He had a 5.79 ERA and 1.37 WHIP in april last year. I guess he's one of those pitchers that sux at the start of the season.

I've been watching the entire game from the opening pitch. Nolasco hasn't looked great, but he's also getting a raw deal.

1) The manager had him intentionally walk Brandon Moss twice. Brandon freaking Moss!
2) FLA defense has got to be the worst in MLB. Please go back and watch the archive of this game on mlb.com and tell me if you think it's Nolasco struggling or the Marlins defense letting him down. On that note, Maybin and Ramirez have got to be in the bottom 5 at their respective positions in terms of fielding. Very frustrating.

The Roach is 4-4 today.

ugh, the outcome I least desired... at least maholm got a win

Yeah, I'm in exactly the same boat At least my H2H opponent started Scott Baker

I targetted Nolasco in all my leagues, so I'm a bit underwhelmed (especially considering his relatively easy schedule so far). Didn't really follow him before, so I hope the words of optimism (slow starter, unlucky, dumb manager) hold true.
