We should skip all the innings up to the 9th.

Mets need a new closer ASAP. I guess Bell is available. He's a bargain. He won more game than a pitcher with ERA 1.88. Stanton is from another planet.

First pitch swing grand slam. Stanton.

Oh Lord, the Mets have also a God.

God has given him an ERA of 10.03 and some millions to his account.

Is Ozzie forced to use Bell in the 9th?

Bell is on the way to strike again. He must have done something because his ERA was about to go south of 9.00

Marlins Dead Weight Society: Inaugural Inductees: Gaby Sanchez & John Buck O Captain! My Captain! By the way, who is Marlins' team leader or captain? Is there one? I guess there is nobody this team follows or steps up when needed. 2:2

Wow. Bravo. I did not see it coming.

Good news is Santana is out. Bad news is Mets turns over games in the 7th inning. I don't want to see Bell.

Santana needed 27 pitches in the first. 3:0

Bell is warming up. (Ozzie wants to be in Miami as soon as possible)

Oh... that looked like a very intentional hit. Wise decision by Astro's manager.

Heat won. JJ settled down.

It seems that the core of team did not learn anything about adjustment in the little league and AAA. Ozzie figured it out in a few days but hasn't been able to change it yet.

I hope that they will disprove my (rather pessimistic) theory and win this game to conclude an excellent road trip today. Funny that the 2003 Marlins didn't like to play in the West coast. (Theory: The Marlins 2012 inherited the core behaviours of Marlins 2011. They have no consistency except in arranging winning and heart breaking losing streaks.)

HomeRunOrNothing vs. Astros: 2:0 so far

Broken bat homerun. Stanton is not human.

Hanley gave Cishek a huge hug after the game. Still not sure why Ozzie went to Bell in the 9th. 1-run lead man... Yes you want Heath Bell to get his groove back. No, you do not need to risk the game over it. Reading between the lines from the coverage for last night's game, having Bell close last night might not have been entirely Ozzie's decision. The front office needs Bell to work out, otherwise it's $27 million dead money (and they look foolish for signing him), so they're going to give him more opportunities than a lower paid pitcher would get. My guess is that Ozzie will use him to close unless it's a one run game (maye two). Otherwise, we'll see him again if the Marlins are losing, or winning big. I suspected the same without any proof, but how will he manage the team in the future if such a call is not his but Beinfest's?

In the 30th minute we are at the end of 3rd inning and the game is not over yet. Huge improvement. :crossfingers

HB = trying to acquire the highest ERA in baseball history? His ERA is currently 11.37 and still improving.

This feels exactly like the losing streak last season. It seems to be the same pattern but let's wait for a while.

Marlinsmasochists.com all of us I checked it. It's a free domain name. I am not surprised.
