The Miami Marlins front office decided long before the start of the 2018 MLB season this would be a franchise that would live and die by its pitching staff. While the results have been a mixed bag with a young staff that has proven at times to be better than the team’s record would indicate, these young arms are still developing.
The Marlins are 24-43 after an 11-0 loss to the Pittsburgh Pirates Friday night where change-up specialist Trevor Richards was roughed up by the very pitch that has made him a Major League starter.
