Jamie Moyer, who owns the Marlins, is pitching for the Phillies. It just gets tougher for the Fish. # Well, Helms got ripped off on that call. I am sorry, but he ain't that slow. And Rollins' arm isn't that strong. # Nice - Rollins gets thrown out on a crazy 3 to 1 to 2 to 6 out at second base. # Marlins sporting the red hats by the way for Memorial Day. First pink bats, and now red hats. … [Read more...]

Since their 11-1 start, the Marlins have gone 8-24. Not a good sign for a team that was looking to take another step this year. # @JCRMarlinsbeat They should. Really, Presley should - the offense has been horrible under his watch. Lots of K's, little contact. in reply to JCRMarlinsbeat # Powered by Twitter Tools. … [Read more...]

A win tonight would be nice. in reply to JROstermayer # My uncontrollable cough is making me delusional but West has a nice cut up there. # Bonifacio's defense is highly … [Read more...]
Sean West Offers Something Marlins Need
May 23, 2009 By Leave a Comment
Sean West is going to make his debut start today against the suddenly unstoppable Rays but he will offer the Marlins something they need more of - pitching that can generate outs without relying on defense. Basically, he can strike out hitters. At 6'8" with a mid 90's fastball, West has been seen as a big part of the Marlins future. Currently at AA Jacksonville he has shown that he can … [Read more...]

May 23, 2009 By 1 Comment
The Palm Beach Post is reporting that Ricky Nolasco is being sent down to AAA New Orleans while Sean West will be called up and make his debut being called up from AA Jacksonville. Nolasco's ERA is at 9.07 now and the Marlins have finally realized he has to get "straightened out" and the best way to do that is to do it at the minor league level. Look, I have been very suspicious of Nolasco - I … [Read more...]

Uggla goes opposite field? What's the occasion? # Cody...ground out. Dang.

Peavy, the 2007 Cy Young winner who turns 28 later this month, is being moved so the Padres can recoup financially. With 99 losses last year, … [Read more...]

Holy crap - de Aza's back? # Just tuning in here...see the Marlins have a 7-6 lead. # And Paulino gets thrown out in a run down between 3B and home. # Wouldn't a Helms extra base hit be great right about now? # Right at the center field camera for a base hit. Two score, Marlins go up 9-6 now. Great job Helmet! # Sorry, I can't count. Only one run scores on Helmet's single. # Lindstrom in to … [Read more...]

With a 1-0 lead after three, the Marlins get rained out. # Coghlan's first career triple also will be washed out. Double header tomorrow...gives me an idea. # Can't wait for that new stadium with a dome...less double headers though. That is the trade off. # Marlins got a game tonight, and the double header tomorrow # Gametime tomorrow starts at 5:10pm. One ticket, two games! # @camdoug1 Is … [Read more...]
