Cody Ross Waived; Cameron Maybin Era Begins

August 22, 2010 in Featured, Regular Season, Roster, The Latest by jonnylons

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 [...]

Houston…We Have a Problemo…Marlins Beat Astros 9-0

August 20, 2010 in Regular Season, The Latest by jonnylons

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 [...]

Would Trading Cody Ross Be A Mistake?

July 31, 2010 in Rumors by jonnylons

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 [...]

Nolasco Sent Down; Sean West Called Up

May 23, 2009 in Commentary, Players, Roster by jonnylons

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 Sweep Nats; Cody Ross Does it Again

April 19, 2009 in Regular Season by jonnylons

We got to find a good nickname for Cody Ross. The guy is having an unbelievable start to the 2009 season. Today Ross goes 3/4 with a home run in the 8th inning and a 3-run double to untie the game in the top of the 9th. The runs lead to the Heat’s 11th win as Matt Lindstrom entered the [...]

Marlins Beat Braves; Own Best Record in MLB

April 15, 2009 in Regular Season by jonnylons

Andrew Miller started tonight against the Braves’ ace, Derek Lowe but it was Miller who would scrape by tonight. For his first start of the season, Miller was sitting pretty with a 4-1 lead in the 5th inning, but gave up the equalizer to leave the game after 4.2 innings with a tie 4-4. Lowe had given up 7 hits [...]

Jacque Jones Sent Down – What This Means for Marlins

June 11, 2008 in Roster by jonnylons

Not so fast, my friends. Yes, Jacque Jones was designated for assignment – which means every GM in baseball has already been alerted and he will be faced with a ticket to AAA Alburquerque. This does not mean, however, that the Marlins are going to call up Cameron Maybin. (See Cameron Maybin’s stats.) Or at least it shouldn’t mean that. [...]

Cody Ross Hits Walk Off; Ex-Reds Sting Reds

June 8, 2008 in Regular Season by jonnylons

What a dramatic win for the Florida Marlins. Lost in their worst stretch of baseball this season, the Marlins were looking at yet another blown game. They had a 4-0 lead and watched it whither away. They took a 5-4 lead and watch that turn into a 7-6 deficit heading into the bottom of the 9th. But with 2 outs, [...]
