Anthony Bass News
Miami Marlins relief pitcher Anthony Bass started off the season as the team's closer but was quickly removed from the role after a horrendous start. Despite being removed from the ninth inning, Marlins manager Don Mattingly kept sending him out for the eighth inning, where Bass continued to struggle. Lately though, he's been pitching in the seventh inning and seems to have found his spot. In his last 13 outings, he's thrown 11 1/3 innings with a 0.79 ERA and a .159 opponent's batting average. He could be working his way back into holds league value.
Miami Marlins relief pitcher Anthony Bass took the loss in Sunday's game against the Milwaukee Brewers, falling to 1-3. Bass was inexplicably brought in to pitch the 10th inning, the latest of 2020 Manager of the Year Don Mattingly's head scratching bullpen decisions. Plenty of other Marlins relievers were available and rested. Bass ended up striking out two and because the run he allowed was the "placed runner" he did not have to add an earned run to his line despite pitching badly. He has a 5.40 ERA and has no business pitching in high leverage situations, but will continue to pitch in high leverage situations because of the aforementioned Don Mattingly.
Miami Marlins relief pitcher Anthony Bass had a terrible outing in Tuesday's game, facing four batters without recording an out. Bass allowed one run on two hits and a walk, but it could have been much, much worse if he hadn't been bailed out by an amazing performance from Richard Bleier. Bass left the bases loaded and Bleier came in to strike out three hitters in a row. Bass had been pitching better since being removed from the closer's role, but underlying metrics showed he was still not doing particularly well. Despite that, manager Don Mattingly has continued to give him significant innings, as this was an eighth inning appearance in a one-run game. Bass and his 6.52 ERA should be working in a low-leverage role until he can get right, but with Mattingly at the helm, we're likely to see him in another eighth inning very soon.
