Ice Man Posted April 10, 2005 Share Posted April 10, 2005 Ok, heres a few thing's that I've noticed. People are freaking out because We either score 9 runs or bust. However, historically we've flat out sucked against Hampton, Livan and Well, Tim Hudson is amazing. So, It's a case of good pitching beats good offense. Livan always kills us. So, i expected to loose this one. Don't freak out. Also, I think we can all agree our bullpen is doing well. However, this time last year it was as well.

zzdunlapj Posted April 10, 2005 Share Posted April 10, 2005 The thing is, the Marlins can't beat teams when they start a pitcher whose last name starts with "H"...but the Fish have the rest of the alphabet covered... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mephisto Posted April 10, 2005 Share Posted April 10, 2005 I see your point but losing these kind of games sucks. We cant afford to let good pitching go to waste. Our guys have got to start hitting with RISP Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Das Texan Posted April 10, 2005 Share Posted April 10, 2005 we have just now gone through one turn of the rotation. AJ Burnett did worst. I'll take that. The hitting has been inconsistent. That will change. We will be fine and I expect us in comfortable shape by the end of April. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheMothman Posted April 10, 2005 Share Posted April 10, 2005 The problem is we have to take advantage of games that the opponent manufactures 3 runs or less those games are like giveaways. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PBMarlin Posted April 10, 2005 Share Posted April 10, 2005 5 feet further on LoDuca's shot and we would have won. 5 feet less on Guillen's shot and we could still be playing. That's baseball. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
minus Posted April 10, 2005 Share Posted April 10, 2005 Tough loss.... A real heart breaker considering how close the Fish were of winning in the 9th.Is not time to panic because it is a long SEASON.Remember last year hot start and what happen the rest of the year? I know tomorrow Fish will win (They better because I will be there.) and take the series. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ice Man Posted April 10, 2005 Author Share Posted April 10, 2005 I end the night with this: It's been said a gazillion times: It's a long season. It's better to loose now then later, because the games don't matter that much here. The summer and the fall strecth is when it counts.

Skully Posted April 10, 2005 Share Posted April 10, 2005 I'm gonna start a petition to cut that damn scoreboard by 5 feet. I felt so bad for LoDuca. He thought he had that game won. I had jumped out of my seat with my arms in the air too... That sucked. Anyways, so stay on topic; I'm not worried at all. The pitching has been good, and Maniac is right. We've just gotten beat by good pitching... They'll be fine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also the entire bench emptied and was on the field but then they saw it hit the wall and they all jumped back down, it sucked that it didnt win the game but it was pretty funny watching that.

Guest Fritz Posted April 10, 2005 Share Posted April 10, 2005 I think over time the wall evens out. I'm sure it's robbed its fair share of opponent homeruns. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

marlinsfan75 Posted April 10, 2005 Share Posted April 10, 2005 I was there and thought LoDuca's shot was gone. Got caught up in it. It was still one of the best Marlin games I have been to even though they lost. I'm just glad Carlos got it going. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leon389 Posted April 10, 2005 Share Posted April 10, 2005 I think everybody is trying to hit homers and not playing the small ball. But on the other hand it could be worst....the mets are 0-5. :shifty Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marlins2003 Posted April 10, 2005 Share Posted April 10, 2005 A couple of years ago people were marveling at Perry Hill's ability to position our players on defense to forsee where the next hitter most often would be hitting the ball. Now it seems more and more teams are making a science out of defensive positioning. The Marlins are hitting the ball, putting it in play. The problem has been we're hitting the ball where they are and not where they aren't. Easley hit a screaming line drive to left that the fielder took one step and caught. To their credit, their infielders looked like they had been handed a memo on where to play to get their two doubleplays. Whether it's the Delgado shift or watching the number of DPs we've hit into, the fact is more teams are taking advantage of our player's tendencies and if we are to prevail more often in the 2005 campaign the team has got to make adjustments at the plate to force the opposing team's defenses to loosen up a bit. I know it's easy to say when you're in the stands and not trying to hit a round ball (thrown at 90+ mph) with a round bat, but until we do we're going to see more of the same.

Blackru_fish Posted April 10, 2005 Share Posted April 10, 2005 Would just like to say hi for the first time this season. Just been reading a few posts and have to ask - Do you think the first 5 games will reflect the rest of the season? >Great pitching (1st in major league), but struggling to win close games. I don't want this to be the team that can't win from behind. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Juanky Posted April 11, 2005 Share Posted April 11, 2005 I think over time the wall evens out. I'm sure it's robbed its fair share of opponent homeruns. 736115[/snapback] Just ask Pat Burrell. The Wall giveth and The Wall taketh away. Enc should have three homers as we speak, however the Wall robbed him as well. That one didn't matter because Miguel slammed one over Joe Robbie the next at bat. However, you get used to it, and I rather be playing in this park than in Philly's.
