April 10, 200422 yr I know the season is only 4 games old for the Marlins, but I've been looking at the Marlins' players' batting averages. For a lot of them, it's pretty high. Lowell is .500 Redmond is .600, but he's only been to the plate 5 times this season. Of course D-Train is 1.000 with his 3 for 3 night against the Spos. Juan Pierrie is .333, and Cabera is hitting .313 And Niner is hitting a respectable .267. The Marlins have turned the bats on this far, hope they can continue.
April 10, 200422 yr the season is only 4 gms old but seriously, in our 3 wins we have (in order) 10 hits 11 hits and 11 hits but have only scored 4 runs, 3 runs and 4 runs un problemo? maybe
April 10, 200422 yr Author Yea, leaving men on base, especially if the bases are loaded can turn into being our Achilles (sp?) heel this year, I hope not tho.
April 10, 200422 yr Yesterday we still weren't hitting well with men on. We just had that one explosive inning where everything came together, and then a random run later on thanks to some setting up and stuff.
April 10, 200422 yr It will all come together. Perhaps last night's 7th will be the catalyst to get them going! We were clutch last year, and no doubt will be again. The season is young.....and we already have a great start.
April 10, 200422 yr The Marlins have not turned on the bats so far. Our batting average is good, but that's about it offensively. We're 5th in the league in batting, with a .292 average. But we're tied for 12th in runs scored with 13. While our average is good, we're not drawing any walks so our OBP is only .328, which is 11th in the league. We're also not getting a lot of extra base hits - our slugging percentage of .400 is also 11th in the league. We're winning for one reason - pitching and defense (I guess that's two reasons). Our team ERA is 2.25, best in baseball. Our WHIP is 1.00, best in baseball. Our starters have been incredible and the bullpen has done the job, even if they've looked a little scary at times. That's fine - we're supposed to win with pitching and defense, and that's what we're doing.

April 11, 200422 yr Lowell, Choi, and Cabrera are all doing great but the rest are doing pretty bad, especially conine, castro, and gonzalez
April 11, 200422 yr Lowell, Choi, and Cabrera are all doing great but the rest are doing pretty bad, especially conine, castro, and gonzalez Castro will learn. Gonzalez seems to be breaking out of his slump. Niner looks like he is still sick a little bit. No time to be hating them now... I don't care about having the fewest runs at the moment because it is early in the season. Some players haven't exactly got in a groove yet and some are facing some pitchers for the first time...
