August 12, 2010 in Regular Season, The Latest by jonnylons
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 [...]

August 7, 2009 in Philadelphia Phillies Rivalry, Regular Season, Roster by jonnylons
The Marlins (that’s right, with all the vowels back in place) started off their series with the Phillies with a win. Very important because those three games they lost to the Nationals damaged their chances in the standings, but with every win against Philly the Marlins gain a game. Now at 56-53, the Marlins are at 6 games in back [...]

The Marlins placed Burke Badenhop on the 15 day DL with a “neck strain” or officially a strain of the right trapezius muscle. Might have something to do with giving up 6 runs yesterday, maybe watching all those hits go on by? Just kidding – we love the Hopper and need him back asap. In order to counter the injury, [...]

For the most part, the Nick Johnson era kicked off blissfully in Miami yesterday. The Italians have a saying, you know how the day is going to be based on its morning.

Recall, if you will, the incident that got him there – the two pitch target practice Jeff Weaver decided to take on during the game. The Hopper opted to man up and take down Orlando [...]

Today the Marlins sent Rick Vandenhurk back to AA Carolina and called up Burke Badenhop from the same minor league team. Vandenhurk really has struggled since winning a spot in the rotation out of Spring Training, being weighed down with an ERA over 11. Badenhop, however, has been pitching quite well for AA Carolina since being optioned there after his [...]

Marlins Win Heated Game With Dodgers; MLB Needs to Review Rules and Conduct
July 26, 2009 in Commentary, Regular Season by jonnylons
Bob Davidson got it flat wrong. Jeff Weaver was on the mound, faced with relieving the Dodgers in a game where the Marlins had a 8-0 lead. There was also two outs and no one on base. Hanley Ramirez stepped into the batter’s box to take a swing at some pitches – but Weaver had other plans. He threw the [...]
