Henderson Alvarez Throws 5th No-Hitter in Marlins History

[Ralph]

Turner has been awful in 2nd half.

[AdamRavs]

Turner should work out of the pen next yr. He has 1 or 2 good games then next game walks 5 and forgets where the strikezone is.

[Erick]

Think he could fit in as our #4 or #5 starter?

Fernandez
Heaney
Turner
Alvarez
?

Uh, yeah.

At the end of the 2013 season, I don't see how you'd think anything other than Eovaldi is going to be the #2 next year and Alvarez was better than Turner. Turner kinda sucked. And Heaney probably doesn't start the year with the big team next year.

[emkayseven]

Think he probably meant long term

[Erick]

Eovaldi and Alvarez are only a year older than Turner.

[dim]

Fernandez/Heaney/Alvarez are the three I think stay in the rotation long term. Liked Alvarez potential before the game and like it still. Eovaldi has great stuff and could be a nice 4/5 for most teams but long term he seems like a bullpen guy to me.

Turner's stuff hasn't impressed me at all. I don't feel confident in him staying in the rotation past next season.

Oh, and I started watching this game in the 7th inning. That was the most fun I've had watching a Marlins game since Donnie Murphy walkoff week.

[Erick]

I do not understand why people think Eovaldi is a bullpen arm/no better than #4/#5 long-term. A lot of people seem to think this. To a lesser extent, some people say the same about Alvarez.

You don't need to average a strikeout per inning to be a good starting pitcher.

These guys are young and have good stuff. They're not going to the bullpen any time soon.

[AdamRavs]

I think we flip a pitcher or two to get a bat back. Our offense is so putrid we need some thing. I don't see us actually spending money.

Let's try to score them some runs next year.

Show up, see what happens.

[Mainge]

Don't like any of Turner/Eovaldi/Alvarez longterm. They're all ass.

[Erick]

Don't like any of Turner/Eovaldi/Alvarez longterm. They're all ass.

They are not.

[Bobbob1313]

Eovaldi had a 3.59 FIP and 4.15 xFIP. He can easily be a No. 4 or 5.
Alvarez's numbers are similar. Even if their ERAs were a bit inflated this season, they can easily be league average starting pitchers.
--------------------
Jacob Turner's got a lot further to go than either Eovaldi or Alvarez.

[AdamRavs]

With run support I think they would pitch better as well. When you are pitching not to give up 1 damn run cause your team can't score to save their lives it's diff. Put some bats in the lineup and see what they can do.

[Chewford]

Let's try to score them some runs next year.

Woah now, let's try to focus on things that are possible.

[jOOj]

Woah now, let's try to focus on things that are possible.

IMPOSSIBRUUUUU!
