Fish Wrap - Marlins 10, Padres 1

by craig on Apr 27, 2010 5:34 AM EDT in News and Rumors

Josh Johnson's night was something to behold. He pitched a complete game, striking out 12 (a new personal best), gave up only 3 hits (a new personal best), and drove in three runs (tying his personal best). But JJ wasn't the only starting pitcher to set personal game records in the contest; Mat Latos chipped in too. Latos' 2.2 IP was the quickest exit of his career, and for the first time ever he walked in a run with the bases loaded. So both starters now have new personal marks to aim for in the future. I'm just guessing, but I think JJ is a little happier about his accomplishments than Latos. Could be wrong about that though.

It was an interesting night on the offensive side of things for the Marlins. The Fish racked up 12 hits and matched that with 12 strikeouts. You don't do that every day of the week. Hanley Ramirez led off with a homer for the second time this season, and when Cody Ross drove in John Baker with a double in the second, the game was over. After that, it was stats padding time with Dan Uggla, Gaby Sanchez and Cody Ross doing it the best.

All in all, it was nice to get a blowout win for a change. The Marlins needed one.

fun game to be at yesterday

It was awesome cuz everytime i had to use the bathroom, i just went when JJ was pitching because i knew by the time i got back to my seats, it was the marlins turn to hit already. He was onnnn! I told my girl when they were already up by a bunch, JJ was at bat, man on first and 1 or no outs (i forget mucho vodka), that JJ would normally bunt in a situation like that but with the huge lead, fuhgedaboutit. and of course he got a base hit. Just that kind of night.

oh and what about.... the big worm?

did y’all hear rich and tommy last night? i’m watching the replay right now on fsn and they mentioned how stanton’s done in his last two games: on sunday, 2 hr’s 4 rbi’s. on monday, he figured two wasn’t enough and hit 3….. threee…. 3 hr’s and 7 rbi’s. and he has 17 BB’s to 18 K’s. i think he’s done with AA.

Yes, but...

…those 18 strikeouts were in only 65 at-bats. Not that that’s not a slight improvement, and clearly this is a good sign for his ability to handle AA pitching, but I suspect his pitch recognition isn’t QUITE there yet.

Well, his strikeouts aren't that abnormal for the Fish...

Our team does love to hack, but I’d agree that he needs more time. A September call-up seems like the best decision at this point.

Chris Coghlan is NLRoY 2009 (that's a +1 for me!)
Can't wait for JJ or Nolly to win NL Cy Young 2010!

I agree we have a lot of high walks/high strikeouts players...

…but Stanton’s strikeout percentage in AA is equal to Uggla’s in the majors.

Which would be more of a concern if he wasn’t 20.

Little confused as to why the Marlins don’t use AAA for their prospects (until after they reach the majors)… surely it’s a higher level of competition?

trueee

ya i remember dontrelle and miggy came up from AA that fateful year and cogz last year too right? it seems like AAA is more for their fringe players and 40 man roster players. logan’s in AAA though…

by Port305 on Apr 27, 2010 6:40 PM EDT up reply actions

Yes...

…and of course the guys we’ve had who have major-league experience but need more minor-league work. Maybin was in AAA. Miller, West and VandenHurk are in AAA right now.

I mean, I guess my point is that if Stanton turns out to be too good to learn anything from AA — this may be the case, though I don’t want to jump to conclusions — and yet not ready for the majors, what are we going to do with him?
