Also the Marlins always play the Mets well- they’ll fall back to earth very hard.

That’s Mets’ speak for, “we blew it. Hitters came up empty. Bullpen is a huge weakness.”

What smart fan doesn’t say that? Also, look at the numbers of the Marlins against the Mets the last 4 years. You’ve gotta be the dumbest person on here.

what makes writers think his babip will fall? does the quality or your writing of articles correct itself?
Kayrall
I suggest that you develop at least a basic understanding of babip, its tendencies, and what it measures before commenting on it.

The poor quality of slide’s comments never corrects itself.

i liked it. i feel good about it. i’ll keep doing it.

Proof that ignorance is bliss….

thanks tester, just being consistent

with that logic, no records would ever be broken

Since its way above average

The Marlins actually could lock up Ozuna, since they are selling the team anyway. It wouldn’t be Loria’s liability.

Does anyone know where I could look up stats on relief innings pitched by team? I thought the idea in the post that it is far-fetched to expect a bullpen to pitch 3 innings per game might not make much sense (ie I suspect some bullpens last year pitched 3+ innings per game) but I was not able to find such a stat anywhere, looked on -reference and fangraphs.
Anyone know where I could find this stat?

Well I just looked up the Nationals pitching stats from last year and they pitched right around 485 innings in relief, so 3 IP per game. And this is from a team known for having elite starters and a suspect bullpen.

Near nightly basis is the key phrase for that

Fangraphs, team pitching stats. There’s a tab for relievers.
You can adjust for extra innings by looking at the IP for starters instead, and subtracting it from 9. That would tell you whether a teams bullpen is overworked due to luck (extra inning games) or talent (early exits by starters).

Well Steve, these Marlins notes sure got folks worked up…

The writer is simply suggesting what anyone would suggest that covers baseball. Statistics, in small sample sizes, whether unusually high or low, will ultimately gravitate towards the mean.
That’s like saying Ender Inciarte who has 4 HR’s right now, will end up hitting 40 HR’s by the end of the year…Is it possible?? Yeah, it is possible, but the more plausible answer would be that his HR totals will gravitate down closer to his average production.
No one is knocking Ozuna, nor his great start he is having, but the facts are his BABIP is pretty unsustainable. Then, once his BABIP lowers, his other stats will lower as well. Not saying his batting line will fall of a cliff, but it will ultimately decrease back closer to his average production.
Although, it is possible he has figured some things out, and he will continue to hit for more power this year, and if so good for him and the Marlins..

I think he will be better but not that good for sure

4 innings per game from any bullpen is clearly unsustainable, and it is murder on their collective arms. The Marlins are either going to have their starters go further into games, or they are going to overwork their bullpen guys at a record setting pace…
But, it is early, and taking into account early pitching limits, etc. the numbers should even themselves out over the next month or so..But good lord if those numbers stay the same, they are going to ruin the guys in their pen…
