Came in sitting mid 90's. I think he gets next crack at the job. Nobody else has claimed the role and Robles has shown life since being demoted. Struck out Chapman, Canha, Grossman. On 15 pitches.

He looked like the version we saw last year hitting 97 several times. Buttrey is meh. 3 Link to post Share on other sites
ryno1980 588 Posted August 13, 2020 Share Posted August 13, 2020 (edited) Rowan Wick In with a four run lead in the 7th with inherited runners to face Lindor and gives up the RBI single. Jeffress likely getting a save opp unless this goes sour. Edited August 13, 2020 by ryno1980 1 Link to post Share on other sites

I think it was mostly going to your best reliever with two on against their best hitter. But I’m not sure. Ross probably wants to give Kimbrel another shot at it unfortunately. Said he was encouraged by his last outing. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

aapox 896 Posted August 13, 2020 Share Posted August 13, 2020 Kintzler solid again tonight...minus missing losing the game by like 6" on a Tellez foul bomber that just missed the pole, but hey, it was foul. Should get the win here if the Marlins hold this 3 run lead. Link to post Share on other sites

Seems like 55/45 Wick to Jeffress as of now, only giving a small bump to Wick because he's been given recent save opportunities. I have a feeling he's going to mix and match them, though. They've both been great. Link to post Share on other sites

JameisofThrones 218 Posted August 13, 2020 Share Posted August 13, 2020 Kela activated off the IL. Not sure how quickly they will plug him into the closer role, but it's not like they have anyone of consequence there now, so probably very soon if not immediately. Link to post Share on other sites

I’d expect immediately or maybe 1, 2 non save time ups at the most. Agreed! Link to post Share on other sites

JameisofThrones 218 Posted August 13, 2020 Share Posted August 13, 2020 Edwin Diaz looking good again today (gun had him at 100, 2Ks). Still not super high-leverage with a 7-2 lead in the eighth, but it's something for those of us who have held on.... 1 Link to post Share on other sites
