JUPITER (CBSMiami/AP) — The Miami Marlins are going to have some decisions to make when it comes to the team’s pitching staff.
The “homer” could follow the “opener” into baseball’s lexicon.
Marlins manager Don Mattingly says he’d consider rearranging some of pitcher Wei-Yin Chen’s starting dates during the regular season should last year’s atrocious home/road splits continue.
“If we’re seeing the same type trend then I think if you have a chance to schedule it — if you have an off-day and you can skip a guy and it lines him up for two home starts instead of one and back in Philly, or wherever it would be — I think you look at it,” Mattingly said.
