Piazza31 Posted March 20, 2019 Share Posted March 20, 2019 Anyone else as cautiously excited for what 4/5ths of the pitching staff is capable of? Am I losing my mind or has our pitching staff gone 4 or games in the last 12 without the starter giving up a hit in ST? Richards is the one I'm most excited about with that changeup, but man- even Smith, and Lopez have been dealing. Throw in Alcantra, Straily and hopefully the guy we got from PHI and we might have a Rotation to compete for a while like the Mets had in 2015 to now. How many games has our staff pitched a no hitter into the 5th or 6th and pulled the starter? Gotta be a confidence booster. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SilverBullet Posted March 20, 2019 Share Posted March 20, 2019 Yes I'm cautiously optimistic as well. Very nice foundation to build off of. Tbh some never thought we'd have this decent of a rotation in just year 2 of this rebuild. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Admin Posted March 20, 2019 Share Posted March 20, 2019 After years of having offense and not enough pitching, we may have the opposite this season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We were only two pitchers away, suddenly we have like 5 or 6 good ones. #FuckJeter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
legacyofCangelosi Posted March 21, 2019 Share Posted March 21, 2019 They should go with urena Smith straily Richards and one of Alcántara or Lopez. Cut chen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SilverBullet Posted March 21, 2019 Share Posted March 21, 2019 How come no one has given credit to Mel Stottlemyre Jr yet? "Its only spring training" but this hot streak on the pitching side happens basically immediately after Mel gets a chance to work these pitchers while this never once happened under Juan Nieves. Maybe the Marlins got really lucky bringing Mel over and hopefully it makes a difference sooner than later. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

marlins_09 Posted March 22, 2019 Share Posted March 22, 2019 I really thought we should’ve traded Urena this offseason. I’ve always been a fan of his, but he’s 27 and super cheap coming off back to back solid years. He should have enough value to recoup a decent infield prospect that can join the new core. Strailys days are numbered. I’m ready to see a rotation of - Alcantara, Lopez, Smith, Richards, Neidert Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

THRILLHO Posted March 22, 2019 Share Posted March 22, 2019 I really thought we should’ve traded Urena this offseason.

I’m ready to see a rotation of - Alcantara, Lopez, Smith, Richards, Neidert I feel like Urena could be a prime mid season trade candidate if he continues pitching the way he did at the end of last season. A lot of it depends on how the hitting prospects progress. The timeline seems a bit longer on the hitting side of things at the moment Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SilverBullet Posted March 22, 2019 Share Posted March 22, 2019 Yeah it's a fine line with Urena. If this team is good in two seasons he can help them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SilverBullet Posted March 22, 2019 Share Posted March 22, 2019 Caleb came from the Yankees, though, sir. And? Caleb was the first trade done by the new ownership. When Caleb got here we still had Stanton Ozuna Yelich Gordon Bour and Realmuto. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
