As recent as Friday afternoon, and prior to the game on Saturday, his start was being touted as the most important of the season for him. “I think [this start] is very important for Javi, but I think it’s more important for us, the Florida Marlins,’’ manager Edwin Rodriguez said Friday. Javier Vazquez has not, as of yet, delivered on the $7M contract [...]

In order to make way for Billy Wagner, the Boston Red Sox released Brad Penny. Yes, I know – I was the guy who was rooting for the Marlins to real in Smoltz, too. Didn’t happen. But with the Marlins itching to find consistency in their rotation, and really on the brink of contention for the post season, Penny may [...]

The Florida Marlins were swept earlier in the year by the Pirates in a three game series. In fact, it seemed to set the tone for the Marlins early on in the season as they spiraled downward after starting the season 11-1. The Pirates, however, were a different team then featuring Nate McClouth – who has since been traded to [...]

As everyone knows, I am a big Kyle Kaminska fan. The kid is all of 19 years old and was a 27th round pick, yet still started 2008…his second professional year…at high A Jupiter in the Florida State League. And granted, while it wasn’t pretty he showed alot of promise in his first start. And the struggles continued after a [...]

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 [...]

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. [...]

Let’s face it, this is nothing short of biblical. Right now, the Marlins starting staff is churning out impressive outing after impressive outing. It may not be the kind of starts that will get on ESPN – a rare feat for the Fish to get on ESPN to begin with – but they are the kind of starts a winning [...]

Prepare to be shocked. Over the last 5 starts, the Marlins not only have won games but their starting pitching has been phenomenal. In turn, this has enabled the bullpen to solidify and get back to normal. Look at the numbers, it is quite encouraging and if the Marlins staff can keep this up, who knows how far this team [...]

According to scouts, Ricky Nolasco is hitting the numbers on the radar gun that are impressive. Several times he hit the 95 mark on the gun with his fastball, and his curve was maintaining good velocity in the mid 80′s. Yet in 4.2 innings last night, he gave up 10 hits and 6 earned runs. The problem is his location. [...]

Marlins Sweep DBacks
May 22, 2008 in Coaching Staff, Commentary, Marlins History, Media Coverage, Players, Relief Pitching, Starting Pitching by jonnylons
The score board read 4-0. Arizona fans must be dumbfounded because they were swept by what seem to think is their mirror image. What is more amazing, however, is the total transformation that Andrew Miller has undergone. Start calling it the Wiley-factor. Frankly, we have already propounded the Midas-like ability he has had in a Marlins uniform as a pitching [...]
