September 21, 200323 yr Miguel Cabrera hit a solo homer in the 11th inning tonight to push the Marlins over the Braves. It the Marlins make it to the playoffs and Mike Lowell returns, the team will have a tough decision to make in left field. Cabrera is batting .343 this month, so it looks like he might be the choice over the struggling Jeff Conine. c/o rotoworld.com Looks like 9ner wont be much of a factor... :plain Braden Looper blew a save for the second consecutive appearance tonight, giving up two runs in the ninth inning against the Braves. Ugueth Urbina also gave up two runs in his inning, so manager Jack McKeon still has no reason to entertain thoughts of a closer switch. Looper has struggled in back-to-back appearances, but he pitched scoreless innings in seven straight outings prior to the rough spell. There's no reason to be down on him. c/o rotoworld.com
September 21, 200323 yr well regardless of who sits, we won't be hearing "Florida's bench is their weakness"
September 21, 200323 yr i hate this topic. i like them both, but miggy has been on fire lately. he should stay as a starter i think. "well regardless of who sits, we won't be hearing 'Florida's bench is their weakness'" yes i agree. if anything goes wrong we know we have amazing backups as well.
September 21, 200323 yr 9er to right and Encarnacion benches.. or should i keep my mouth shut ? While that might be a one-game, match-up kinda deal, I don't see it happening regularly.
September 21, 200323 yr 9er to right and Encarnacion benches.. or should i keep my mouth shut ? you know i am not a huge fan of Encarnacion (one of my least fav marlin) but he has gone how long without an error?? i cant even remember. i have to give him props. guy has skills with that glove and he comes through with the bat from time to time
September 21, 200323 yr Come on. We have to leave the guys like Enc and Cabs that have been with us the whole year in the playoff games. They deserve it more than Conine. The guys who brought us where we are deserve more respect than you give them. It wasn't just the guys with the high BAs such as Castillo, JP, Pudgey, and Lowell. Baseball is a team sport. Jack knows this, I believe Cabrera will be making the starts, and hes not switching Enc, who hasn't made an error the entire year. BTW, Enc is almost at the 20 HR mark, he does have POWER.
September 21, 200323 yr Encarnacion almost hit #18 last night. He hit some Hard Ones Last night... Watch out for Enc in the next few games.... :mischief
September 21, 200323 yr I remember in the begining of the season all these Baseball analysts and i also remember Bill Robinson saying that they expecting Enc. to have a breakout year and hit about 35 HR's and over 100rbi's oh well, he's still be good, maybe next year he'll break out.
