Breaking down Nolasco
 

– Joe Frisaro
“I think with Ricky, he faced the same team twice,” Wiley said. “He was trying to do too much maybe with his breaking ball. He’s fine. I think it’s just a little bit of an approach. But he’s carrying out counts a little too deep. Not that he’s not getting ahead in the count, but he’s not getting that put-away pitch like he’s used to.”
“I think that’s just a matter of a touch-up here and there, and he will be fine,” Wiley said.
When his pitch count went up,Dior Sunglasses, the Marlins decided on Friday to take the 26-year-old out after four innings.
On Saturday, pitching coach Mark Wiley said physically Nolasco is fine. There is no dead-arm period, which is common for pitchers at some point.
Since Nolasco faced the Nationals on Opening Day, he has seen them twice in 10 games.
Also in that fourth inning where Lannan tacked on 10 pitches, Josh Willingham had an eight-pitch showdown with Nolasco.
“I don’t think it’s a dead-arm period, because he’s throwing 92, 91, 93, and that’s nice for him,First Walk,” Wiley said. “I’m pleased that he’s at that point. Right now, in finishing his pitches with his fastball, he’s not as good as he’s been. His location is not right.
The encouraging thing about Nolasco, who will next pitch on Wednesday at Pittsburgh, is his struggles are easily correctable. For example, sometimes he would throw three straight breaking balls,Cheap Burberry Sunglasses, with two of them crisp but maybe the third one not being.

A telling at-bat was a 10-pitch encounter with Washington pitcher John Lannan, who eventually grounded out to shortstop. Yet, that sequence left Nolasco at 87 pitches, which was enough in the eyes of manager Fredi Gonzalez.
“He can battle out of it. But his pitch count got a little bit high.”
