Junk on the mound

Another pitcher that should not be starting but w/e

Junk tossing BP in the first inning but this lineup is so bad he got away with it

Gus Ramirez does not look good

This team has barely scored any runs against two of the worst pitching staffs in baseball. This might be a very long year with this lineup

They can’t have junk start man lol. So bad

Decent slider to that AA player though

Keep starting paddack and Junk and trading top 30 SPs for utility infielders and keep the good pitchers down for service time. Love being a marlin fan sometimes lol

OK FINALLY

Junk just needs to keep us in the game until the bullpen comes into play. He doesn't walk many but there is not enough swing and miss. Think he is better than Paddack at this point but both are placeholders until our young studs are ready.

That’s what’s frustrating we’re basically waiving the white flag in 40% of those games unless the fish score 7+ runs. They easily could have signed actual mlb pitchers this year from our billionaire owner.

I get they’re not trying to compete this year and I get the plan to get young guys in, but not so fun at times

What’s gotten into hicks??? Different batter out there

The marlins Twitter babip squad are really so obnoxious

It’s really not though lol. Those things are underlies to help u understand future success but they’re using in a vacuum. Not taking into account who is in the CWS team (they’re really bad except marakaumi who our lineup desperately needs) and their swgstr rates + where paddack was in the zone when he was in the zone it was a shitty start and paddack sucks

They have been talking about how he gained muscle in the offseason quite a bit. But they say that about a lot of guys and it goes no where, so it is not surprising that people might gloss over it.

Using FIP as indicator for a single game as indicator of success is incredibly juvenile way to use data and metrics.

Didn’t someone say he gained 5 mph bat speed?

Honestly even if he did, the sample is so small that I would not put too much stock in it unless it's still there by the end of April. Something to minitor though.

Wasn't it xFIP? Anyway, if you give up 2 homers and still have a decent FIP that would actually be a good sign. Low sample size FIP is usually bad for when the home run rate is unsustainably low (like zero homers in 3 starts or something). Paddack is not going to give up 2 homers per 5 innings over the whole season unless he sustains a season enfing injury before his next start.
