Anibal Dazzles As Marlins Get Franchise Record 20th Win in May

[Ramp]

go on...

[Fritz]

He threw his changeup for strikes and had good velocity on the fastbol.

[Ramp]

[Mainge]

I don't think a still picture has ever startled me before.

[Namaste]

go on...

He gave up a double and then got the last out of the game on a liner hit right at Stanton.

It was far from a dominating performance.

[HUGG]

ehe Negative Namaste

some guys made contact with him

he also made the first 2 batters look stupid

1.00 WHIP

[Mainge]

3.000 OPS against

[HUGG]

First time he's had back-to-back 0bb 2k innings this season.

[Mainge]

Yeah he was pretty good.

[HUGG]

We've won the last 15 times he's pitched.

/totally meaningless stat



We're 19-4 when Heath Bell pitches.
We're 11-10 when Steve Cishek pitches.

New York Times says Bell is waaaaaaaaayyyyy better.


hadn't used that one in a while

[Madman81]

The liner to Stanton was shitty, soft contact.

He looked very good tonight. The one mistake he made was on an 0-2 fastball with two outs that was over the heart of the plate. Probably wanted that higher than where it was to generate a chase.

2012        09-11
.141   AVG   .283
.391   OPS   .764
.138  BABIP  .332
11.4    K%   16.6
5.7    BB%    8.6
13%    LD%    23%
1.70  GB/FB  1.00

His line drive percentage is the one thing that's been consistent his whole career (23% 09, 24% 10, 23% 11) and it's totally fallen off the table.

That BABIP is absolutely ridiculous. You know you're not hitting for shit when your 2 sacrifices make your average higher than your BABIP.

[Madman81]

I expected to see John Buck's LD% be way down this year to at least partially give some reasoning other than shitty luck to his horrible BABIP, but it's actually the highest it's been in many years.

[HUGG]

BR has Buck at 13%, which is the lowest of his career and down from 17% career.
--------------------
And fangraphs has him at 19%, that's odd.

[Madman81]

That is odd. I only checked fangraphs. I expected it to be low this year, just from an unscientific judgment of watching all the games this year. It hasn't seemed like he's hit many line drives.
