The post-deadline Marlins have been getting by with pitching. Their starters, led by Alcantara, have a league-leading 2.67 ERA since the deadline. (Their 3.64 FIP is seventh.) All five starters have ERAs of 3.46 or lower, FIPs of 4.24 or lower. Getting good work from the anonymous back end of Janson Junk, Tyler Phillips, and Ryan Gusto has been their biggest edge in the wake of season-ending injuries to Meyer, Robby Snelling, and top prospect Thomas White. That the Marlins have been able to get such good work from no-names would seem to be an endorsement of the Marlins’ decision to call pitches from the dugout, a controversial practice that is nonetheless gaining a foothold.
