April 28, 20224 yr That was a booty clencher there at the end but finally, for the first time (in a full season) since August 30th, 2017, the Marlins are over .500! Aguilar finally gets him a long ball. Errors in the 8th nearly murdered us. LOB nearly murdered us. Thankfully ... pulled through. J'Daniel Day tomorrow.
April 28, 20224 yr Bender and his little globito sliders that don't slide. I can't believe they didn't get three homers off his sorry ass Edited April 28, 20224 yr by Entendu

The August stat is depressing lol But on a positive note this is exactly the kind of win that they need to pull through in order to make the postseason this year and they did it. Really need to find some consistency from the lineup before some of the overachievers come back down to earth though.

That's the type of game they typically lose, so trying to look at a positive.

April 28, 20224 yr I’ll take a win anyway we can get it. Certainly not an incredibly inspiring win, but they all count in the end. Hopefully the front office understands this offense still needs major improvements in order to contend. Way too much swing and miss and inconsistency. I’m not sure there’s a single guy in the lineup I trust with RISP. Keep winning games in the meantime, and hope some reinforcements are on the way sooner than later Edited April 28, 20224 yr by marlins_09
April 28, 20224 yr So far this season, Starter ERA: 3.10 Reliever ERA: 3.15 Rogers and Elieser are weighing down the starter ERA. Armstrong is weighing down the bullpen, but will probably be one of the May 1st cuts. Bender and Scott need to get things figured out. Overall, pretty good.
April 28, 20224 yr As for the offense, 10th most K's, but we have played fewer games than the teams ahead of us. Might be top 3 in K rate. As for walks, we are 8th, but once again might be top 5 if you account for the games played. 8th in OBP, 14th in SLG, to go for 13th in OPS. That is still with a chunk of guys underperforming so far. With our pitching, though, middle of the pack offense would put us in contention.

April 28, 20224 yr Very crispy. Pitching was very good until those errors. Bender needs to learn how to throw quality pitches. He’s constantly throwing balls down the middle when he should be wasting one.

I’m trying to enjoy the wins. But this starting pitching group (minus Elieser) has a chance to be special. Everything we’ve projected over the last 2-3 years of what the rotation could be is coming to fruition. Don’t waste it with a subpar offense and “ok” bullpen.
April 28, 20224 yr It got very cold towards the end of the game and it might have saved a couple of HRs. Great game overall by the pitching staff. I wonder when they gonna bench Garcia for Berti or DLC?
