Renyel Pinto has been a staple in the Marlins bullpen since coming over from the Chicago Cubs in 2006. In that time, he has not endeared himself to faithful Marlins fans due to his roller-coaster, up-and-down pitching performance. I’ve always shared this sentiment myself, as I could never stand Pinto’s inability to put pitches in [...]

According to Joe Frisaro of MLB.com, the Florida Marlins have designated left-handed pitcher Renyel Pinto. In Pinto’s place, the team has recalled right-handed pitcher Tim Wood from Triple-A New Orleans. Pinto posted a 2.70 ERA with 16 strikeouts and nine walks in 20 games this season. He pitched the ninth inning against the Texas Rangers tonight and gave up a home run to Josh Hamilton.

The Marlins designated Renyel Pinto for assignment. Some team will pick him up since he still strikes out about a batter per inning. Maybe there’s a pitching coach who can get his walks under control. He does hold a 2.70 ERA this year and 3.62 for his career. I wonder if there’s something deeper (like personality issues) to the release. Even if he doesn’t play...

It might not be a stretch to say Pinto was one of the most dispised players in franchise history...

With Andrew Miller officially to start the season in Triple-A, the Marlins will head into Opening Day without any left-handed starters in their rotation.

Give Pinto credit for two scoreless innings Tuesday. The criticism is warranted. The relief staff has allowed 29 hits and walked 18 in 30 innings with a 4.80 ERA...

Renyel Pinto didn't sleep well Wednesday. After contributing to a bullpen meltdown that almost cost the Marlins the game, the lefty reliever said he tossed and turned in bed thinking about what went wrong.

The core of this Marlins team has been together since 2006 and while they've put together a winning record in two of the four seasons, they still have not created any substantial attendance numbers.
