Have the Marlins won a non-shutout yet this year?

In 2005:Huge jump in pitches per PA (which should come down when this page is updated)Declining K/9 rate (which should go up with the update)His BAA is about the same as 03-04, his OBP/SLG radically dropped (he's been pitching at home (pitcher's park), no? wait til he goes on the road)His GB/FB has really spiked up (which is a good thing).
(and no mark, i don't have TV).

Since Mark brought it up - saw another A's promo last night. Promo director's talking w/ Kendall (suited up) on the field. "OK, so what's gonna happen is Eric Chavez is going to barrel into you at top speed, then Ken Macha will douse you with gasoline, and then Nick Swisher ..." (dressed in fire-protection gear) "... will light you up. Hold onto the ball." "But what about the bulldozer?" Kendall asks, pointing to one waiting on the 3rd base side. "Don't worry about that yet." Cut away for the shilling, then cut back to the bulldozer @ home plate, & a dirty Kendall crawling out from underneath. Fun stuff.
Something tells me the A's hired the folks that did the Mariners' "Mojo Dojo" campaign from a while back.

I totally f'd up and missed a foul ball that Juan Pierre hit (the next batter after the FIRST of Dontrelle's hits) that bounced off MY SEAT!!! How embarassing. Closest I've ever come to a foul ball EVER and I BLEW IT. Luckily one of our party (not the Bearman) did wind up with it...

― 40% chill and 100% negative (Tracer Hand), Friday, 6 May 2011 11:36 (twelve years ago) link
With Dontrelle Willis not on the 40 man roster, they would have to make a move there to bring him up. Reds kind of have a log jam on the starting 5, especially with Johnny Cueto coming back next week. Leake has been moved to the bullpen.
I think definitely Dontrelle would be the guy called up if something happens to Chapman or Bill Bray. If Travis Wood continues to struggle, Dontrelle Willis might be given a shot to replace him in the starting five. Reds starting pitching has been pretty bad so far, so if it continues, I think the chance will come.

It wasn't a disaster. Didn't catch much but he seems to be driving toward the plate more aggressively. Frequently opened up/missed high and outside to righties like he has the past few years.
― Steve Aoki Newsletter (Andy K), Sunday, 10 July 2011 23:32 (twelve years ago) link
Why did he get pulled in the fifth? 69 pitches, 51 strikes(!), one walk, five Ks, five hits allowed (all singles)...
That was probably his best start in four years.
― Steve Aoki Newsletter (Andy K), Tuesday, 19 July 2011 10:44 (twelve years ago) link
There wasn't another rain delay AFTER the first inning, right? That first-inning delay would not have been a factor since it occurred during the top of the inning, while the Reds were up.
