Both Matt Lindstrom and Anibal Sanchez are scheduled to throw bullpen sessions on Friday, but there are different levels of expectations for both pitchers at this point. For Lindstrom, it is just a matter of getting comfortable with his delivery again as he continues his way back from the DL; Lindstrom was placed on the DL on June 24th with a right elbow strain. He has thrown already on Monday, … [Read more...]
Marlins Sweep Nats; Cody Ross Does it Again
April 19, 2009 By 2 Comments
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...]

He was, after all, looking like a closer in the making just a few weeks ago. Being recalled in his place is Eulogio De La Cruz. … [Read more...]

The score board read 4-0. Arizona fans must be dumbfounded because they were swept by what seem to think is their mirror image. What is more amazing, however, is the total transformation that Andrew Miller has undergone. Start calling it the Wiley-factor. Frankly, we have already propounded the Midas-like ability he has had in a Marlins uniform as a pitching coach, but this is just more … [Read more...]

Kevin Gregg is supposed to be there to give CPR and life support, but he hasn't been able to save himself let alone his team. Sure, he has 15 saves, but he also has 6 blown saves. Gregg also has … [Read more...]
