Seems that the Marlins taking two from the Yankees is just a bit too much to bear. Joe Girardi and the Yankees officially filed a protest to dispute the outcome of the game on Sunday, FOX reports. Seems Fredi tricked himself with his moves: in the top of the 8th Chris Coghlan was slated to come out of LF for Alejandro De Aza, who batted for Reynel Pinto in a double switch. De Aza never came … [Read more...]
Marlins Prepare for New Yorker Fans

This recent set of games has been a reunion of sorts. Remember back in 2003 when the Marlins defeated the Yankee$ in 6 games to take the whole enchilada? That's ok, no one in the media seems to remember either - and why would they? There is no one left from that team that is still on the Marlins. Mike Lowell, Josh Beckett and Brad Penny (huh?) are now all on the Red Sox. We just ran into them … [Read more...]
Just Plain Ugly

Taking a closer look at the numbers, Dan Uggla might not be as productive as some fans might think. Sure, we love the guy's hard-nosed plays and his sky cracking home runs, but the Marlins can't afford (and with Uggla making $5.35 million this year) to have inefficient players in the lineup. Warning: What you are about to read may disturb you! Now, those are the raw stats crunched by our … [Read more...]

Got the Red Sox in front of us getting to .500. Well,they are throwing out legend Wakefield while we have Volstad - who has struggled lately # @camdoug1 The real question is, how did Rossi not stay and play here in the States? We should egg his house! in reply to camdoug1 # Double for Cantu. Which makes him the Checker's Double of the Game by default. # Did Wakefield grow a gut this … [Read more...]
How Long Until Gaby Sanchez Arrives at Thirdbase?
June 16, 2009 By 2 Comments
Gaby Sanchez left the University of Miami as a firstbaseman, but now is facing his professional future at another position: thirdbase. Every beat writer has been latching on to this story and its possibility, but our own MarlinAddict kind of put the observation out there first. Since he came back from injury, Gaby Sanchez has been playing third base and continuing to hit. Right now against … [Read more...]

JJ comes back and gets an easy 5th. Good bounce back for the kid. # @Joeyricard I just preordered mine, too! Muhahhahahaa!!! in reply to Joeyricard # Bayhurst plunks Hanley . That's two Marlin hitters hit today by Bayhurst. He's done. # So runners on 1st and 3rd with 2 outs. Would like to see an add on run here. # Jessie Carlson in to relieve for BJays - going up against Hermida. Last … [Read more...]

Double J Astounds Yankees
Josh Johnson matched AJ Burnett pitch for pitch tonight in what shaped up to be an old-fashioned pitching duel. Of course, the story line was AJ returns to Miami (with Joe Girardi, of course) to face his former team. It is quite obvious that AJ never liked the front office here - much like his current manager - yet, that is beside the point. JJ got the win while only allowing run run in 7 … [Read more...]
