August 3, 200818 yr Olsen allows ZERO hits out of the infield and is pulled after 6............. /not shocked. Stupid fans blaming Fredi for trying to get extra runs, in that situation b/c it didn't pan out. /not shocked.
August 3, 200818 yr Author just a tough loss...... we had many of those already this year so looking at things oi say we are going to have a few of those every year...every team does, and we will prob have some ahead of us to. Let's try to forget this game, it's hard but we tied the series now all i care about is that the philliesl ose 2night and we take both the phillies and mets series, sweep would be nicer Can't really forget it. I agree with what Tommy said it is now August the Marlins can't afford to lose games against teams they should beat and teams with sub .500 records, especially when we had the lead. I had a feeling two runs wouldnt be enough... it sucks.
August 3, 200818 yr Why wasn't Gregg pitching the 9th?...is my question. Fredi was planning for extra innings instead of trying to win the game So everyone thinks Kevin Gregg is good now? Lol.

Stupid fans blaming Fredi for trying to get extra runs, in that situation b/c it didn't pan out. /not shocked. Intelligent fans blaming Fredi for the pitching decisions he made. :thumbup
August 3, 200818 yr I don't care what anyone thinks, Cody is the weak link in our lineup unless Dallas is called up. If we bring Dallas up we can lose Jake, but until then, I think Alfredo needs to start getting starts over Cody in center. I will take his contact hitting and pitcher disruption over Cody's constant strikeouts and occasional power surges. I wish Maybin was ready.
August 3, 200818 yr Olsen allows ZERO hits out of the infield and is pulled after 6............. /not shocked. still can't believe the ball Jake hit in the 8th did not go out... Fredi had to pull him. The bases were loaded with 2 outs and he was up. We needed to score runs and his pitch count was high. It was an obvious move.
August 3, 200818 yr go fish get what your saying it hurts me 2 im just trying to be positive and cmon guys lets hope the phils lose

Intelligent fans blaming Fredi for the pitching decisions he made. :thumbup The only bad decision he made was not bringing in his closer in the 9th...no idea why he did that. Aside from that, he did nothing wrong. The hitters deserve blame for today's loss.

Ross is struggling right now, so he should get some time off. But Amezaga shouldnt start over him. Ross is the better hitter, and we need amezaga off the bench.
August 3, 200818 yr De Pinga. 9 Hits and only 2 runs, we can't win like that. Cantu was supposed to be THE ONE and he popped up , then hammer KNEW fuentes was going right down the middle with a fastball and the best he can do is a flyball to left? Come on guys!! ... GO GET 'EM TOMORROW!
August 3, 200818 yr I don't know how you can blame Fredi for ELEVEN men left on base... Anything to blame the manager instead of the players I guess

Stupid fans blaming Fredi for trying to get extra runs, in that situation b/c it didn't pan out. /not shocked. You are a tool. holier than though. This is how you manage (take notes): Think what the other team wants and do the opposite. You know EVERY SINGLE Rockies fan was glad Olsen was out after 6. That means it was clearly the wrong decision. When you are up 2-0 PITCHING will win the game, not offense. Today the team and offense just did not pick up Fredi like they do 80% of the time.

I agree but they need to make it more of a platoon. Start Amezaga whenever we face a soft tossing lefty, the types that give us trouble. Or to jump start the offense. You can't have 3 guys in a row in the lineup who all strikeout a ton, and we do in Uggla, Jacobs and Ross. We can't replace Uggla, we can't do anything with Jake til Dallas comes up, the only option is Ross.
August 3, 200818 yr Yes, of course the hitting SUCKED. No sh*t. All's I'm saying is that Fredi was of no help. Never is. I can bash on him here after 99% of ALL games, I just choose not to after wins.

What every team wants in that situation is to stay in the game; keep at 2-0. Also, Olsen was already near 100 pitches in the 6th, so he would've only gone another inning, if that.
August 3, 200818 yr You know, I really hate to bring this up...but on Thursday night, I promised myself I'd say this the next time that the Fish lost so here it goes: Manny could have won this game for us... ...think about it

August 3, 200818 yr Ironically, the play that killed us was Baker's hit up the middle. I had a feeling it was bad news in disguise, and it ended up playing out that way. Fredi had to PH for Olsen with the bases loaded and an opportunity to open up the game, but you sure hate to take out a guy that's pitching that well. It cost us the game in the end. No bad moves, just "untimely" hitting. My thoughts exactly. I had a bad feeling about thar hit at the time. Can't really blame Fredi for pinch hitting Olsen in that situation, it was just bad luck. I can blame him however for keeping Nelson in the game, If he didn't want to use Gregg he should have at least used Lindstrom who has been nasty lately. But in the end the Marlins hitting is what killed them today so we really Can't fully blame Fredi. All we can do now is hope the Phillies and Mets loose tonight, and then the Fish have to take care of buisness.
August 3, 200818 yr You know, I really hate to bring this up...but on Thursday night, I promised myself I'd say this the next time that the Fish lost so here it goes: Manny could have won this game for us... ...think about it lol, no he would've, Manny would've done the same thing as Hammer, flied out.
August 3, 200818 yr I don't know that I've ever seen such a good team that is so frustrating to watch. I'm frankly shocked that we are where we are considering our atrocious situational hitting. Say what you will, but I think that Fredi deserves blame for not getting these players better with respect to being big league hitters. We obviously are a young team, but I'm not sure I've seen much progression, defensively or offensively, since Girardi left this club. Fredi is miles ahead of where he was last season as an in-game manager, but his lassez-faire attitude doesn't help a young team that needs someone to tell them that striking out is not okay. I realize this team is not ever going to be a contact hitting bunch, but I hate the fact that we're trotting out a group of guys that are mostly under 25 and we seem to be resigned to the fact that we have a swing and miss type team. That's on Fredi.
August 3, 200818 yr You know, I really hate to bring this up...but on Thursday night, I promised myself I'd say this the next time that the Fish lost so here it goes: Manny could have won this game for us... ...think about it just shut up with manny ramirez. We could have had him, but we didnt get him. Be happy with the team you have now, and stop thinking about who we could have had.
