NL Notes: Padres, Clevinger, Lamet, Marlins, Marte

By TC Zencka | October 4, 2020 at 3:27pm CDT

Padres manager Jayce Tingler spoke to the media regarding injured starters Mike Clevinger and Dinelson Lamet, saying that both hurlers are playing catch but not yet throwing bullpen sessions. Their official status remains day-to-day, per The Athletic’s Andy McCullough. With the NLDS consisting of 5 games over 5 consecutive days this season, the Padres don’t have the luxury of using a roster spot on a pitcher who’s not going to be ready to throw. Clevinger and Lamet will likely be healthy enough to start, or they won’t be on the NLDS roster. The Padres will set their NLDS roster on Tuesday, per Dennis Lin of the Athletic (via Twitter).

  • Miami will likewise take as much time as possible before making a decision on Starling Marte. In the meantime, per Jordan McPherson of the Miami Herald (via Twitter), it’s “Rest. Recovery. Treatment.” The Marlins will likely start Magneuris Sierra if Marte isn’t on the roster. Unlike with the Padres’ starters, there is a scenario where Marte is available to pinch-hit, but not to start. Sierra had just 53 plate appearance during the regular season, but he’s a burner who put together some nice at-bats against the Cubs in the wild card round.
  • Game one, of course, would likely pit the Marlins against southpaw Max Fried. In that case, Monte Harrison or Lewis Brinson would be more likely to get the nod. Brinson saw the most playing time during the season, slashing .226/.268/.368 across 112 plate appearances in 47 games. Brinson started 28 of the Marlins 60 games in the outfield, but he saw more time in the corners than in center. For what it’s worth, Brinson’s triple slash jumped to .260/.315/.480 in his 54 plate appearances against left-handers in 2020.

      The Marlins are in the playoffs. Yelich is not.

        And neither is Realmuto.

        But Lewis Brinson, Monte Harrison, Jorge Alfaro and Sixto Sanchez are.

        And while Ozuna is, he’ll be facing Sandy Alcantara.

        And all cheaper for total wins than Stanton, who Jeter “gifted” to the Yankees.

      Paddack is overrated. He was hyped to death when he first came up. He can still be a decent pitcher at times, but he’s not at all consistent. And the Dodgers usually hammer him.

        I will never forget Padre fans losing their minds here when I told them Dustin May has better stuff and higher upside than Paddack.

          Paddack desperately needs to develop a third pitch. He’s always been a fast ball / change up guy. If his change isn’t effective, hitters just sit fastball. And we all know what happens when major league hitters are able to do that.

    I know I’ll get grief for this, but you spell out zero through nine. It’s a fundamental rule of writing.

      Not trying to give you grief, but I did want to point out that while what you wrote is correct for AP Style, every publication can create and use its own style guide. I advise a high school newspaper, and while we use AP Style as our starting point, we use different guidelines in some cases; revisions and updates to our style guide are part of an ongoing discussion with my editors.

      As we know, MLBTR takes a much more casual approach to style than, say, the New York Times or the Sporting News, which I think is merited by their format and their business model. After all, the whole purpose of the style rules is to provide clarity and consistency, and I don’t think writing “5” instead of “five” compromises this goal.

        If they were consistent writer to writer, I might be able to bite my tongue and live with it, but TC seems to do it much more often than the other writers.

          Well, as a copy editor for over a decade, it’s been my job to fix these mistakes. I’m not sure, however, at what point I went “crazy over” it.

    If Clevinger and Lamet aren’t healthy you’ll have to do some combination of righty and lefty to get enough innings for the pen to take over.

    Richards starts game 1, I think, till he gets 2 timws through the order followed by Strahm for a couple innings.

    Game 2 I think you give the ball to Davies.

    Game 3 I think you go Morejon for 5 innings or after 2nd time through order followed by Paddack.

    it is what it is at this point with the injuries.
