Feel the Teal - The latest news, rumors, opinions and updates on the Marlins
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...]
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...]
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 to marvel at the top while the Phillies made a big move to land Oswalt in their … [Read more...]
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 game in a save situation and shut down the Nationals. Poor DC fans. They must really hate the Marlins right … [Read more...]
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 and 4 earned runs to that point while Miller gave up just 4 hits but 4 earned runs. … [Read more...]
After all the trades, free agent headlines, minor league promotions and baseball stadium debates, we're finally at the eve of what its all about....Opening Day. The Marlins can climb above .500 all time on opening day with a win against the Washington Nationals Monday, currently sitting at 8-8 all-time. Coach Fredi Gonzalez has announced his batting order for tomorrow's 4:05 start and might … [Read more...]
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. The Marlins are genuinely excited about Maybin, but he … [Read more...]
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, Cody Ross came to the plate and blasted a home run to right center and the crowd … [Read more...]

Nolasco Sent Down; Sean West Called Up
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 to do it at the minor league level. Look, I have been very suspicious of Nolasco - I … [Read more...]
