Feel the Teal - The latest news, rumors, opinions and updates on the Marlins
In the bottom of the 3rd, with a 6-1 deficit and no outs, Hanley Ramirez took a fastball off the knee from "Crazy" Carlos Zambrano which sent him to the ground writhing in pain. Hanley continued to play, but it was a situation that still needed to be examined carefully, and Emilio Bonifacio replaced Hanley. "I think it might be more muscle than bone," Fredi Gonzalez said. "I think it may be … [Read more...]
Both Matt Lindstrom and Anibal Sanchez are scheduled to throw bullpen sessions on Friday, but there are different levels of expectations for both pitchers at this point. For Lindstrom, it is just a matter of getting comfortable with his delivery again as he continues his way back from the DL; Lindstrom was placed on the DL on June 24th with a right elbow strain. He has thrown already on Monday, … [Read more...]
Another day, another Cy Young opponent. After facing the Giants Lincecum and Randy "Big Unit" Johnson, the Marlins went up against Chris Carpenter last night in what would shape up to be a tough contest. The Marlins had to come from behind as Emilio Bonifacio delivered some key hits to drive in runs, tying the game 3-3 with a bloop single that went off Carpenter's glove. The real fireworks, … [Read more...]
Anibal Sanchez will get the start tonight against the Brewers as he looks to come back from a right shoulder straight. Expect him to be limited to around 80 pitches as he makes his way back off the 15 day DL. The Marlins also recalled Alejandro De Aza from AAA New Orleans. He is expected to play a reserve role off the bench and provide a little more depth. This could be a sign that perhaps … [Read more...]
The Marlins crashed back to earth tonight with a loss to the Pirates, making their record 11-2 on the year. Still, it was the injury to Andrew Miller, starting his 2nd season as a Marlin, that could prove costly. According to reports, Miller has an aggravated oblique injury that was not allowing him to keep his velocity in the 91-94 MPH range, instead having his fastball sputter along at around … [Read more...]
That's right: history, baby, pure history. The Hall of Fame is calling and they want a piece of the Marlins 2008 infield. Why? Because they are the first team ever to have their entire infield hit over 25 home runs each. And the season isn't even over yet. Mike Jacobs, Dan Uggla, Hanley Ramirez and Jorge Cantu have all climbed over that peak but are looking to shatter it now. Cantu, … [Read more...]
Kevin Gregg won't be available tonight because he has a sore right knee. Now, I know what you are thinking and so am I - perfect timing, right? Well, now who closes...Lindstrom or Nelson? … [Read more...]
Josh Willingham has officially returned from the DL. The Hammer pounded down upon the Gnats twice tonight, including a walk-off solo shot in the bottom of the 10th. That is the second walk off win for the Fish in as many days, and now the Marlins find themselves a half game back of idle Philadelphia for first place in the NL East. Hammer's smashing return couldn't have been timed any better for … [Read more...]
When the season began, many were questioning the decision to drop him into the rotation. Now, it is looking like he belongs. Andrew Miller got his 5th win of the season while pitching his most gutsy against the Mariners last night. He pitched 7 innings only striking out 2, but he scattered 6 hits and allowed only 1 run. "I think I did a good job pitching the zone other than that (fourth) … [Read more...]
They are sorely missed. The wins that were coming at the beginning of the season are starting to slip away here in the middle portion of baseball's marathon. Why? The reason is simple - when your starting pitching routinely fails to throw as many innings as your relievers, the game is going to turn upside down for you very quickly. Mark Hendrickson has seemed to fall back to earth with a short … [Read more...]
