Marlins Stave Off Playoffs Grim Reaper for Another Day, Win 6-4

[Ramp]

Sean West was pretty good today

nice of the Fish not to roll over and die after going down 3-0

[Big Z]

Another good game by West, let's see if This gives us a big push to get Penny early this week

[Marlinsfan4lyfe]

We need a miracle series against the Braves like we had against the Phillies after we got swept by the Nationals

[Sashimi]

It was also good to see West notch a few more Ks today (while keeping the walks down).

[Fish and Chips]

West is nasty when he can control his changeup

[Marlinsfan4lyfe]

he really needs some PFP's

The hit machine that is Chris Coughlan continues to move roll along.

[Swifty]

Coghlan's really making a case for RoY.

I'm a homer, but not a huge homer, and I challenge anyone who actually watches a lot of baseball objectively to say that Happ (whom I'd consider the front runner) is more impressive than Coghlan.

[wanks1212]

If he's even average defensively, Coghlan is going to be an awesome piece at 2B for the next five years.

[THE_REAL_MIBS]

They made an announcement during the game about CC setting a record for hits in a month by a rookie. That was cool.

[Swifty]

Marlins record for hits in a month by a rookie.

[Party]

Wally Moon has the NL record:

The last NL rookie with more than 46 hits in a month was Moon, who had 52 with the Cardinals in July 1954.

Well then you are a massive homer.

Happ is 10-3 with a 2.63era, 1.16whip, .226baa

In 143.2 innings, he has given up 117 hits, walked 51 and struck out 97

Chris Coghlan is very good, but it's really not close. Besides, Andrew McCutchen has been just as good, if not better than Coghlan too. (More doubles, triples, homers, RBI, SB, higher OPS, much better defense(my assumption here))

[wanks1212]

McCutchen's worlds better defensively by just about every metric available. I can't imagine the scouts would feel differently.

[Fish and Chips]

but CC on-the-job training in LF and adjusting to hitting in the leadoff spot in the ML for a rookie is an huge accomplishments that stats dont show. He was thrust in the lineup, and ask to boost a struggling offense, while McCutchen was groom into his starting spot. So if CC and Andrew's numbers are close, i give the nod to CC because of how he adjusted in the short time he was given.

unfortunaly voters outside miami dont know that, and McCutchen will most likely get more votes than CC. He probably finish somewher bewteen hanson and mccutchen for 3rd place, as of now. If he raises his averages up to .300-.310 then he will have a great case for RoY

Say if Happ explodes in his final starts and era jumps, then it is a wide open race, but right now Happ is the frontrunner with a big lead
