August 22, 201213 yr I Don't care what he is owed next year. As long as he is pitching for the Marlins, the team will go nowhere. I'd rather see ANY of our minor league guys than this POS.
August 22, 201213 yr Author This dude is one of the worst pitchers in baseball. Yet his spot in rotation hasn't been questioned all season.
August 22, 201213 yr Enough of him. its been the same inconsistent awfulness his whole career. Trade him to any team willing to take on the last year of his salary. So sick of his bs.
August 22, 201213 yr Who was the charge who gave a long term shot to him? He should be fired 10 times.
August 22, 201213 yr Last season he led the NL in most hits allowed (244). If he gets tagged with the loss in the game right now then he'll have 7 losses in his last 8 starts. Frankly, I'm really sick of watching him pitch. He had 1 good season in 2008 (15-8, 3.52 ERA) and since then he hasn't even been a 'serviceable' starter. 2009: 5.06 ERA 2010: 4.51 ERA 2011: 4.67 ERA 2012: 4.94 ERA (before tonight)
August 22, 201213 yr Those numbers are definitely serviceable for a back end of the rotation guy. The only problem is that he's making $11.5MM next season.
August 22, 201213 yr Well we did get rid of Hanley so that's where the money can go!! Good signing everyone! YA PERIPHERALS!
August 22, 201213 yr Nolasco's problem isn't a case of poor luck based on peripherals; it's a case of him sucking due to regression. He's not even the same pitcher he was before. Before, he would at least have stretches of dominance and occasional season outliers. This year, he just sucks. He's become a "pitch to contact" guy more and more every year and he just sucks now.

I've gotta assume he changed his pitching style because he saw his stuff fading or something; otherwise, what an idiot to make that change and never try and get back to what he was/maybe could have been.

August 23, 201213 yr The funny part about the winner joke is that it hasn't even been true for the past two years, and even then there's only been one season where it's actually noticeable.
August 24, 201213 yr Last season he led the NL in most hits allowed (244). If he gets tagged with the loss in the game right now then he'll have 7 losses in his last 8 starts.

He used to be 91-94 on the fastball and had nasty strikeout stuff. Now he sits 89-90 and gives up the most hits in the league. Then he walks back to the dugout with his f***ing annoying bulging chest and mohawk.
August 24, 201213 yr Gaudin isn't part of any long term plans, so go ahead and release him and move Nolasco to that spot in pen and go with a JJ, Buehrle, Turner, LeBlanc and Eovaldi rotation for the rest of the way. Sadly the Marlins are left with the prospect of eating the Nolasco contract or using him in the pen until it expires.
August 29, 201213 yr if he wasn't put on waivers, that is stupid - if we could not have scored a deal we could always have pulled him back
