EndLine Posted April 27, 2005 Share Posted April 27, 2005 someone should make a sig and dedicate it to the person who makes the "post of the night" thread. With the date on it ofcourse. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rferry Posted April 27, 2005 Share Posted April 27, 2005 Well... did anyone find it odd that Smith's first appearance was with a six-run lead? I thought Jack would have liked to test him in a tight spot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The_Punisher Posted April 27, 2005 Author Share Posted April 27, 2005 guys, I was saying Smith was starting tomorrow, but I just looked I guess he was the last to pitch today, but I was on MLB.com, and thought he was tomorrow's starter.

The_Punisher Posted April 27, 2005 Author Share Posted April 27, 2005 lol sorry. but i went berzerk, didn't want us to drop one to colorado with smith up there, he was horrible with ATL, he had nearly a 6 something ERA, sorry, I guess MLB.com had put a mistake, but they fixed it, it'll be lieter afterall.

FishFan24 Posted April 27, 2005 Share Posted April 27, 2005 MLB (and the teams website) has the pictures of the pitchers that are currently pitching at that time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
djm305 Posted April 27, 2005 Share Posted April 27, 2005 Personally, I thought Smith looked pretty good out there. He got through an inning of work with no trouble at all and picked up a strikeout in the process. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marlins2003 Posted April 27, 2005 Share Posted April 27, 2005 The guy helped us win a game tonight. What else can you ask? Clearly the Marlins philosophy this season is to load up on arms with major league experience and run them in an inning at a time as opposed to last season when guys like GF and Howard and fillintheblank were called upon with little hope of lasting success. Smith has been around long enough to understand what his role is. He's the mopup guy, and if he can provide innings when called upon, the team is better off having him.

legacyofCangelosi Posted April 27, 2005 Share Posted April 27, 2005 B/c of pulpo going down and bump playing well, smith is now the bottom of the bullpen guy. So far our bullpen has performed well b/c everyone has done what theyve been asked to do. Mecir and jones (except for that mets game he allowed 2 runs in) have been very solid in their roles. As has mota. Bump is mckeons workhorse this year, and hes been doing well pithcing the 7th as well. So now we have smith to mop up whether its a big lead or a big deficit. He'll perform fine in that role. Last years problem was that people like manzanillo were being called upon to pitch setup or to even close (philly series) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rferry Posted April 27, 2005 Share Posted April 27, 2005 Great point, legacy. It's possible to work in a lesser arm or a few of them if you have relief aces you can rely on. Mecir, Jones and Mota give McKeon three, with Bump and Perisho effective middle men. Makes the bullpen much easier to deal with. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
