The Eleventh Start: Game 162
For the last game of the 2015 season, Adam took the mound for the Fish.
It was something special we didn't expect to happen, but we're sure glad it did. Adam pitched another quality start to finish off the season. He didn't have his overpowering fastball (for the second start in a row - he thinks he currently has "dead arm"), but he was able to minimize damage and went six innings in 75 pitches, 57 of those for strikes. He did give up two hits to the opposing pitcher...which I totally ripped him for. Ha! But other than that, I would say that Adam ended his season on a high note. And hopefully one that has the Marlins humming for (at least a portion of) the offseason :)
Adam's line against the Phillies:
6IP, 6H, 2R, 2ER, 1BB, 2K, and a ND.
He was 89-93 MPH.
His final line of the Marlins season:
4-1 with a 3.76 ERA in 11 starts and 67 innings pitched.
And one fun little stat: never once over the course of Adam's entire season, did he give up more than 4 runs in a game. I think that's something to be proud of! He also leaves the 2015 season with a selection to the AAA All-Star Game as the starting pitcher, PCL Pitcher of the Month, PCL Post-Season All-Star, and the Miami Marlins Minor League Pitcher of the Year.
Well done this season, Adam.
We are all so proud of you. So encouraged by you. And so looking forward to whatever comes next. It was one heck of a season with ups and downs and travel like never before, but you maintained such composure and diligence and the improvement just kept on snowballing. Congratulations, My Love, on a tremendous season. On setting goals and seeing them come to fruition. On fighting for a spot and finding success in that rotation. On playing with humility and giving glory to Christ through it all. Because in the end, that's what this is all about anyways. Incredible, Adam. I love you dearly and am so happy to have been able to see you thrive.
Bring it on Offseason 2015!!
We're all ready and waiting for you!
(And so is our new house down the street!!!)
We'll just be eating apples and hanging out (im)patiently until the house closes!
MAHM! What's in my mouth!
"Silly girl," he says. "That's an apple. Duh."
