  1. Oh we've had many. But what you wanna give up? All this losing is insane. and its not just losing - its losing when you have talent and losing when your pitchers allow 2 hits. If we dont do anything, we are in the same sh*t hole. I aint givin up on the fish but this has gotta turn now or the Cubs will have it their way. Period. And the only time we can realize if leaving him on the team was the right move will be in the offseason. :banghead
  2. He should be batting 1000 lol. I just happened to make that observation this past couple days. Only thing im trying to say is that pitchers can see that he may chase that outside slider and miss. I mean he does strike out a lot. Anyways my main point is we got the talent on this ball club we now have to turn the 'on' button on (in other words fire billy) *104 Ks for Miggy
  3. Fire Bill Robinson. First off you gotta understand this: There are 27 outs/9 innings in a ball game. I know an ump can give you a bad call or two like today but you know what you do have other chances. I am glad Lo Duca gave that freakin ump a piece of his mind but you know what this game wasnt supposed to be like this. Carpenter was out early people-normally in these occasions the opponents feast on the relievers. Sure we got Lo Duca and Mota, but there are 9 batters in a line up and the closer comes in in the 9th. Fire Bill Robinson. Now. You saw what happened to the Mets. Maybe this could also be a wakeup call for the hitters to change their approach at the plate. Swing at pitches down the middle if you see your offense is slumping. Another thing - i see Cabs is too far outside the plate. Pitchers are getting him to chase sliders outside the zone. Did Billy notice this? The point is we must do something. Now. Before we're 10 out.
  4. Someone here asked how much Grimsleys salary was: $1,000,000 (ESPN) Currently 3-2, 3.22 ERA. And i agree with you guys to get Beltran and keep him for a while. As for the outfield arrangement, you can have Conine spend time at first from time to time. Either way i wouldnt expect a trade like this for now

    Evenin fellas. Im a big Marlin fan here and i must say you guys got a great site. Ill try not sound like im complaining here, but merely stating the obvious. I think Castro is in a slump for now, maybe the pressure of having runners on (think about it, he has been a pinch hitter in the past and hasnt been in so many positions like these.) Besides we have Redmond...i wouldnt worry bout the cather spot for now. Alex though is not in a mini-slump. Hes been struggling since the playoffs. He is so impatient at the plate, his mechanics are wrong..etc. I just love his defense but i'd prefer a good offensive SS than a bad one any day. But what bothers me the most is this - we are paying Gonzo $2,800,000 to bat below .200 and strike out 23 times and counting. He hasnt really shown signs of improvement either (1 of 2 HR were hit at Coors..so..) If he keeps struggling perhaps the Marlins should: 1.send Easley to short 2.Bring up Wilson Valdez (?) 3.trade him, maybe package him with Castro and a minor leaguer for a solid shortstop or Jason Kendall and minor leaguer, moving either Valdez or Easley to short. I dont know, just my suggestion. Lets hope Alex and Ramon can improve though. Go Fish
