Conley didn’t factor into the decision in his most recent start September 8, when he allowed two runs on eight hits and three walks while striking out seven over 4 1/3 innings in the Marlins’ 6-4 win over the Milwaukee Brewers.

“They’re not big. I just think his command of his fastball has gotten better”, Collins said. They’ll have their three young studs on the mound: Steven Matz on Friday, Noah Syndergaard on Saturday and Matt Harvey on Sunday.
Dan Jennings has said that he is “enjoying” being the Marlins’ manager. “I think all any manager ever wants is for your team to step up and play the right way”.

Colon cruised through the first three innings and took advantage of the Marlins attacking early in the count, but they tagged him for one run in each of the fourth, fifth and sixth innings. Maybe he was on the field for the first half of the season.

Collins isn’t anxious about the playoff-like atmosphere the lefty from Long Island will experience.
