Feel the Teal - The latest news, rumors, opinions and updates on the Marlins
Mark Buehrle threw a complete-game five-hitter and pinch hitter Greg Dobbs drove in the go-ahead run to lift the Miami Marlins to their season-high fifth straight victory with a 4-1 win over the San Diego Padres on Saturday night. With a bullpen depleted due to overuse recently and closer Heath Bell getting demoted, Miami manager Ozzie Guillen was counting on Buehrle to pitch deep … [Read more...]
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...]

NEW YORK -- Shortstop Hanley Ramirez, who sprained his left shoulder diving for a bloop single in the sixth inning Tuesday, returned to South Florida on Wednesday to have an MRI performed. The Marlins said the MRI confirmed his sprain and that Ramirez remains “day-to-day.” McKeon said he thinks Ramirez will be able to return in time this weekend to play the Cardinals, who open a four-game … [Read more...]
Despite a three game losing streak, which was snapped by an 8-0 win that was a near no-hitter, the Marlins are off to their best start in franchise history. At 20-13, the Fish are off to play the division leaders, the Philadelphia Phillies, for a chance to gain ground on their two game lag behind the Phillies. "This sets the tone going into the next series," catcher John Buck said. "We were a … [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...]
It literally started with a bang. Hanley Ramirez blasted a home run to give the Fish the kind of start they needed to snap their now 5 game losing streak. It was also just the sort of thing Hanley needed to get something going this month after a dismal July. What nestled in between was a pitcher's duel. Josh Johnson did his best to continue his audition for the Cy Young but was gassed after 8 … [Read more...]
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 or more hits in a month. The last time this was done was by Miguel … [Read more...]
In the bottom of the 3rd, with a 6-1 deficit and no outs, Hanley Ramirez took a fastball off the knee from "Crazy" Carlos Zambrano which sent him to the ground writhing in pain. Hanley continued to play, but it was a situation that still needed to be examined carefully, and Emilio Bonifacio replaced Hanley. "I think it might be more muscle than bone," Fredi Gonzalez said. "I think it may be … [Read more...]

Marlins had good run
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 the celled, it is the Mets. You can't feel too bad about the Marlins … [Read more...]
