Dan Straily’s bullpen sessions prior to a start aren’t typically a pretty sight.
"[If you saw them] you’d wonder if I should be starting the game," Straily said. "They’re all terrible. I’ve learned I’m just getting loose out there. I never really read into it."
Straily said his bullpen tosses before Saturday’s game at Petco Park were "all over the place like normal."
Not long after he took the mound, however, Straily barely missed the strike zone.
Straily delivered what he called likely the best start of his career, finishing with a career-best 14 strikeouts in a game the Marlins eventually won 6-3 in 11 innings.
