Hanley is Clutch

good hit hanley just to hard lol

These next few games will decide our season i think so lets go 2 out of three atleast or a sweep will be nice! LEST GO MARLINSSSSSSSSSSS. I wanna see a gem out of josh! sh*t!!!!!!! there is only 3 games left in the season???? WHY DIDN'T ANYONE TELL ME!!!! Your so ignorant and dont understand anything, if the marlins lose the next 3 they will be fighting 3 or games behind and will have no momentum,so yes this is a big series starting today, why you think the mets and phillies series was so big with so many games left, your an asshole and thats that! I think if we win the next 3 we will build momentum for the next series and maybe be tied or 1 game out coming out of this series. Wow your an idiot!

i say marlins win today 5-3 lets go!!

did you guys just hear why derosa caught that ball because of a mistake reed johnson told him something but he thoght me meant to move over a couple steps towards center hahahahah lol i hate my life

Maybin is contributing in AA, as Willingham is contributing in MLB. Hammer was hitting over .300 before he re-aggravated his back. He missed a couple months. He's struggling. But you have to trust that a proven player will pick it back up...Maybin hasn't developed into a MLB caliber player yet, and you don't screw up a 21 year olds' development like that. There's no need to, really. Okay i know that but he jus doesnt look comfortable and you know his back still hurts and he aint even helping defensivly, We aint got time for him to find his way we need to win now if we want any chance! Are you telling me your more worried about jacobs then willingham, and i aint saying to bring him up i was just wondering if anybody had info on him or if they were thinking about bringing him up, I really like josh but hes hurt and he aint gonna contribute as much as he did. I think mike jacobs will contribute alot more then JOSH What would you like him to do, defensively? Catch the balls hit to RF? He makes the routine plays. Sure he's not the GREATEST out there, but he's a lot better than Gonzo. You don't screw up a 21 year olds' development. That's just dumb. Maybin hasn't done much this year, to prove he belongs. He's no Dallas McPherson right now. The only thing we should be complaining about is the 1B scenario. The LF scenario will stay this way, the rest of the year. BTW, we're not getting Holliday.

sh hasn't been doing great but only replacement i see for him is if we trade for good LF if not we keep him there but no maybin no lf I love josh but he aint the answer this year and luis gonzalez is not gonna hold up all year we need options!

Does anyone have any updates about him and are we gonna call him up this year. I know cody has been plaing great out there but what about puting him left field for josh willingham whos just waisting space out there. I am sorry but i dont see josh helping us the rest of the year the back really messes him up!

I really don't have anything to add to this thread. Rab said it all. I'd also like to THANK Hanley Ramirez for not being a douchebag like the SS in NY (Jose Reyes). At least Hanley doesn't act like an ass in the middle of a ballgame, dancing like a clown after his team scores runs...OUTSIDE OF THE DUGOUT, if I might add. i second that!

Better hiting and we should be fine!

I'm really not sure how you could call a guy lazy for what you are claiming. First, you call him lazy for being bad in 3-2 counts, either taking a pitch or swinging at a pitch in the dirt. He actually is OPSing .918 in full counts. Would you like to know why he takes so many pitches in a full count? Because they generally throw him crap. That's why has a .431 OBP in that situation, because they don't really give him pitches to hit. And as far as his defense being lazy...no, it isn't. His problem defensively comes from being bad on the transfer from glove to hand. He'll generally hustles very hard, which is why he is 6th in OOZ (Out Of Zone) plays and 5th in RZR(Revised Zone Rating) at shortstop in the league. Lazy is more what Miguel Cabera was, where he would try very little on routine plays because he didn't care. So that is my rebuttal, none of that stuff you talked about shows laziness. they throw him crap and he knows he should draw walks instead of swing for crap. Trust me this gu is the best player in the league by far, i know he can be better then the way he is playing, i know everyone here agree's with me, he has not normal talent but he gets a lil tired i guess if you wanna call it that,but he needs to approach every at bat a lil better! He does draw walks. He has a beautiful OBP. Oh, and do you know why he swings at the first pitch? .529/.537/1.157. That's right, he has a 1.694 OPS on the first pitch! He gets on-base MORE than half the time! League average is .881 OPS...he does almost double that! It has nothing to do with "being lazy because he doesn't want to wait for the good stuff", it is because he kills when he gets those first pitches. You guys gotto understand he is considered the best player in the league and yes he has gret #'s whe could talk about his numbers all day but he 17 errors and strike's out alot thats not gonna win you games especially being the lead off hitter. We all know he's better defendert then tha and we all know he's a better hitter then that maybe its not lazy but its something! I am telling you i watch every single game of his since he been in the league. Okay why he dont adjust to the pitcher and start hiting those dam outside pitches and make them pay for those pitches . awhen he gets pump up he's a better hitter, like when when he hit those 2 home runs in consecitive nights in the 9th inning and tied the game, those where both bad counts for him but he was pumped, okay last night he got a lil aggravated with gonzalez the pitcher last night in the 9th, He ended up geting out but he stung that ball. What i am tryig to say is he gets a lil lazy sometimes and dont care just sometimes, and we have to call it lazy but hes better then the way he's playing right now and we all know that! Soryy guys for this thread and if i got any of you lil mad!

I think if hanley starts hiting then the whole team will start hiting! He needs to be the anchor and he aint doing it right now,but last night kinda aggravated me when they couldnt bring him in from 3rd that was probaly frustrating for hm!

