May 14, 200818 yr we came into series hot but cool down alot our pitching doing not good in this series and we leaving like 10 on base what going on ??? are we worn out from long long road trip???????? now end road trip with four game series
May 14, 200818 yr We faced good pitchers for a change. I'm not surprised. and when you face good pitchers...it doesn't help when you don't have your 4th hitter AND your 5th hitter in the lineup. For some reason, 2 consecutive losses is like the end of the world to some people on this board. Btw, Harang (1 of the most consistent pitchers over the last 3 years) Volquez (best pitcher in the NL so far this year) ...again (this is to miamibaseball)...calm down!
May 14, 200818 yr This idea that we're going to win every game or that lesser teams can't beat higher ranked teams is as fallacious as the idea that we're pitching badly when professional ballplayers get hits off them. What have we been doing all season if not exactly that? It's a miscue here, a lucky bounce there, someone not running on passed ball, someone getting hot, we haven't been embarrassed in either of these games. I hate losing, but let's not jump off a cliff here.
May 14, 200818 yr Harang & Volquez performed very well. It's no doubt about it. but, Next 2 Reds starters, Arroyo & Belisle could be easier than Harang & Volquez. We Gonna Make it. I still believe. also, I felt some vacancy of our regular guys, Jake & Hammer during this series. CF and Catcher problem still available until We should make a choice that Buyer or Nothing.
May 14, 200818 yr Author i bet you all donot want to see us get sweep by cinn that why we must leave cinn 2-2 not 0-4 or 1-3
May 14, 200818 yr i bet you all donot want to see us get sweep by cinn that why we must leave cinn 2-2 not 0-4 or 1-3 0-4 would be disappointing. 1-3=a winning road trip=not the end of the world, especially when you don't have 2 of your best hitters in the lineup.
May 14, 200818 yr Ending our winning streak this way has broken the back of many marlin fans.It's very frustrating and destroyed confidence.
May 14, 200818 yr Author i be disppointed to see use go 1-3 or sweep by them 2-2 that what i say before trip start that last series was going to be
May 14, 200818 yr Ending our winning streak this way has broken the back of many marlin fans.It's very frustrating and destroyed confidence. Yeah, 23-16 (1st in the NL East) -surprise of baseball -entered the night, tied for the best record in baseball you're right...life sucks

Yeah, 23-16 (1st in the NL East) -surprise of baseball -entered the night, tied for the best record in baseball you're right...life sucks It does.I almost cried after tonights loss.If your a marlin fan you should be very concerned about our pitching.Especially if our bats begin to cool off.
May 14, 200818 yr Author why have we not hitting well ??leaving so many on base during this series??? it not like their have winning record look how play better vs washington a place team
May 14, 200818 yr Can't win every one. We just faced 2 great pitchers. Now lets go out and take the next two.
May 14, 200818 yr why have we not hitting well ??leaving so many on base during this series??? it not like their have winning record look how play better vs washington a place team Umm yeah, everyone needs to take some of these... And miamibaseball maybe you need a double dose.
May 14, 200818 yr we came into series hot but cool down alot our pitching doing not good in this series and we leaving like 10 on base what going on ??? are we worn out from long long road trip???????? now end road trip with four game series Edinson Volquez might have had something to do with it.
May 14, 200818 yr We can still split the series and remember we are playing in hostile territory. We come back home to play the Royals with a nice homecoming. Take one day off and get refreshed for the D-Backs. Now, we can watch them live! I am pumped I have officially made my move to Miami!!!!
May 14, 200818 yr I have not been happy with the performance coming offensively out of our CF, 1B, and C positions. First base won't be a problem once Jacobs returns (whenever that is), but this team needs to make a move to upgrade at CF and C soon. Maybin won't be able to contribute this season, and we don't really have a top catching prospect in the pipeline.

Since we're moving Willingham to center, we might as well bring Olsen in to catch behind the plate. :blink:
May 14, 200818 yr Nolasco & Arroyo, both pitchers had more flied-out than ground-out. I think tomorrow game could be the slugfest.

And miamibaseball maybe you need a double dose. What happens if I take a whole bottle of those? :lol

May 14, 200818 yr Hendrickson may be coming crashing back down to Earth. He's now given up 5 runs in his last 9 innings and he's thrown over 200 pitches. He's also now allowing more than one hit per inning.
