May 27, 201115 yr Hopefully he proves he can start and can be a reliable 5th starter. Whatchoo talkin bout? He'll be better than JJ!
May 27, 201115 yr Meh, sounds good. Best case scenario is he pitches around 5 innings and Badenhop can provide a solid 2 or 3 after. Our bullpen is pretty stacked with depth though and they've had the past 2 days off. Go Brian! :thumbup

May 27, 201115 yr I had read earlier that Hopper would get the start, but Brian is a good choice as well.
May 27, 201115 yr Edwin knows whats best, I trust any move he makes, hopefully Sanches can at least be decent. Sanches will draw Kuroda who is 5-4 with a 3.11 ERA In 5 Starts Kuroda is 1-1 with a 3.10 ERA lifetime against the Marlins.
May 27, 201115 yr I love throwing guys out there to start who don't pitch from the windup, it really is a psyche for hitters. Hopefully Brian throws a good 4 innings and passes it to Badenhop for two or three inning and the back end of the pen finishes the job.
May 27, 201115 yr Whatever it is, you're going to see Badenhop following him, likely. I doubt he goes more than 4 innings, unless he's pitching great. He's valuable to our BP.
May 27, 201115 yr I can't believe we have absolutely no one else available... When did you become such a pessimistic poster? Your last 4 pots, including the above: 1. No kidding, we're terrible in these kinds of games for the most part. Thankfully we got hits at just the right time to save this from being a complete disaster. 2.public/style_images/clean/snapback.pngErick, on May 26, 2011 - 01:43 AM, said: I'm starting to dislike Webb; the guy allows a ton of baserunners and he has no strikeout pitch. So he's another Leo Nunez? 3. That was the most pathetic thing I've seen. He just had to remind us of the real Leo I know and can't stand. What a joke. They are 29-19. Enjoy the ride.
May 27, 201115 yr Really. Almost 1/3rd of the way through, there are exactly 3 teams playing .600 ball. The Marlins are one of them. They have the best road record in all of MLB. They're a game behind the Phillies but are even in the loss column. What's not to like?

May 27, 201115 yr Interesting. I was thinking the hopper then sanches but whatever. I guess bc the bullpen wasn't used as much with sf this was a viable scenario?
May 27, 201115 yr I know he's just of the DL, but Hensley has starting experience and almost made the team as a starter last year.Good Luck Brian
May 27, 201115 yr Brian Sanches is the team's long reliever, so I'm not sure why everyone's so surprised. Hensley's not even an option, and Hopper rarely ever goes more than two innings in an appearance. The times the Marlins have needed 3-4 innings from a reliever this year, Brian Sanches has been the guy to do it.
May 27, 201115 yr Can anyone recall if the Marlins have used this strategy in recent years? Does last September count? Adalberto Mendez is basically a career minor league reliever. Last September was so brutal...
