However, he has pitched exceptionally well against the Marlins with a 4-0 record and a 1.10 ERA in six starts.

His career numbers include a 15-20 record and a 5.13 ERA in parts of five seasons. The Nationals, meanwhile, will start right-hander Erick Fedde (7-9, 5.16 ERA).Ī 28-year-old native of Las Vegas, Fedde hasn’t lived up to the hype of being a first-round pick in 2014 by the Nationals. Luzardo, 23, is allowing 10.1 hits, 4.6 walks and 2.1 homers per nine innings. He has struggled with his command this season, which is his first full year in the majors. Luzardo is 0-2 with a 9.00 ERA in two career starts (both in 2021) against Washington. In nine starts since being acquired by the Marlins from the Oakland A’s just before the July 30 trade deadline, Luzardo is 3-4 with a 6.75 ERA. The Marlins on Monday are set to start lefty Jesus Luzardo (5-8, 6.80 ERA). There has to be different ways of expressing it because I don’t think it helps his strike zone.” If you react to these (umpires), it’s not going to be good. “It’s something I think he will get a handle on. “With Jazz, he has that fire and emotion, and the body language doesn’t help him with the umpire the next time out,” Mattingly said.

Chisholm has not been shy about showing his displeasure, and that has caught the attention of Marlins manager Don Mattingly. He also has shown uncommon power for someone with his rangy physique as he has blasted 15 homers.īut aside from those flashes of brilliance, Chisholm has also demonstrated some troubling body language when it comes to umpires and their strike zones. The 23-year-old Bahamas native has shown thrilling speed as evidenced by 18 doubles, four triples and 21 steals. But it also means developing emotional maturity, and the prime example of that is Marlins rookie second baseman Jazz Chisholm Jr. That means development in the fundamentals of baseball, of course. The fourth-place Marlins (63-86) are two games ahead of the last-place Nationals (61-88).īut beyond that avoiding-the-cellar narrative, the final couple of weeks of what has been a disappointing season for both franchises is also about developing young players. When the Miami Marlins open a three-game series against the visiting Washington Nationals on Monday night, both teams will be trying to not finish last in the NL East.
