Playoff status for those not following on the weekly pitching thread:

Pawtucket/Portland/GCL/DSL - eliminated

Salem - tied for lead with 4 games to go but Salem has a more favorable schedule (Salem has four games with Lynchburg (26-39), Kinston has four games with Potomac (39-26))

Greenville - clinched home playoff (best of 3, games 2 and 3 at home)

Lowell - clinched playoff (currently, and likely to remain, the #3 seed - the tragic number for Lowell to be fixed as the #3 seed is 1)

On Matsuzaka: His pitch limit is "about 75-ish, hopefully not all in the first inning,'' Francona said.

Gotta love Francona.

Two questions:

(1) Anybody know why Mailman PH for Lin in the 3rd tonight? Injury of some sort?

(2) Expo hasn't played since Sept. 1 - Apodaca has caught the last 3 games? Something going on there?

Lowell puts up a 7 spot in the 7th, capped by a Christian Vazquez jack that juuuust cleared the left field wall.

Kalish homers in bottom of the 14th to give Portland 3-2 win. Papelbon pitches 3 scoreless, hitless innings for win.

It almost warrants it's own thread, but I'd imagine a thread dedicated to a reliever wouldn't get a ton of feedback. Nonetheless, Leandro Marin has been flat-out ridiculous lately, and has pitched very well, almost out of nowhere this season.

Last 5 Outings:

Date	IP	H	ER	BB	K
17-Aug	3	2	0	1	6
22-Aug	2.2	2	1	1	6
26-Aug	3	1	0	1	5
31-Aug	1.1	0	0	0	3
4-Sep	3	2	0	1	7

Totals:	13	7	1 (0.69 ERA)	4	27

On the year he's pitched 43.2 innings, giving up 31 H, 14ER, 1HR, and 28BB, while striking out 56 and toting a 2.89 ERA. Other than being a little wild, do we legitimately have something here?

Per Globe, Dice-K may pitch one more time in the minors (for Greenville in the playoffs).

24, one thing we have is a mistake; as I count it, Marin's recent K's add to 27 rather than the 21 in your spreadsheet. That means he was averaging about a K an inning before, 2 K's in his recent burst. I don't think this recent performance is anything but a hot streak of some kind -- overall, we have a 20-year old at Greenville with some command issues, but having a generally good season. It's so easy for relievers to fly under the radar unless they are being watched closely because of who they are (Hansen, Bard, Cox et. al.), because they just stick in individual innings here and there.

spinnersfan, I think amfox answered your question and mine above when he said "just bumps and bruises".

EvanLeplerWhy was Lin removed from tonight's game in the 2nd? Because he did not run out a pop-up and Manager Chad Epperson yanked him.

EvanLeplerLin will be back in the lineup tomorrow, playing center and leading off as usual, Epperson said.

Nothing to see here.

Thanks ASF. I'm not posing that Marin's the next likely candidate for relief ace in the big league pen, and I realize that you're not saying that either. Nonetheless, I'm sure you agree that he's having an intriguing season, after only pitching 16 professional innings between the DSL and GCL, and not coming in with very much hype. Maybe the spotty control will catch up with him next season, or maybe Salem hitters will figure out his delivery better, but I'm interested in how he performs in high-A next season.
