Offense Goes Silent

A day after scoring 14 runs, the Miami Marlins were shut out by the San Diego Padres in a 5-0 loss.  The loss snapped a two game win streak for Miami and quieted some murmurs about an improved offense.   The loss to a fellow team with a losing record dropped the Marlins to 10-23 on the year.   Miami remains in last place in the National League East. Wade LeBlanc returned to the...

Miami Puts Up 14 Runs

The Miami Marlins’ offense has a big day on Sunday beating the Philadelphia Phillies by a final score of 14-2.   Miami scored nine runs in the first few innings and continued to add on as the game progressed.   The oddity of this outburst is Kevin Slowey was the starter and he had received the worst run support thus far.   With the ton of support, Slowey won his first game as...

Giancarlo Stanton - 15 Day DL - Hamstring

The Miami Marlins beat the New York Mets last night, but they lost Giancarlo Stanton for a while.  Stanton injured himself while running to first base, and we will not know how serious this is until he undergoes an MRI.  Stanton has struggled all season long, but was getting hot right before his injury.  He hit all 3 of his home runs in the previous series against the Cubs and...

The many failings of the 2013 MLB All-Star Ballot

It is that time of year, time for MLB to publish the All-Star ballot for our voting pleasure. Or your scrutinizing displeasure depending on who you are. While it can be fun to cast votes for your favorite players, it can also be a painful exercise due to all the annual annoyances in the ballot. For example, the good folks at MLB just can't seem to perform the simple task...

Let’s take a quick look at some of the more interesting Marlin stats: The Marlins are 4-15, good for the worst record in baseball. Justin...

The Struggles of Giancarlo Stanton

Giancarlo Stanton was on the brink of stardom and ready to challenge the world as MLB's perennial homerun champion (crushed 93 HR through his age 22 season).  However, his team (Miami Marlins) traded away the rest of the club's talent and provided him with no supporting cast. This season has been a complete waste.  He's yet to hit a homerun, and only yesterday...
