gomarlins9703 Posted May 13, 2008 Share Posted May 13, 2008 I have no problem losing games when the other team was better. However, I do have a problem losing games when we were better. There was no reason for us to lose this game. We were the better team today, and then blew it. Cantu and Burdenhop caused them 2 runs. No reason Tank should have been pitching either. All around, everyone did their part to blow this game. It really sucks to lose as a result of being stupid. ps I would have liked to see Ross get the start today being that we are playing in a HR park and that he?s been a little hot lately and Amezaga?s been struggling. Also, Treanor should have gotten the start. Again, I have no problem with this streak ending naturally. But this loss was not natural, it was an abortion of our streak. Btw... Dusty Baker is the worst manager in the history of baseball. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hollyberry Posted May 13, 2008 Share Posted May 13, 2008 We can't win them all. Tank had another brain fart but what can you do - he is a man (:plaindance) j/k. We did try to come back in the 8th - good sign. We just have to get them tomorrow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hollyberry Posted May 13, 2008 Share Posted May 13, 2008 Anyone else think if rebelo was hustling he should have scored form first on the griffey error???? Well, I did not see where he was but he couldnt go faster than Gonzo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LordMagnus Posted May 13, 2008 Share Posted May 13, 2008 You mean Helms should have scored? Look, the reason this loss is tough, is because of who we are facing tomorrow. That guy is nearly unhittable. So I really wanted to see the Marlins win tonight, but it was not to be. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HanleyDavidson Posted May 13, 2008 Share Posted May 13, 2008 The offense is still there we just need to avoid giving up over 3 runs each game Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr Beinfest Posted May 13, 2008 Share Posted May 13, 2008 The offense is still there we just need to avoid giving up over 3 runs each game Badenhop pitched well, 3 ER. It really is... without a doubt, Tank's fault, but ultimately Freddi Gonzalez for letting him pitch in the first place, and then letting him pitch after a 2-run homer in a 2 run game, and then letting him pitch again in a 4 run game after another 2 run homer...

canada-marlin24 Posted May 13, 2008 Share Posted May 13, 2008 either way we cost ourselves the game and we easily could have won.... i do not like tank pitching as he has not been the same and i would have gone to kensing and miller.....stupid loss!!

Admin Posted May 13, 2008 Share Posted May 13, 2008 Meh. Tank should have been taken out when he gave up the first 2-run HR. He wasn't throwing strikes or getting ahead. He was struggling and has been struggling lately. Why Fredi kept him in is beyond me. Oh well. Start a new streak tomorrow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LordMagnus Posted May 13, 2008 Share Posted May 13, 2008 Yeah, I hate to say it, but Fredi got out managed by Dusty. You noticed Baker made pitching changes when one guy was obviously struggling. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bret Hart Posted May 13, 2008 Share Posted May 13, 2008 Tomorrow Reds Starter : Volquez (5-1, 1.06 era) Can we make it? We should win tonight game. Damn. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BIG Z Posted May 13, 2008 Share Posted May 13, 2008 My thoughts are send Tank packing and call up Randy Williams or Joe Nelson from Albuquerque Williams LHP- has 16 K's in 11.2 innings with an E.R.A of 0.79 Nelson RHP- has 31 K's in 22.1 innings with an E.R.A of 2.42 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hotcorner Posted May 13, 2008 Share Posted May 13, 2008 Gotta clean up the defense. Cantu, Gonzo, passed ball... And I don't agree with leaving Tank in just because Votto's on deck. Tank's already getting crushed by lefties this year, and Brandon Phillips is murdering lefthanded pitching. Hello? Can't win 'em all. Badenhop did okay I guess. Going into the 5th he was really cruising. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gomarlins9703 Posted May 13, 2008 Author Share Posted May 13, 2008 We handed Cincy 6 of their runs. Cantu- 1 Wild Pitch- 1 Tank/Fredi- 4 Final should have been: 5-2 Marlins. (Jr. should have not dropped that ball). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

louiecastillo1 Posted May 13, 2008 Share Posted May 13, 2008 I really wanted to strangle Cantu after his air mail throw and I just felt sick after Fredi let Tank stay in the game. A win tomorrow will cure what ails me, though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marlinsno1 Posted May 13, 2008 Share Posted May 13, 2008 Nice to see the team come back in those late innings. A shame nobody was on in those first few solo HRs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marlins2003 Posted May 13, 2008 Share Posted May 13, 2008 Losses happen. Luckily, they haven't happened very often so far. Exactly :thumbup We coulda won, we didn't. Every team loses games like this. As for Tank he knows he's not pitching well and also knows the best thing that happened to him last season was going down and getting his act together. He said so just the other day himself. I suspect it's been on his mind for a while. If it happens history says it will turn out for the best. I thought Rabelo's passed ball (yeah yeah I know it was a wild pitch but that why God gave catchers bodies) was the real back-breaker. Cantu's was so bad it was almost excusable, from the split second you saw the ball leave his hand you knew it was a goner. But Rabelo should have not let that pitch by him. I could second guess Fredi and say he should of had Alfredo squeeze with the bases loaded (especially after seeing how slow the infield plays and the infielders all playing back to get the third out) but damn we have or had the best winning % in baseball so dumping of Fredi (and Tosca) is the wrong place to lay the blame. That why there's a game tomorrow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
