Feel the Teal - The latest news, rumors, opinions and updates on the Marlins
The baby Fish keep growing and getting better. We got proof today with back-to-back jacks to start the game from Cameron Maybin and Logan Morrison. It was the first time in Marlins history this was done. For LoMo, it was his first ever MLB home run and it came in his 104th AB. Congrats, Wolverine. Here's to the first of many. Dan Uggla and Gaby Sanchez also provided some muscle, doing the … [Read more...]
In a move that is probably about a month late, Cody Ross is leaving the Marlins. It was inevitable if the Fish couldn't make an upward climb in the standings and it appears that they are firmly entrenched where they are now. So, you could say it was a classy move to get Cody Ross a chance at the playoffs by putting him on waivers - and the Giants immediately picked him up. Of course, this means … [Read more...]
That's right, you know him, you love him - Ronny Paulino. He went and made a bonehead of himself and embarrassed the Fish a bit. He failed a drug test and will now serve a 50 game suspension which means he is out the rest of this season (42 games including tonight's) and 8 games of next season. Juan C. Rodriguez of the Sun-Sentinel speculates that this is his last time in a Marlins … [Read more...]
And just like that, the Fish are hitting the ball again. At 61-60, they are also back over .500. It has been a see-saw season (say that three times fast) for sure, but there are things to watch for of course. Sure, the Marlins aren't going to make the playoffs but look at it this way, the Braves will and will quickly exit in the first round like they always do (they are always a fragile team just … [Read more...]
It was a strange night where the Fish couldn't seem to avoid a rain delay - in another part of the country. There was a void at Nationals Park, too. (Both elements must have made the Marlins feel like they were at home.) There was a late night, a triple turned into a home run, and an oversized ginger kid wearing a tight Elmo shirt. No one took the bait on that one, but it does beg, should anyone … [Read more...]
You can even say he gave it two thumbs up! Check out the photo he took and placed on his Twitter account: Coghlan most likely will miss the rest of the season as a result of his accident in a game-winning celebration. The plans are for him to take over at 3B when he does return. As a natural 2B, the team feels he will make a natural transition at the hot corner. Good luck, Chris! Don't go … [Read more...]
It literally started with a bang. Hanley Ramirez blasted a home run to give the Fish the kind of start they needed to snap their now 5 game losing streak. It was also just the sort of thing Hanley needed to get something going this month after a dismal July. What nestled in between was a pitcher's duel. Josh Johnson did his best to continue his audition for the Cy Young but was gassed after 8 … [Read more...]
They get swept by their rival Phillies and now the Cardinals come to down and shut them out. Not a great way to start this series against another playoff contender and it seems as if the Marlins' hopes of getting to the postseason are dimming. Sure, there is plenty of baseball left, and there is time to win this weekend series against the Redbirds, but with a 7-0 onslaught it sure doesn't feel … [Read more...]
The big tall lefty is back as Sean West makes his 2010 big league debut tonight against the 2nd place Philadelphia Phillies. This is a pivotal game in a crucial series if the Marlins are going to continue to make a case for a spot in the postseason. Sitting at 53-52 the Fish have been making a strong push coming out of the all star break. They dealt Jorge Cantu for a couple of minor league … [Read more...]
Oh man what a deal?! C'mon, be honest, how many of you all thought that the Marlins were going to deal Cody Ross? Of course ESPN said it was going to happen, but really, what do they know? When have they ever gotten these things right? According to Joe Capozzi, there was really never a deal for Ross in place. “We wanted to try to add, so we have added to the bullpen. We believe in these … [Read more...]
