JJ with Another Subpar Outing; Marlins Lose to Phillies 7-1

[Ramp]

While the team played like shit, JJ clearly didn't have it tonight for the second straight outing.

[Bobbob1313]

Yes. But JJ also pitched poorly. He needs to start missing bats and make the defense not matter.

And JJ is on the team hence a team loss

That mentality worked with Hermida.

And Alex Gordon

You spent the entire post blaming people who weren't JJ, so I don't think those responses were unfair.

If JJ is this bad every five days, we're doomed. Chances are, the rest of the team won't play this poorly very often.

That's why the focus is on JJ.

[Namaste]

Yes, I'm aware JJ pitched poorly. But only JJ's performance had been discussed in the first 14 posts.

Is it ok that I mentioned the comedy of errors that was the bottom of the 3rd?

The game was decided in the 3rd inning. bobbob, your contrarian approach has enormous stamina.

[Bobbob1313]

It is fine. It is also far less important, and thus less worthy of discussion.

[Ramp]

JJ's performance should overshadow everything. It was terrible and gives us reason to believe he's not 100% yet (or perhaps he's even hurt).

Some fluky stuff happened in the third inning, things happen. But this was a JJ game.

[Namaste]

and thus less worthy of discussion.

[Bobbob1313]

As Mainge said, if JJ keeps pitching this poorly, we're screwed no matter what anyone else does. Do you think the defense will make that many mistakes in a row on a consistent basis?

If so, then yes, it is worthy of discussion. But in all likelihood, it's an anomaly. JJ's struggles may not be, and they are a much bigger deal either way.

I don't even know what your response is supposed to be saying. Do you think a single shitting defensive inning is more worthy of discussion than our $40,000,000 pitcher looking out of whack?

[Namaste]

Discuss only Josh Johnson's performance in this thread.

my bad

I should have read the original post first

I'm more concerned with Lomo's bat that misses just about everything, as well at Stanton's glove that was constructed with concrete. JJ will probably end up being fine.

Lomo has struck out zero times this season
