Joe Frisaro doesnt know his head from his ass.

Joe Frisaro doesnt know his head from his ass.

not wrong there but i doubt he's just saying that right now with nothing behind it considering whats happened the last week. plus sixto isnt up here so clearly they are waiting on either service time which shouldnt be an issue anymore or what exactly?

[fish16]

pablo has looked great so far but his trouble has been avoiding big innings around this point in the game so lets see what happens these next few innings

atta boy francisco. his ab's have looked really good and he's made a lot of solid contact.

[gustavopim]

Cervilli has been swinging the bat soooo well. Everything is hard hit. He's a great framer too

Honestly, i don't want to say I call it.... but

[fish16]

better ab's and it looks like he has a better feel for the strike zone but again the swings are just not powerful swings. its so defensive.

He looks really skinny to me.

[Erick]

He looks really skinny to me.

I was going to say the same thing. Why does he look so skinny?

[fish16]

I was going to say the same thing. Why does he look so skinny?

im assuming he thought he got too bulky because he was pretty big the last two years

forgot hyde was the orioles manager now. former marlins manager great

- - - - - - - - - -

is there a list of guys we actually have available out of the pen right now? Cause aside from kintzler i dont think i can name more than a few others

[Nick]

Harrison has no chance up there.

[fish16]

cervelli keeps throwing the ball around the horn by habit after a k and immediately remembers he cant do that anymore and asks for a new ball for the pitcher. hes done it at least 3 times now tonight

[Nick]

Bleier I think is an actual good pickup.

Aguilar has been a great pickup so far.

[Namaste]

I think that's more of a reason to use Sixto. You can just send him back down when Caleb, Sandy and company are back.

I agree 100%. Start a 60 game season 3-1 and then trot out a bunch of turds when you have quality down on the farm? That would be a classic Marlins move.

They changed the roster starting Thursday

Right now its 30 and 3 taxi on Thursday it goes to 28 and 5 taxi for rest of them year

Taxi guys can ONLY play in Road games and have to be on the 40 man roster to play

They are looking for SP and are trying to get something done with Chacin/Jurado/Erlin but the other teams have 7 days if more than 1 team but in a claim. Claim or trade for 1 of them and DFA a LH Smith or Moran


Likely we see ELieser and Castano(since only 7 innings) and Yamamoto tommorrow then hope they get another SP arm or use Mejia. The thing with Sixto is 2-he is not in SP shape and they dont want to run him out there for just 3 games

They have enough SP
Pablo/ELieser/Yamamoto/Mejia

SP who could go 4 innings easy in a 7 inning DH
Castano/Josh A Smith/Sharp/Guzman

[fauowls44]

I figured Castano would get a start. Sharp has not pitched yet, so maybe he and Guzman each get 3 innings in a game soon. Hopefully Sandy, Smith, and Urena are back in a week and this isn’t a long term problem.

Game notes:

Pablo looked good, esp. the new, improved change. Lost velocity quickly. Very slow to the plate from the stretch - opposing runners will have a field day stealing on him if he can't get moving.
Cervelli/Andujar. I didn't like either of these signings, but both look very confident at the plate. Great contact/discipline.
Key to victory for Marlins? ONE walk allowed. When is the last time Marlin pitchers walked a single batter over nine innings?
No way teams should get away with a defensive shift on Anderson. He's too good a hitter not to go to right field.
Monte. Wow. That was beyond brutal. Too many problems to list, but he could start by standing a foot closer to the plate. I looked for the record for consecutive strikeouts to start a Major League career, but couldn't find it. Hopefully, Monte won't set it. Berti is destined to play CF I guess.
Look for Yamamoto to shine vs. Orioles hitters ... my hunch.
