I don't see any grousing about or calling out for the benching of Castillo for blowing a play that he admits he should have made and allowed a run to score. Or you could say maybe we ought send AJ back to the minors for giving up five singles in one inning. To say things like "God forbid the man ever hustle in the field" seems to me to be mean-spirited for the sake being mean-spirited.

 

You'd think Miggy was the secon-coming of Junior Felix.

Yes, Luis blew the play but it was due to a mental error and not a lack of effort or hustling. The ball was hit to the right side, but Luis instead of going after the ball ran to cover 2nd instead of letting Seabass cover second since the ball was hit to the right side, it was an obvious mental mistake and he realized immediately after it happened.

apparently accord is the only sensible one in this ENTIRE FREAKING FORUM. all of you are so completly and utterly rediculous. i did not say because he made an effort, perhaps i have to spell out what LACK LUSTER MEANS...LACK OF EFFORT IDIOTS.

 

last year lenny harris dind't run out a play on a ground ball, hence, lackluster effort.

 

cabrera attempted to get that ball entirely too non-chalantly for my likings and i'm sure that if he had a seat on the bench for a game he'd realize to work his ass off. lemme ask you geniouses something. ever see juan pierre go after a fly ball like that? sure he's missed but have u ever seen him go out and try to 'basket catch' a few feet in front of you. how are you taught to catch a baseball? get under it and catch with two hands. if he even REMOTELY tried hard to catch the ball he coulda gotten under it. the second one admittedly was much more difficult and judging his reaction it was lost in the light, still no excuse for the first one.

name calling, nice.

 

anyway Cabs tried to make the catch, he probably thought his best chance was with the basket. He made an error. s*** happens. It didnt cost us the game, we got lucky in that regard. Putting Cabs on the bench will do nothing but weaken our offense

Don't bench Miggy! :no

I was commenting on the word "ever" which implies he never hustles which is ridiculous.

 

Players have bad games. AJ lost his composure giving up five hits in an inning, Castillo let a run score with a bad throw any AA second baseman could have made, these things happen. And while RFerry believes he and only he gets it, he's often wrong. Cabrera didn't make two errors last night in one inning or in the whole game. The official scoring of the game lists only two errors, one by Cabrera and one by Castillo.

 

But why let the facts get in the way of b*llsh*t, when it's so easy to come up with un-informed reasons why the team didn't win or look for a scapegoart after every loss.

 

If we had pulled the game out in the eighth or ninth not one word of this drivel would be here today.

 

The reason so many people are commenting on Miguel's lack of effort is because he does it all the time. This isn't a new thing, it's just carrying over. He did it in the Spring Training games I watched, he's done it this year, he did it last year as well, yet he's supposed to get a free pass because 13 year old girls think he's hot and because he's 21 years old? His being young is the exact reason why he shouldn't get a free pass, because if it isn't drilled into his head now that his defense is going to cost us games then it'll just keep on costing us games until he isn't a Marlin anymore. We have to accept the fact that there's no DH in the NL (thank God but Miguel would be perfect for that role) and his bat warrants his playing in the field, so while he's out there he might as well actually try.

 

Look, I'm not saying Luiy didn't mess up. He did. I was yelling at Luiy louder than anyone else for screwing up three consecutive plays. I still don't know why he was running to second one a 3-2 pitch with two outs, there was absolutely no accomplishment to be had at the base if the ball isn't hit into play. However, Luiy doesn't half ass plays. His error was made on a play most other second baseman don't even get a glove on, much less manage to get a throw off even if it is a bad one. For my money, Miguel botched two plays in a row. The only reason he even jogged to the second one is because he goofed the play right before, if not he walks to that one too. Defensive lapses are ok if it actually looks like you give a s*** on defense, but I refuse to give a free pass to someone that walks around like they should be in stands while wearing a glove just because he can't shave yet. Sorry.

I can't see benching one of our best hitters for his lackluster play in LF. However, I would hope that McKeon would chew him out a bit. Sure it was only 1 charged error. However it all adds up. In ST he trotted to a few balls and watched them drop in front of him. He did the same in the 2nd game of the Braves series which cost us their first run. His play in the OF is quite uninspiring. He is unquestionably the worst defensive player (starter) on the team. Unfortunately there is no place we can hide him on defense.

I am not sure if 03 was referring to the bad judgement call on the covering of 2nd base on the hit and run on a called outside pitch, or the bad throw by Luis. Now 03 said any AA players makes that throw, true... but how many get to that ball?.. I also dont think AJ lost his composure, its not like the balls were getting killed out there

He said the play that cost us a run, and the one I mentioned is the only play that directly resulted in a run for the Braves.

losing his bat for one game can pay off in more inspired play the next 158 games.

ya i guess miguel could be a prima donna baby and sulk about being benched for one game.

 

that would just be awesome.

In the time Miguel Cabrera has been on the Marlins every single game after he did something idiotic he has preformed. The man always has a horrible night before getting hot. He does it all the time. Tonight Cabrera will have a good night, his history proves it.

Cabs reminds me so much of Manny Ramirez its gross. Good Hitter, Poor fielder big attitude. What happend to the Cabs that in the first part of last year was laying out for Balls (remember that night in houston with both those sick catches) and hustling. He realized that he can make a big money contract with his bat alone and just Said F-This "Miguel HIT beizbol miguel no field "

 

Heres My suggestion dont bench him, Dont get Jack on him, Dont get the players on him..........Get His Wife on him. She's vicious.

How do you know he has an attitude?

:mischief

That's the Enc protection baby

HA, so much for benching Cabs tonight.

Bench him tomorrow night too.

Let's call for his benching every night. :lol
