Marlins at Mariners 4/17-4/19

Oppo for Bour! He needs to keep doing that. Then the fastballs will come back inside.

Marlins up 4-0 for Chen. That seems familiar.

When Stanton isn't in one of his grooves, his ABs can be REALLY tough to watch.

[AdamRavs]

Just can't lay off that damn slider

Why does Rich keep talking about what you're not supposed to talk about?

Just putting my name here on the off chance something great happens.

He's done that for years now, and mentioned it multiple times during Henderson Alvarez's successful attempt four years ago. He doesn't believe in the jinx and I respect him for that.

We a graphic for the thing we shouldn't talk about lol

7 in the books

Chen's at 100 pitches. Mattingly's previous track record leads me to believe he'll pull him.

Yep he's done.

[AdamRavs]

That's OK Ziegler will fuck it up again

Another terrible AB by Stanton. Pulling off now too. Just go to fucking right field!

[Nick]

Fuck

[AdamRavs]

Welp

I've listened to him from time to time on MLB Network Radio with Steve Phillips and have liked him there, but I'm liking Todd Hollandsworth a lot.

Dont care about the no hitter. Great win. We cant really ask for more than our SP have been giving us based on who we actually have in our rotation. Chen looks like a different pitcher this year. He will never be a number 1, but if he can do what he consistently did in Baltimore, Conley keeps doing what he's done in the big leagues, and Volquez can have one of his good years, we can hang in the race. Only problem is we have 0 assets to go out and get a starter at the deadline so this is likely what we have for the entire year.

Let me rephrase that, we have no assets that we SHOULD use to go out and get a starter at the deadline.

One final random note, am i the only one who thinks Koehler is going to become the next Wade Davis type converted starter dominant reliever to a team who uses him correctly like that? It's been pretty clear he will be a dominant reliever for a few years now.

I think he'd be better as a Miller type "fireman" than a Davis. TK has a rubber arm. Has he ever been on the DL?
