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, [...]

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 MLB “trade deadline” sets in today at 4pm. It is a looming thing because right now, you are looking at one of the better teams since the All Star Break in the Florida Marlins. They are 10-5 during that stretch, putting them up the charts a bit. The NL East standings haven’t changed too much – the Braves continue [...]

July 20, 2010 in Regular Season by jonnylons
This is what baseball can be – a dramatic culmination built on seemingly endless tension. This is why baseball is, arguably, the perfect game because it incorporates individual accomplishment with the team concept. Individuals square off at the plate only to let the team decide how it will react. That being the case, the Rockies must have felt like they [...]

It’s been an amazing month for the Marlins offense. From matching a streak of 10 or more hits in 15 straight games – a feat unseen since the 1920′s (and for that matter, never seen on TV) to watching some amazing individual performances. Chris Coghlan and Hanley Ramirez just became the first two Marlins since 2006 to combine for 80 [...]

I know it may be a stretch at this point, but in a month or so you can point back to this blog and say, “Ahh! There’s a man of vision!” Well, that too might be a stretch, but no one can deny that Chris Coghlan is quietly putting together an impressive body of work in this his rookie campaign. [...]

August 9, 2009 in Philadelphia Phillies Rivalry, Regular Season by jonnylons
They left Washington, DC in a cloud of embarassment, frustration, and confusion. They left Philadelphia booming with confidence and sensing the urgency of the playoff push upon them – with great promise. How can a team turn things around so quickly, so suddenly? That is baseball, and in a marathon season like this, it is a series, not a game, [...]

Seems that the Marlins taking two from the Yankees is just a bit too much to bear. Joe Girardi and the Yankees officially filed a protest to dispute the outcome of the game on Sunday, FOX reports. Seems Fredi tricked himself with his moves: in the top of the 8th Chris Coghlan was slated to come out of LF for [...]

The Palm Beach Post is reporting that Ricky Nolasco is being sent down to AAA New Orleans while Sean West will be called up and make his debut being called up from AA Jacksonville. Nolasco’s ERA is at 9.07 now and the Marlins have finally realized he has to get “straightened out” and the best way to do that is [...]

Marlins had good run
September 27, 2009 in Commentary by jonnylons
Well, despite their best efforts the Fish were not able to pull off a stop into the post season. The Rockies got hot, the pitching grew cold. All in all, the Marlins put together a winning season, which is a great achievement for this franchise considering most did not give them a chance to compete. Instead of the Marlins in [...]
