Castillo's Command: Can He Truly Dominate the Marlins?

The Marlins are surprisingly respectable so far this season. In other sports you know a team will be bad and they are going to tank all season. In baseball, it seems like a team can turnaround their luck in one season. Maybe a pitcher gets really hot and the rest of them get a bit of that mojo. Hitting seems to be contagious for teams and that could be the way a team carries themselves to an unlikely postseason appearance. I don’t have any delusion that the Marlins will suddenly be good and make a postseason run – let’s face it, if they even show signs of having good players, management will just trade them away. Still, it is early and them having double digit wins already is a nice building block. To further that record is Connor Gillispie who brings a 0-2 record, 6.75 ERA, and a 1.42 WHIP into today’s game. His ERA really ballooned because he allowed eight runs to the Diamondbacks, and four to the Phillies in his last two outings. He has never faced a Mariners hitter.
