Matt Lindstrom

[ljshorty89]

I've said it before, and I'll say it again. The reason the Marlins will fall back to earth this year is their mediocre at best bullpen.

[DirtyKash]

That had to be one of the most painfully inept and pathetic performances I've ever seen. His stuff is so below average it's not funny. Below average speed on the fastball and no movement whatsoever.

94.50 ERA today

Chien-Ming Wang laughs at him.

Wait for it.








-17.7 points today in fantasy.

98 mph is apparently below average It was the first time he had pitched in a week so lets not blow our wad here. If Lindstrom does continue to struggle, they have Leo Nunez to replace him. The Marlins will be fine.

98? Really? I was watching yesterday and that didn't look like 98 at all. When he wasn't missing the plate by miles, he was just grooving it up there right in the middle of the plate and his pitches were straight as an arrow. He's the next Kevin Gregg.

He's better than Gregg and like I said, it was the first time he had pitched in a week. I'm not excusing the fact that he was piss poor and should be able to hold a three run lead but he not pitching could have a lot to do with it. His lack of command can be attributed to being warm the bench for so long.

Is his 98 mph with movement or without? Because I know I'd rather hit 98 on a straight line then 88 with big movement.

[ljshorty89]

Relatively straight last year. Haven't seen much of him this year.

But yeah, DK, he throws high 90's. In the Mets' system like 3 or 4 years ago, he hit 102 on the gun.

Most of the time it does have movement but in that game he did not. He also has a nasty slider.

Lindstrom gives up a double to Juan Uribe, walks both Andres Torres (who?) and freaking Rich Aurilia before being taken out of the ninth. Nice closer they have there.

Lindstrom is another hard-throwing headcase. Good luck there...

If someone can figure him out, he has a chance. But he's also about 28 or so and injury prone too.

Like I said, good luck. Keep in mind, Henry Owens had good stuff too, and probably still does, but hasn't done shit except get hit with a PED to start the year. They were like a two for one deal packed in a bag of shit, but atleast you guys didn't give up anything special.
