Blackru_fish Posted April 26, 2011 Share Posted April 26, 2011 Hello everyone, I am a British fan of the Marlins, currently living in Latvia. The other day I met a guy here in Riga who was from Miami and was a big fan of the Marlins. I remember telling him about some of my favourite players and that Miguel Cabrera was my favourite Marlin. But I was thinking who is my favourite Marlin from the present team roster. Well after tonight's 5-4 game against the Dodgers I'm beginning to think it could be Brian Sanches. Ok, so Brian Sanches currently is 3-0 for the season with an 0.00 ERA and also a 1.000 Batting Average to match. It's a great set of stats to have so far, and although it won't last forever I still like watching this guy throw. Despite staying up so many times last season to see the Marlins I don't really remember so much about him, but now I am really starting to take notice. I guess I was never really that focused on the Marlins Bullpen last year. Anyway, does anyone else like him or if not why? Who is your favourite player in the current roster? And how long do you think Sanches can keep his perfect stats for? It would be great to hear from some fellow Marlins fans here, as it's very rare that I ever meet any. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gizmo Posted April 26, 2011 Share Posted April 26, 2011 Sanches has been the kind of guy that has been better than he should be for about 3 seasons now. He's been great for the team during his tenure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My favorite is JJ, followed by LoMo and Stanton tied. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BroncoBob27 Posted April 26, 2011 Share Posted April 26, 2011 Brian has very quietly been lights out. I mentioned this in another thread recently. Our Native American just dosen't get the love he deserves. 1 hit in 13.2 innings?? And it's not like he has put those numbers up against Padre-ish teams. Bet he isn't high on Hopper's list of fav players right now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Haha :lol But isn't is awesome to think that our Bullpen, the MLB's best, wouldn't even lose a step if one of them were to get injured or something?

Schnellders Posted April 26, 2011 Share Posted April 26, 2011 Good to see a fellow fan from the UK! Sanches just keeps on being a steady reliever posting up solid numbers. Performance that sticks out for me so far this year was his 4 scoreless innings back at the start of the season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheU Posted April 26, 2011 Share Posted April 26, 2011 Sanches has been great! I also totally forgot about his lofty 1.000 BA! My fav current Marlin is Hanley! All time is Dontrelle Willis! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FLAY Posted April 27, 2011 Share Posted April 27, 2011 The Sanchise has been great for a few years now. It's great to know we have a guy that can give you 2-3 innings of solid relief if the starter is having a bad day. He's a bullpen saver. My current favorite Marlin is Gaby Sanchez while my all time favorite is Mike Lowell. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Knowing we have that kind of quality to back us up outweighs the fact that it's only April with these numbers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr Beinfest Posted April 27, 2011 Share Posted April 27, 2011 My favorite part about that Sanches game blowing HR was that... his ERA only jumped to 0.66 right after it. And then went back down again after he got some outs. Excusable, in my opinion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blackru_fish Posted April 27, 2011 Author Share Posted April 27, 2011 He's still done an incredible job so far. Agreed, I still like him a lot. I don't really think he can take the blame for the loss. They had the game in their hands in the 9th. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Michael Posted April 27, 2011 Share Posted April 27, 2011 Today's game changed my positive opinion of Sanches considerably. Is this a good or bad thing? Anyways, in truth, Sanches was due for a bad outing (albeit it wasn't bad, but considering his sparkly ERA of zilch before today...). Had he gone too much longer with no runs allowed and just one hit given up, things might have gotten out of hand on here when he finally blew up. However, I think he can continue on this run and keep an ERA in the 1.50 region at the end of the year. Hopefully. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
