One start in, all is well for Charlie Morton in 2015. The ground balls were there and everything else followed:
After a bit of a shaky first inning (he was slow to cover first on the first play of the game, which ended up costing him a fun), Morton looked sharp. The Marlins are bad (aside from Giancarlo Stanton, who homered – no big deal), but you couldn’t have asked for much more from Charlie. He was consistently 90-92 with the fastball, stayed ahead of hitters, didn’t walk or hit anybody, and – of course – got a ton of ground balls, including two big double plays.
