Surely Rojas should have laid down a bunt to move the runners over and then pinch hit for Nicolino?!

We really haven't performed well against lesser teams this season. Maybe a tough next week against the Mets and Indians is what we need.

Would certainly be a boost to the team if we have Stanton, Bour, Conley and Chen all possibly coming back during the final week or two.

Didn't see the game - what happened to Phelps? Was it just a night with limited control/stuff?

At this stage we may well have a better chance of overtaking the Giants than the Cardinals for the second wildcard spot. Only 2 games back of SF.

Excellent pitching all round in this series

Reds have beaten the Dodgers two nights in a row so maybe we were just in Cincinnati at the wrong time as they've hit a hot streak.

Who needs Stanton and Bour when Rojas and Andino can deliver the crucial hits in the playoff race?!

Was Conley's injury actually because of a HR celebration at Wrigley?f

Can't do anything these days without someone taking it the wrong way.

The Marlins have gone 52-50 when Giancarlo Stanton hasn't played since the start of 2015; 80-97 when has has.

Frisaro tweeted earlier that Morris could be back in September.

Yes he has been garbage at times but still leads the team in HR and RBI's.

Excluding his rookie year when he was called up doing the season, Stanton has played 150, 123, 116, 145, 74 and 103 games in each year. Only 2/6 years anywhere close to playing a full season and only 73% of total games just isn't enough for someone that carries this team.

I was on such a high 10 minutes ago with that fantastic throw by Yelich. Getting a win after the terrible loss last night and injury news earlier today felt like a boost to the team to remain in contention however this Stanton news is completely deflating. Can see us bombing over the last month and a half and finishing well under .500.

Stanton out for the year. Uh oh

First pitch homer by Eaton hahahahahhahahaha. We suck.

While on first thought I tend to agree with you, his last 2 injuries before this groin issue were due to being hit with the ball which can't really be considered injury prone when it's not a muscle based problem.

He is just so injury prone. I reckon this will end up finishing his season. Every year he hits the DL.

We'll be at least 4 games back of the second wildcard spot by the end of August. This will no doubt turn into a season ending injury for Stanton who can never stay healthy for a full year.

Agreed that black and blue combo is hideous.

How can an injury that was day-to-day end up being this bad?

Cashner keeps sucking and making this trade look just awful.

Next Friday is Jose's next start.

At this stage with the team stuck in a rut and Bour remaining out for the forseeable future, I say f*ck it let's give A-Rod a shot.
