Marlins @ Dodgers Series Thread 4/25 - 4/28

[Namaste]

I was being sarcastic

How the fuck did we get out of that without giving up a run, let alone the lead? Also we've known it for awhile, but it seems obvious now that Jose Ureña is a back end bullpen arm right? Nicolino, if you can get outs and not have a start where you give up 7 runs, then I'm aboard your bandwagon.

Four wins in a row! Maybe we might be good after all.

Of course not,they will send him to NOLA when Jackson comes off the DL and he will be back starting. Everyone but the Marlins FO have seen Urena as a setup/1 inning type for 2 years now. They gave him a look in ST finally and he looked great,however instead of in the pen he was back to starting in NOLA. Maybe the game changed the minds of the FO but who knows

Jose on the mound, chance to sweep in LA. WGW?

Marlins bullpen is 3rd in the NL in ERA (2.96)

But middle pack in fip and bottom in xfip. And they've given up what feels like a ton of inherited runs but idunno how they stack there

Hopefully not having Chris Narveson around anymore helps fix that.

Regarding the Urena/reliever discussion, anyone think it's time to do the same with Cosart?

Edit: If we had another starter, I'd ask the same about Koehler too.

[AdamRavs]

We will win the unlikely games. Then with Jose on the mound we will lose. Lol

[Nick]

It'll be nice when Jose Fernandez starts pitching like Jose Fernandez.

[Namaste]

8K's through 6 innings for Jose

Too bad about that 1st inning.

[Nick]

Well at least for 4 games this team has been fun.

[Namaste]

The balk was an unexpected bonus after the awful called 3rd strike on Deitrich.

[Erick]

The Sam Dyson deal seemed like a pretty good value move the day it happened, but it's actually pretty terrible. Telis is irrelevant and Ege does not impress me.

[thatnewguy]

Wasn't a fan of it then, but it certainly doesn't help that Dyson was one of the best relievers down the stretch last season.

[Erick]

The Cishek deal, on the other hand, has been nice. Barraclough has nasty stuff.

[thatnewguy]

Jesus. Doesn't matter if they go down to Kershaw or Maeda or if they have their only reliever ejected or if they make an error with the go-ahead run at the plate, nothing is stopping the Marlins right now. What a week.
