Six: There is a pop fly to shallow right center. Murphy goes out to catch it and injures himself. Morgan sees Murphy is down and tags. So here is the problem, in two-fold: because Morgan was on third after stealing two bases, the defense had to be aware of the potential of a tag and that may have lead to Murphy overextending himself to trying for the ball. And, once again, Nyjer is (in)directly involved in a Marlins player getting injured and lost for the season. If Morgan had simply stayed at first or even second, that play would not have happened the same way. That is exactly our thoughts here. We've lost a good player because of this.

In only two nights, I feel badly for two of our players who stepped up when we needed them and gave us whatever they got to let us win games. Hayes and Murphy both deserve a lot of credit and thanks. It's a shame they both got hurt so badly. I'll never forget Hayes not letting go of the ball after Morgan ran him over. And Murphy's numerous walk-offs that saved us. I was just saying earlier in the game thread that it was good to see Murphy getting hits and scoring runs in the first time in a long time that Edwin allowed him to start a game. Sucks badly that that would be his last game he'd play this year. I would really like to see Murphy come back next year and I think he deserves the consideration I was saying the same thing about Murphy myself earlier. He finally gets to start, is having an amazing night and it ends this way? Murphy was having a good year, he was due. I also really hope that we can see him here again next year, he deserves it. Both Hayes and Murphy held onto those balls even though they were injured pretty badly. Kudos to both of them.
