I know there's been a lot of hate on nicolino lately, and some of it is well deserved. But it's hilarious how Chen gets a pass sometimes when they are very similar pitchers in terms of pure stuff

 

wut. the only similiarty b/t the two is they're lefty. Their arsenals are drastically different. 

 

Chen also has had success before in MLB (in a hitters park and a hitters division) something nicolino is unlikely to ever achieve. And he's hardly getting a free pass on this board

Chen great signing well done everyone

So yeah, looks like Chen is still doing whatever he was doing earlier in the year (pitching lower in the zome presumably to induce more contact) which is what he wasnt doing in baltimore...Again it smells like a marlins coaching staff thing

 

 

I know I complain about Stanton owing us back money. Chen is in that same boat.

89-91 on their fastballs. Below average change ups, spotty command and rarely used curveballs. Not seeing how they are "drastically" different

Chen fb 2 mph faster (huge diff b/t 90 and 88 esp from a lefty). Chen primary secondary pitch is his slider. Nico is his change up. Nico actually has a + change (his only good pitch). You're right Chen's change sucks (why he doesnt use it as much as his slider, which is +).

 

Chen also strikes guys out and doesnt walk many and has 700 innings of sub 4 ERA in the AL East. Nico is a AAAAer

 

 

Bour!!!

 

 

Bour homered......thanks Chen.

 

 

I dont normally like games like this because we usually get out-slugged. 

 

 

we basically need 3 0 run innings from mcgowan. he just needs to keep the walks down

 

 

ok marlins trying get back in game

 

 

Cash in Real Deal

 

 

Chen opens Thursday vs Cubs and word of warning you better be ready because if you can't get nick hundley out...

 

 

Jong is pretty good most of the times

 

If this is an approach that either or the staff placed on him, it clearly needs to stop. Chen has to function and work the way he did as a finished product in Baltimore, and changing him now may only serve to muddle his arsenal and skillset. However, if this is associated with some loss of command and location ability, the Marlins may have a rough season (or more) ahead of them with Chen.

 

 

GODDAMIT

 

 

Totally fucking wasted a chance to tie this shit

Wish Mattingly would've pinch-hit for him there.

It's fine. A perfect time to relax on this. Chen is out. Bour homered. Heart of order due up. Only 4th inning.

 

 

Wish Mattingly would've pinch-hit for him there.

 

ehhh the rockies pitcher and pen is pretty bad...We'll score more runs and we need more innings from mcgowan. they should have squeezed though

 

 

Wish Mattingly would've pinch-hit for him there.
