July 2, 200520 yr Nuff' huh? lol  Good to see Mota back. 837062[/snapback] I agree. I was getting frustrated with Mota giving up at least 2-3 runs every outing. Glad he's finally performing!
July 2, 200520 yr I get nervous when Venereal De Los Santos takes the mound. Hehe. I have been wanting to call him that forever! It's just a joke though so don't think I don't like him.
July 2, 200520 yr i think they said he's Encarnacion's cousin 837087[/snapback] He is :thumbup  That's why you saw Encarnacion hussle to catch that foul ball the other game
July 2, 200520 yr and they both have such beautiful spanish names  :lol 837117[/snapback] :rofl Keith Hernandez is so gay :lol
July 2, 200520 yr He has been good for us, minus Franco's grand slam (of which 1 run counted towards valery's ERA) he hasnt given up too many big huts and has done his job admirably.

July 2, 200520 yr Author I just like his attitude, did u see how he jumped after he got that DP? and when he struck out one of the Braves batter to get the third out, how he pulled his hat to the side all badass looking :cool him and Encarnacion are my favorite Marlins.
July 3, 200520 yr Of all the experiments this year, he has done the best by far. Our bullpen is improving and pitching better. Mota is on the mend. Jones continues to be very solid. If Alfonseca can come back and be effective we'll be in pretty good shape....not spectacular perhaps, but decent.

It takes a couple of big league stats to really get back in a grove after TJ. Just look at Aj burnett last year, you can pitch AAA all you want it is still nothing compared to the Bigs. So i dont think you want to throw a guy that you are very uncertain in a pennant race.

He's nowhere close to coming back. Let's hope he can pitch again at all...

The only current disappointment is Mecir, who though coming into tough situations, isnt performing up to the standard that we need. I think Alfonseca will be effective when he returns, and I don't believe there is any need to comment on the amazing Monsieur Jones. Give it a couple of weeks, and I think this team will be in great shape. If only we werent paying Lowell $7mil this year................
July 3, 200520 yr When is AA coming back? 837816[/snapback]Â Sometime around the end of July, early August.
