The big story here is Jeremy Hermida. He's only 27!!!

I assume you are saying this because that was what other people said when he was, like, 24?

[FishFF]

Well done, Bob

[Bobbob1313]

That is silly.

Doesn't it even out?

CBP is a hitters' park. Citi Field is a pitchers' park. Not sure how Turner Field and Washington's ballpark fare, but either way, it's not as if he'll be pitching in extreme pitchers' parks all the time, or even the majority of the time.

I would say the NL West is probably a better division to pitch in, in comparison to the NL East. And the AL West, as well.
