April 10, 200422 yr Armando was smoking. 96-98 on the gun....and the location was super. He was totally unhittable. Fox looked a bit shaky on the first batter, but got past him. And then looked strong on the next two. Great job by the bullpen tonight! :thumbup
April 10, 200422 yr Fox hit 96 on the gun also, and they said that he has had 2 tommy john surgeries. Tonight was another impressive performance from the bullpen.
April 10, 200422 yr Hi everyone! I think Benitez was a great addition (contrary to what all the tv analysts say). He is more solid than Looper and has stuff comparable to Urbina, for a cheaper price. GO MARLINS!

April 10, 200422 yr Hi everyone! I think Benitez was a great addition (contrary to what all the tv analysts say). He is more solid than Looper and has stuff comparable to Urbina, for a cheaper price. GO MARLINS! Don't get too ahead of yourself. It has been only 3 games. Urbina is a SOLID closer. Benitez is not up that level yet.
April 10, 200422 yr Perisho got the win. Faced 2 hitters, got 2 wins. That guy is living a dream right now.
April 10, 200422 yr No, Benitez got the save and Perisho got the win again, he has won as many games as batters hes faced.
April 10, 200422 yr Author I'm not sure but I think Perisho is leading the majors in wins, I'll check. lol. That has to be true unless some other reliever would have more. :notworthy
April 10, 200422 yr I'm not sure but I think Perisho is leading the majors in wins, I'll check. nm, he's tied for the lead Victor Zambrano and Kevin Brown both have 2 wins.

Did you know that Benitez two years ago was considered one of the top three closers in baseball? And last year he had a good year also. I'll take Benitez over Uggy any day. Benitez as we saw tonight could over power hitters and uggy early on could do that but now hes old and hardly goes over 93 mph.

Urbina's major stats 448 games 563 2/3 innings pitched 35 wins 37 losses 661 strikeouts 206 saves 37 Blown Saves .214 BAA 1.21 WHIP 3.32 ERA Benitez (prior to tonight) 566 games 586 1/3 innings pitched 30 wins 31 losses 766 strikeouts 199 saves 35 Blown Saves .189 BAA 1.21 WHIP 3.04 ERA so....how is urbina really superior to Benitez? question

ANSWER
April 10, 200422 yr I would take Urbina over Benitez any day of the week. Without question. I think if you look at career stats you will see Benitez's are MUCH better. He's proven he can be a dominant closer. He has just gotten a bad wrap cause of NY. I will take Benitez over Urbina or Looper any day. Both those guys always made me bite my fingernails
April 10, 200422 yr Benitez looked deadly out there tonight. not a bad deal for Perisho, eh? two batters, 2 wins, everyone loves you!
April 10, 200422 yr Man was he throwing gas like the old Armando! In ST he was around 90 and all of a sudden hitting 98 in the Radar Gun. He was throwing alot of strikes and dominating along with Fox who was also throwing hard (96 MPH)
