Feel the Teal - The latest news, rumors, opinions and updates on the Marlins
No way of getting around it, Leo Nunez just plain sucks. Sure, the kid is young, has a decent fastball and 29 saves. Problem is, he is no where near a consistent closer and every save opportunity he gets is a thrill ride - and not a fun one where you get off buzzin' but instead the kind where you get off and puke and wonder why your back hurts. You want your mommy and you cry and want your … [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...]
Sweet delectable justice served with a fist. That is what we like to see. And in this tight NL East race for 2nd place - as the Phillies laugh and pull away - nothing is sweeter than what occured last night. You've probably seen the highlights by now. If not, go to Florida Marlins.com and watch it. Like 5 times. Ross Gload comes to the plate in the ultimate drama - his team is down 3-2 after … [Read more...]
The Florida Marlins were swept earlier in the year by the Pirates in a three game series. In fact, it seemed to set the tone for the Marlins early on in the season as they spiraled downward after starting the season 11-1. The Pirates, however, were a different team then featuring Nate McClouth - who has since been traded to the Braves. Still, the scrappy Pirates proved to be tough in this home … [Read more...]
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 Alejandro De Aza, who batted for Reynel Pinto in a double switch. De Aza never came … [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...]
And the offseason is underway. The Rays lose to the Phillies in 5 games, a bit of a shocker in my opinion, and with that, the offseason is official. Now the Marlins have to look to find a way to compete against the new world champions, the Phillies. Just raises the stakes a bit. The Marlins had been long rumored to deal Mike Jacobs and today they traded away the left handed power hitting … [Read more...]
