May 19, 201313 yr the box score says W, still not sure what that means. Nolasco pitched a gem & bullpen tried their best to blow it but managed to hang on. The offense exploded for 5 hits and 2 runs. Ozuna with the big hit today. He & Dietrich keep impressing.
May 19, 201313 yr I assume this means no more Seashell as closer. Closer by committee or let Webb have a shot I say.
May 19, 201313 yr My prediction from the game thread came true. Offense exploded for 2 runs, unfortunately that means we won't score again for a week. Hopefully Nolasco can pitch like this a few more times and get something decent back when they trade him.
May 19, 201313 yr Author Derek Dietrich made a heck of a play for the 1st out in the 9th, check out the replay if you missed it.

May 19, 201313 yr Jacob Turner pitching tonight. If he does a half-decent job get him up here for his next start
May 19, 201313 yr If the first half ended today, Mike Dunn would probably be our All-Star. What's your thoughts on our closer situation?
May 19, 201313 yr If the first half ended today, Mike Dunn would probably be our All-Star. What's your thoughts on our closer situation? I still think Cishek is our best reliever. His sample size is getting big enough to say that he has trouble getting lefties out, though. They all have flaws. -Cishek has trouble with lefties. -Dunn shouldn't be pitching to too many righties. -Ramos doesn't have a real problem with either, but he walks guys/gives up a lot of fly balls. -Webb just isn't good enough.
May 20, 201313 yr Cishek's troubles don't surprise me. The fact that he had such good command of his pitches until this year is actually the most surprising thing. With his delivery, I would suspect eventually something would get out of whack and he wouldn't be able to locate his pitches as effectively.

Ramos is much better suited for the closer role right now, if the Marlins must have one. You don't hand Cishek the ball automatically in the ninth if some lefties are due up. That's dumb managing.

I agree. I like what Redmond did today. To be honest, this team shouldn't have a designated closer right now, and the same can be said for many other teams, as well. The role is stupid. Just play matchups as you'd do in the 6th, 7th, 8th, etc. for the 40 wins we have left this year.