I think this is ridiculous but others agree with you. This morning Sid Rosenberg had Jason Starks on and one of the two morons (forget which.. maybe both) said Hanley is lazy. i am not knocking him its just i know he has more potential them what he is doing right now and he dont even have a rbi yet to open the second half, come on man the only way we win the division if he starts hiting and trying not to hit everything out !

Thank god i am not the only one that thinks that. Because like you said he has the potential to be really good if he just stops trying to hit homeruns! jesus christ it looks like everyone swings for the fences! We need good hiting right now and the only two guys that go opposite field is toy cannon ross and wes helms are the only guys that think opposite field we need better hitting we all know they can hit homers but we consecitive hits! Come on guys !

this may cause some controversy but im gonna say: Kevin Gregg Why? He has 6 wins, 20 saves and a 2.49 ERA. Other than a couple of bad games in Colorado he has only allowed 3 runs in June + July. And he showed great bouncebackability after Denver with 5 saves in the next week. Yes he walks too many. Yes he makes things far too nerve-wracking at times. But more often that not he does his job and that is closing out games. good post dude and nobody realize's that because he does make life dificult but he does do the job!!

I hate to knock on my favorite player in any sport today but i have to. I have watched every single game this year from start to finish and i think he plays lazy. Why you ask okay here comes..... well he swings at the first pitch alot because he dont wanna see the pitchers best stuff and work The count LAZY... on almost every 3-2 count he either lets the pitch go or he swing for a ball in the dirt. what i am saying is this guy gets to lazy to be a lead off guy and he needs to understand that he will so many more rbi's if he moves up but he cant hit in that spot because its mind thing i guess. Defense he has so many lil tiny error's not because he cant play dee but hedont care to be a good defender and he gets lazy out there. What i am trying to tell you is he is very lazy player its kinda starting to aggravate me alot, since i watch every thing he does. I know he's young and he will probaly change but we will not do anything this year unless he makes a good example out there to every other player, because he's the francise guy and if he's playing bad then everybody else thinks it's okay. So come on Hanley pick it up and be the leader We Need you. ! more thing anybody know why the marlins made a push lastnight in the 9th because there was no pressure on them and was swinging with confidence because they had nothing to loose and they didnt care.

The people here do go to games. The problem is the rest of the people. We dont need to be reminded about attending, the rest of SoFla does Maybe you did not read correctly,i just asked why no one goes to the games and why a new stadium would change that! I live in atl and always see the marlins with 15 to 20 thousand and there empty, I did live in miami my whole up until 4 years ago and i just dont know why know one comes to the games! maybe in south florida theres a buzz about why people are not coming! Just what we need, someone who doesnt live here wondering why OTHERS dont go to games. I know you lived here but if you are truthful, how many games did you go to while you were here? Yea right, 80 games a year for 10 years. Enjoy Atlanta, regardless of ticket sales, plenty of games where you will be able to sit in a section all by yourself, and if they get worse, you will be by yourself. Old, beaten to death subject. Well your a real nice guy, and yes i was a season ticket holder from 98 to 04 and what does that mean i still visit my family every other month there and i go to every game i canwhen i am there so dont test my love for the team and the city! buddy you need to relax and take a chill dude!

Fredi said no on Ryan Tucker, he doesn;t want to "yo-yo" him. I think it'll be Hendrickson since Waechter has been pitching a lot recently. I hate hendrickson he gives you solid 4 to 5 innings then out of no where he gives up 3 4 runs quickly! if he does start he leaves after 5 even if he gives up no runs they will peace it together i hope freddi does the right thing and piece that game together! every game now is critical!

I would love to see alot more people appreciate the marlins and what these young guy's are doing this season it's bee so much fun so far and it only looks like it's gonna get better. I wish more people would come and cheer them on, instead 10000 srceaming we need 40000 screaming. I just went to a game and it was so horrible and i am very aggravated about it. Maybe thats where the marlins get there motivation from. LETS GO FISH!!!

I just dont understand why there is not more people going to the games, we are in a pennant race what is going on i cant believe this and why would a stadium change that?

Trades take awhile to assess, but for all the troubles D-train is having I think that in a couple of years the Marlins will look like winners in this deal. As for the players you've stated have sucked most should be at AA, yet Badenhop and De La Cruz have both been in the Show this season. Give this trade a little more time . I'm definitely not questioning the trade, I'm just curious what's the deal with these other guys. It just seems as though these other guys were throw-ins. Rabelo is 28 and seems to have 0 value. Badenhop looks useless. De La Cruz seems like he has potential and I don't know much about Trahern the kid is in his low twenties and has tons of potential. You call him useless? C'mon man that is just a dumb thing to say for anyone who claims they know anything about baseball. Both of you's are really not paying attension, come on guys talk about how are team is playing and actually having a great chance at the playoffs this year, i watch every game this and alot of triple1 games, The trade was really for maybin and miller anybody else was just prospects okay so let it go if one of them become really good then we stole them, but badenhop will be good and miller and maybin! Let it go guys GO MARLINS!! s in, thus far he hasn't shown much potential. At the major league level, he looked overmatched. He's almost 26 so he's a bit older than the the other pitchers in the trade. Why don't read what people say before you go and attack them with your pseudo-baseball knowledge "thus far he hasn't shown much potential." That is the whole point. He HAS shown potential but the potential has not been realized just yet. He needs to work on his control a bit, if he can get that back and he can be successful in the bigs. ohhh and I will just ignore the moron comment, what are you 12 years old?

This team amazes me more and more i watch them when cantu hit that home run and tiedf the game, that was when i knew who ever it is comes through!
