He is worse than Pinto considering he gives up runs everytime he goes out there. This guy has got to go. I know there are better relievers in the minors.

He's had one, MAYBE two bad outings this season.

Against teams with good offenses.

 

Relax.

He had a pretty good April, not the best May thus far, but his May stats have been inflated by two bad outings.

 

 

Now go back to your hole.

In 8 innings in April, Leroux had 9 strikeouts against 3 walks in 8 innings with only 2 earned runs against him for a 2.25 ERA. This was across 6 appearances.

 

In May, he's pitched 7 innings while giving up 9 earned runs with 8 strikeouts against 6 walks for a 11.57 ERA. This has been across 8 appearances.

 

He's also had 11 groundouts to 1 flyout in April while 7-4 in May.

 

The kid has a fastball that can get up there in MPH and I've seen it with some nasty movement. He also has a nice changeup that I've seen him do well with.

 

Its just one extreme to the other, he was awesome in April and has been bad in May, but the ability is there. I wanna see him work it out quickly up here in the majors because I think he has the stuff to make it.

Typical sort of bullpen guy, some good outings, some bad. Hopefully he turns things around as we need every one of our relievers during this long stretch of games with no off days.

There isn't anyone in AAA thats pitching well enough to be promoted would be my answer. For the most part the Marlins have shown patience in making decisions to demote someone, (e.g. Tim Wood) eventually he'll pitch better.

he had a terrible game the other night, so Fredi throws him out there last night in a NO pressure situation... and he still sucked. Leroux sucks.

"This guy here is DEAD!"

 

"Cross him off then......"

Arguable. Buente has been doing well and he's on the 40 man.

Leroux optioned back to AAA, Tim Wood recalled, per Clark Spencer.

Leroux is horrible. I've said it before and people here tried to argue with me on it. Apparently the Marlins feel the same way.

At least he was pretty with his inherited runners. He came in with 7 runners on and none of them scored and that's with him getting out of the inning so no cheapies with the 7.

C'mon.... the Marlins don't think he's horrible or they never would've called him up. He'll be back, just needs to work some things out.
