In a freak accident in Pittsburgh, Ricky Nolasco apparently tore his medial meniscus in his right knee. The results of the testing are still being examined, but signs point to shutting down Nolasco for the remainder of the season. The Marlins are not in contention, so they are not in need of having Nolasco out there and wouldn’t want him [...]

August 17, 2010 in Featured, Regular Season, Spotlight by jonnylons
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, [...]

July 6, 2009 in Regular Season, Starting Pitching by jonnylons
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 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 [...]

April 14, 2009 in Awards by jonnylons
Quite an opening week for the Fish as they splash their way to the best start in baseball, 5-1 but also see several of their players get nominated for NL Player of the Week. The award belongs to Josh Johnson, however, as he would put up some very nice numbers to kick off his 2009 campaign. With an ERA of [...]

June 15, 2008 in Citrus Series by jonnylons
This was probably a weekend of the best professional baseball the state of Florida has seen in its short history represented in MLB. Both the Marlins and the Rays, no longer the Devil Rays as new ownership has looked to turn the franchise around (they are in the final stages of securing funding for a new stadium, by the way), [...]

June 1, 2008 in Philadelphia Phillies Rivalry, Regular Season by jonnylons
This is what it is all about: a rivalry. Two teams with a storied history that are going toe to toe in order to claim the ultimate prize – and it is only just now turned June. The Phillies took the first game in this series, which lead them to temporarily hold the top spot in the NL East, but [...]

Double J Astounds Yankees
June 20, 2009 in Commentary, Roster by jonnylons
Josh Johnson matched AJ Burnett pitch for pitch tonight in what shaped up to be an old-fashioned pitching duel. Of course, the story line was AJ returns to Miami (with Joe Girardi, of course) to face his former team. It is quite obvious that AJ never liked the front office here – much like his current manager – yet, that [...]
