My god I just turned on the game. Why is Chen dripping sweat that much in the top of the 1st. He looked like he had been given a gatorade bath. -
I thought Gordon was out.Comment

I thought he was out too. Also Stanton wayyyyyyy behind those fastballsComment

Chen's wheels starting fly offComment

How does that slide not interfere with Dee's throw? The guy literally picked him up and turned him backward. I don't have a problem with the initial slide, it's the pop up part that to me is clearly interference.

Apparently they ruled the contact occurred after the "bona fide slide," so therefore it didn't interfere with Dee's throw. So what? After the slide you can do whatever you want to get in the way?Comment

Tazawa continues to be pure garbageComment

4 hits. Four.Comment

We really need Yelich to get going. He's got an OK average but he's not getting on base nearly enough and he somehow only has 1 double which is why his slugging is as low as it is. Also, Realmuto has come back to earth. Dee is actually not terrible, .330 OBP, on pace for 47 steals in 54 attempts and hitting aorund .300. Key for him is to hit around .300 and maintain an OBP around .350 and he is a very good player.

Also, enough of Tazawa, get wittgren the fuck back up here already. I'm cool with moving Garcia to the rotation in Koehler's place, and finding a way to DL or trade Tazawa or Urena and having Wittgren back up here.
Not even trying Garcia in the major league rotation is horrific management.

And just to add on to my point about the bats, we are slugging .393 as a team somehow on a team that has had Stanton and OZuna get off to red hot starts. Says a lot about the construction of the lineup.Comment

Are you saying because the marlins are poorly run? I dont think it will happen, I just think it is stupid to move a starter to the bullpen without exhausting every last possibility of that guy pitching in the rotation.Originally posted by ¿NICK? View PostComment

I'm talking more about moving Koehler to the pen. Let alone moving him to the pen for an unproven rookie. I don't disagree about moving Garcia to the pen prematurely.Comment

This like watching paint dry. Of course Lomo would Homer against us.Comment

Koehler to the pen would make him a lights out reliever, IMO. He has been at best a number 5 pitcher in the rotation for the last 2-3 years at this point. I have no idea if Garcia can put up the same numbers as him, I dont know enough about him but I think he should be at least given a shot in the ML rotation before we decide to move him to the bullpen full time. Im thinking in terms of net impact, so if Garcia could be reasonably similar to the pitcher that Koehler has been in the rotation, I think it would be a net positive overall just because im of the opinion that Koehler can be a lights out late inning reliever. I also think Garcia has really good stuff and can be a ML rotation pitcher based off what ive seen from him.Originally posted by ¿NICK? View Post
If Koehler was an innings eater and was able to go 7 more often despite his mediocre numbers, id leave him in the rotation, but he consistently goes 5 innings and over his career gets absolutely shelled after his 1st and 2nd times through the lineup. Just about every SP is like that, but his stats each time through the lineup are more drastic than most.
Im not saying it is an obvious decision, but id think very hard about it due to the fact that Koehler is a dominant late inning reliever potentially and I hate moving guys to the bullpen without giving them a shot in the rotation first.

Can we save us all some time and Volquez some pitches and just start every hitter automatically at 3-1?

What is it about this lineup that makes it so prone to such pronounced droughts?Comment

Volquez is like Wild Thing Vaughn. Maybe he needs glasses?Comment
