Just for kicks: Keeping Odrisamer Despaigne in the rotation
The Miami Marlins dropped another game to the Washington Nationals. It was no fault of Tuesday’s starter Odrisamer Despaigne.
September hasn’t gotten off to the kind of start the Miami Marlins were hoping for. To capitalize on their already slim playoff chances, they were going to need to have a near perfect month. They haven’t, and they open Wednesday morning four games under .500.
With a patchwork starting rotation, the Miami Marlins handed the ball to Cuban righty Odrisamer Despaigne. He’s been ineffective for most of the season, but you know what? He was pretty darn good on Tuesday night. It was his best start of the season.
