He's pitched in a few games.

He was the guy on the mound before Moran's implosion on Sunday.

I haven't seen all of the games - I've unfortunately gotten into the "they're behind, it's over" mode lately, as that "fight back, scrappy team" good feeling they had the first couple weeks is seemingly gone now.

Yeah ... but the guys who came in have done more than what was asked, in my opinion. The bare minimum is that they allowed us to continue our season. We'll probably be under .500 after this series before all the starters return, but the truth is, we were expected to be well under that given all this. If we're at worst 2-3 games under by the time the whole crew returns, then to me that's great. Perspective is huge here.

Yeah this replacement group has overachieved. I genuinely expected a ton of losses with this group. It's a blessing that we're where we are with the returning group close by. I know we've looked flat and lost 4 in a row recently but this would be very different if we were in last place demanding a miracle from the returnees. Gotta remember the expanded playoffs too. Third place teams can get a berth.

I don't know....I was listening to Tom Glavine talk about it, and the Marlins only beat up on underachievers, but will face a gauntlet coming up.  All while the Braves are excused because Albies & Acuna are hurt.

Maybe we did, but who cares? Lol.

There are so many ways to answer that but the bottom line is all wins count the same so who cares who we beat or didn't beat. It's not like you get more credit for beating a better team. A 4 game sweep over Baltimore counts the same as a 4 game sweep over the Yankees.

Those same underachieving Orioles beat up on the defending world champions. It should’ve negated that whole argument anyway.

It's amazing how people can't think logically even when obvious things like that happen.

Marlins aren’t going to get any respect untill we go on a post season roll and win multiple years. Don’t think even making the playoffs this season would move the needle

Just bring everyone back asap please

Didn't those underachievers sweep the Rays? And then the Phillies? And then the Nationals? I mean I get that those teams are underachieving themselves, but at some point if the Mets, Phillies, and Nats all suck why would it be a surprise if the Marlins find themselves in 2nd place come the end of the season?

They would get respect if they get to the NLCS.

Seriously doubt it if youT talking this year. They will say it’s just a bubble season and they got hot and lucky. It won’t be that they are a good team and that the organization is changing its ways

Yeah, at this level, and as many games that are played, it doesn't matter who you beat - the W's & L's are all that matter.

It's funny because growing up, I followed the Braves a lot.  I've been a Marlins fan since day 1, but I'm in Braves country, and have been for over 20yrs now.  Before MLB.TV, they were the only regular option.

I always thought their broadcast crews were pretty good, and unbiased.  In the past several years, I found out otherwise.  There is literally nothing the Marlins can do in their eyes to gain respect.  There will always be an excuse.
