Feel the Teal - The latest news, rumors, opinions and updates on the Marlins
In many ways the game started appropriately - Anibal Sanchez looked very hittable and gave up 2 runs in the first inning. It looked like he was going to dominate, then all of a sudden he fell apart. Next thing you know, he gets a strikeout to escape the first without any further damage. At that point, it was looking like ugly loss #7 in a row was rearing its ugly head. No one would have … [Read more...]
He's on fire. Anibal Sanchez now has a 3-0 record with a 1.83 ERA in his last six starts, including a 1-0 result this afternoon in Washington. Sanchez was spectacular, striking out 9, and helping push his team forward with another win over their cheeky NL East rivals. Meanwhile the Braves, who had been silently climbing up to meet the Marlins, lost today. The lone run on offense in this game … [Read more...]
The Marlins were a hot teaming coming into this series but struggled with their pitching and lost two games in a row to a team they normally play big brother over. Who knew it was Anibal Sanchez's mother that would provide the fuel for a near no-hitter as his son took the mound this afternoon. Sanchez struck out 11 batters as the Fish avoided the sweep and took the third game in what was a … [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...]
So how do you respond after winning 4 games in a row? You lose 4 in a row. This team is just not ready to make a play for anything this season. The staff has been overturned, the roster churned, and now, the team seems to be flat. It isn't like they don't have exciting young players - Mike Stanton, Logan Morrison, Gaby Sanchez all play the game the right way. They have talent, they can hit. … [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...]
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 announced Sunday that left-handed pitcher John Koronka would be called up to face lefty, Manny Parra in the opening game against the Brewers, after right-handed pitcher Anibal Sanchez left the game during the 5th inning against the Braves on May 7th because of some sort of pain he felt in his right shoulder, only to find out that he would be placed on DL. Sanchez, after leaving the … [Read more...]
Expect the Marlins to be buyers this season before the July 31st trade deadline. Just don't expect them to make any big moves. Jayson Stark even speculates that the Marlins will be buyers. For anyone at BSPN to speculate as such means it is bordering on the obvious and predictable - so you can bank on that. But you can't bank on the Marlins trading prospects away for a big name. Won't happen. … [Read more...]

Why Not Trade for Jake Peavy?
According to the latest reports, it is looking like San Diego ace Jake Peavy is staying put in sunny southern California. There is a deal on the table from the White Sox to acquire the righty but rumors are Peavy wants to stay in the National League. 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...]
