I don't know. He is such a streaky hitter. His average is currently .291. Its possible, but he's trending in the opposite direction right now.

This is really just an awesome thing to see and remember for future reference. BTW, JACOBS JUST HIT 25!

Ausmus > Lo Duca Erick = Crazy

If the Marlins continue to struggle with men LOB, RISP and just the failure to score runs, it could be nothing but golf in the fall for the Fish. The problem is not LOB, RISP, etc. It's the fact the team doesn't get many situations, b/c they don't get on base enough. Every team leaves men on base. Our hitters just aren't patient, and when they decide to be patient...they stay looking at strike 3. They'll get out of it, soon. The hitters led the way in the 1st half. The pitching has been excellent in the 2nd half. Hopefully, both get together and combine with each other to get hot later on in the year. Not worried. Are you kidding me? Get worried. At this point not even one of your blockbuster songs or overly optimistic rally posts could help this lineup. Hitting with RISP is a main problem.

How did that first and seconde pitch even look attractive to Dan. Then he doesnt swing at the strike Dan Uggla's life story

Wright homers on an 0-2 count man!!!! COME ON. LEARN TO FINISH AT-BATS. Wright came in hitting .500 against him. I don't give a sh*t. When you are up 0-2, good pitchers get outs.

Wright homers on an 0-2 count man!!!! COME ON. LEARN TO FINISH AT-BATS.

In September, he'll just be one more option off the bench to (hopefully) provide quality at-bats pinch hitting.

volstad is the sh*t!!! PBG in the house!!!

WHOOOO MY BOY!!!

It has to be Beinfest. Both were ordered to clear payroll. Beinfest has managed to develop young players and compete. The darkest of Marlins teams were with Dombrowski's developing players.

What is going on with this board? There is alot of wannabe elitist fan garbage going on. The guy had a question and needed some help with it. Some of you on here have gotten extremely critical of people posting on here. Why dont you help him if you know the answer instead of telling him to look it up himself? It is an interesting topic and I would like to know the answer as well and wouldnt have the first inclination as to where to look. Just an observation but some of you people on here have progressively become more and more arrogant as your post number has increased. We are all fans and, contrary to popular belief, post number doesnt mean anything. I can post poop and pee jokes in the outfield thread and get 10000 posts. (not implying that you, marlins2003, posted poop and pee jokes to get to 10000+ posts. normally i agree with you on your comments. This time it was your post that sent me over the edge) :notworthy :notworthy :notworthy :notworthy :notworthy :notworthy

I don't understand the people who want every manager to be Lou Piniella. It's probably people who can't control their own emotions; so they need to see the manager go nuts to feel vindicated. Your s/n is Psycho Sid. You remember that guy. The poster boy for inability to control your emotions.

jsprt I agree, to a certain extent, if I was a manager I would get really pissed often but I think in this case Fredi wasn't sure and there is no reason to go crazy unless you know for sure. I'd have to say most managers disagree with you.

Perhaps b/c he could not see it. Also, you do realize...whether he stays calm or goes crazy...the call won't change. Of course I realize that, thanks for bringing that into question though. Its just about Fredi's passion man. Get pissed sometimes man. Your allowed to.

He probably couldn't see it. He doesn't have a TV down there. I would agree. But if my 3rd baseman is overly confident that it was foul, I'm believing him.

whoops

This is getting ridiculous. That Victorino ball was foul. We all know it. Jorge Cantu is over there pleading with the umps, then explaining the whole thing to Fredi. And what does our lovely manager do???? Watches the crew get together, officially decide it was a home run, and then calmly walk back to the dug out. ARE YOU F@CKING KIDDING ME???? THERE IS NO REASON WHY FREDI SHOULDN'T BE AS IRATE AS I AM ABOUT THAT CALL. HE SHOULD HAVE BEEN IN THAT UMP'S FACE. GET TOSSED, WHO CARES??? AT THIS POINT I'D RATHER HAVE TOSCA MANAGE THE BULLPEN ANYWAY!!! JEEEZ

Nolasco Olsen (We need a lefty starting potentially 2 games IMO) Johnson Sanchez a close 4th.

A month ago, I would have said the Wild Card was unattainable because of the beasts of the NL Central. Now, it is easily attainable IMO. A month ago, I would have said the NL East title was attainable because of the inconsistencies of the Mets and Phillies. Now, unless we can somehow slow the Phillies, it does not seem so realistic. So I'm going with the Wild Card, which hasn't hurt our chances in the past.

You read this article and it really makes you happy Ramirez isn't here, its all about the $$'s These days, thats what baseball is all about.

Yikes. I hate to question Beinfest, but its hard not to right now.

Gotta be Treanor. For de facto reasons as well.

"One high-level Red Sox official said he expected Manny Ramirez would end up with the Marlins, but the Marlins backed off Wednesday night and were justified asking for an additional $2 million (on top of paying Ramirez's salary) to cover salaries of the compensatory draft picks Florida would get for losing Ramirez to free agency this winter. Plus, Florida's refusal to include outfielder Mike Stanton -- who leads his Single A league with 27 homers -- helped kill the deal" Miami Herald
