With a look forward as well as back, I think Ryan Brasier has been the most unsung pitching surprise . He has worked his way into the 8th inning setup man role. If he can keep up his effectiveness , he could be big help in the playoffs. In the position player unsung role, I will take Eduardo Nunez in a very close call over Brock Holt. Never Nunez to all his haters, he has played virtually full time at two positions where the expected incumbents (Pedroia/ 21 yr old Devers) have not been able to get or stay on the field. No way Eduardo was expected to play a full season hit above .250, 30 XBH and could have 50 rbi's by year end. Brock is doing what we saw Brock do a couple years ago and no question his value but he is playing to what could be expected of him, more so than Nunez.

Hah, Brett Gardner grounds into a DP to secure the Marlins win, and 9 games up by Boston
-
Brasier making a serious bid for the set up role. Great snag by Moreland saved trouble
-
As so many , including you, have said the playoffs are a short sample sprint, not the marathon of the season. If the Sox of the prior 3 games showed up, goodbye. If these guys show up , it's WS. Who's hot and who's not in October??
-
Marlins pounding the Yankee BP. now 9-3. They may be able to hold that one as Yankees are down to 3 outs.
-
That was so much more 2018 JDM. Got the bat around very quickly Very good to see.
-
80-1 record after leading through 8 innings says something pretty good about the BP. And that's with 4 blown saves by Kimbrel. Sox are good at coming back after the lead slipped.
-
Joe Kelly doing what Joes does. 27 pitches, to get 3 outs , 3 hard hit balls and a 2 out walk. Pitches all over the place. How can you take this guy into the post season. He can't use his 100mph ability, BUT, the result is no run
-
Marlins add 1 and have runners on 1st/3rd. Doesn't mean much to them.
-
That would certainly be fair depending on how it ends. I would have laughed if the scorer wound up giving it to Hembree. Johnson has been short started ( for reasons) in more than a couple games. Builds up the BP W's. BP is cumulatively 20-8 not counting Pom's results.
-
Check my call from this A.M.
-
5-3 Marlins in bottom 7. 6 outs for NYY. They lost Gregorious and Chapman to DL overnight. Still shaping up as one of the WC's, maybe with the full lineup back. Almost 40 days to a play-in game.
-
Amazing how much better the outcome is when the bottom of the lineup strings a few hits together and you get 3 HR's. Cures a lot of ills quickly.
-
That's ok pardner. I wanted to replace Mitch's sorry ass with Pearce earlier.
-
Agree, he actually may need the work just to stay sharp. No telling what tomorrow brings
-
OK, I don't believe Johnson can get the win because he didn't go 5 . Does Hembree get it ? If Johnson replaced a starter for whatever reason after one batter, I think he would get the win.
-
Good inning and very efficient by Barnes, way more like it.
-
OB says RS bullpen has allowed the fewest HR's per 9 innings in the AL. Tells you a lot about the first half vs second half and how bad pitching is across the spectrum or is it just the year of the HR ??
-
Otero is RH pitcher , SS
-
Good inning, but JDM sure looks more baffled than at any time all year. He may need the day off. He did get an early rbi though.
-
That's why. Moreland really helps out.
-
Post A-S game the worst pitching WHIP on team is Pomeranz at 1.72. Second worst--Kimbrel at 1.55, , closely followed by Joe Kelly at 1.54. Brasier ?? Try 0.77
-
11 BP HR's allowed over last 26 games plus tonight? I think Hembree leads with 3. During the same period, starters have given up 20, led by Porcello with 8 and Johnson with 6. Joe Kelly = 0 HR's last 12 games, Brasier =0 last 11 games.
-
Hembree's first 3 pitches wanted nothing to do with EE. So he quickly corrected that problem by challenging him.
-
Nice bullpen guys. Just keep hoping something good will happen
