We really need to get Boner out of the top of the order! We could test out how he does in the 8 spot. If he finaly got on base batting 8th then he could steal a base or just get bunted over by the pitcher giving us more chances to drive him in with Coghlan and Baker batting 1st and 2nd. It just seems smarter then initially benching him and it will finally get baker back in the 2 spot where he belongs. If all else fails then get him out of the lineup and demote him so he can try to work it out in AAA. I agree but boner (see now you guys got me calling him boner!!) is not the only issue in our lineup. The entire lineup is just plain bad especially with RISP. Another stellar 2-11 tonight where those 2 didn't even score a run. Those are awful numbers. 3 guys struck out tonight on check swings. This happens all the time! There is no plate discipline and the fish frequently strike out with check swungs or swining at balls in the dirt. As a team, our OPS is like 5th worse in the entire league. The fact is, we are not (as shown by 50 games into the season) a good hitting team.

I hated Fredi's management of that ninth inning. Tough loss, hopefully we come back strong tomorrow and win this series. I agree. a poorly managed 9th. But I don't really think that matters as our offense is really really bad.

im done with this team for at least a week. They're a really really bad hitting team with very little hear and I don't see the situation improving. 2-11 with RISP and the 2 hits didn't even score anyone. Pathetic.

Good thing DeAza didn't hit a homer. lol

we cannot get a big hit

nice de aza

de aza? really?

good job paulino...

oh god we are so bad

swinging at a ball...

zito is livid

our offense can be really really really bad

yup. thats our marlins

at least it didnt go in the outfield

wow. no way hermida makes that

the lefty specialist strikes again...well at least we can count on his defense...

score some runs please!

we really need nolasco to return to form

Fantastic game by JJ. Good win for the fish. A bit worrisome that besides JJ our offense could only muster one run against a pitcher with a 4.4 era, but at least we won!

He only allowed a double... I would've liked for him to finish the inning. i dont disagree. His fastball was still hitting 96. Hats off the JJ though.

wow. what a pitch to swing on.

I actually would've preferred a PH for JJ there. why? he just had a 9 pitch inning.

just got here...what did coghlan do? ran to third on a fly ball not realizing there was only 1 out, got doubled off at 1st. doh!

Herms had the steal the pitch before uggla also had the walk

just got here...what did coghlan do?
