June 30, 201016 yr Marlins walkoff!!! 7-6! W: Nunez (3-1) L: Feliciano (2-3) 2B: J Cantu 2 (20); C Coghlan (18) HR: H Ramirez (12,); D Uggla (15)
June 30, 201016 yr Would've been more fun if Leo didn't blow the save. But an ugly win looks just the same as a great one in the box score. DANIEL COOLEY UGGLA!
June 30, 201016 yr Our bullpen still sucks. But with the series win, we live to fight another day as far as the season goes.
June 30, 201016 yr a huge win and nice to see edwin will be there throughout the season. not at all happy with leo for blowing that save and nate deserved a win becuase 2 of those runs were really not his fault. huge hit from dan and it feels like a lifetime since weve had a walkoff. atlanta lost which helps us too but still more work to do.
June 30, 201016 yr It's hard not to give this to Uggla for both the HR and the walk-off single, but we were down by 3 when Hanley hit the granny. So I have to give props to the guy who put us in position in the first place. What was really nice about this win was seeing us come through with a couple 2 out rallies, including the one at the end there. A lot of guys were swinging the bats well. It is concerning though that Leo blew another save. He is capable of being lights out any given night, but the next night be extremely vulnerable. He's not Jorge Julio, but consistency is a major problem for him and he is definitely not the all-star closer some guys thought he was earlier in the year. Amazingly, one of the big heroes of the game had to be Jose Veras. It appears that he actually was at least a bit better than the other guys in the revolving door, because he just gave us a couple good & important innings whereas the other guys never had one.

He's not Jorge Julio, but consistency is a major problem for him and he is definitely not the all-star closer some guys thought he was earlier in the year. He had 5 straight scoreless outings before this last one. He's been amazing all season, and like every other closer in baseball is prone to having a bad outing once in a while. Leo is the least of our worries right now.
June 30, 201016 yr :barf Leo Nunez I'm loving the offense during this series. I hope it continues! Marlin of the Game? Leo Nunez. He got the win.
June 30, 201016 yr Gotta Give it to Daniel. 3 RBI's including a big 2 Run HR and the game winning single. But Credit Nate Robertson for a solid outing and the Middle Relievers did very well, wish Leo could have gotten the save but that's baseball and all the matters is that we got the Win.
June 30, 201016 yr walk-off win against the mets and i missed it.... damn i hate myself. And your favorite Uggla did a ton of damage! I'm pretty sure they give a replay at 2am if you REALLY want to watch it.
June 30, 201016 yr I'm liking this series. Good game overall though. Bad near the end with Leo but hey..grand slam by Hanely and a walk-off by Uggla...pretty exciting. Here's hoping for a sweep!
June 30, 201016 yr Edwin didn't contact his family about his permanent hiring? Ever heard of texting?
June 30, 201016 yr Leo Nunez has been about as good as the majority of closers in baseball. As they showed tonight, even KRod has his fair share of blown saves. Every closer blows saves; they're human. I'll take the trade. We actually won, and Jose Veras stepped up and pitched well. If the middle relief steps up, I'm not really all that worried about Leo. Hopefully I'm right because beginning next week, he'll be on my fantasy team. His peripherals say he'll be fine. His changeup just wasn't working as well as it normally is tonight.
June 30, 201016 yr i think we all know that we would very likely have lost the game if we had gone into extras so I knew we needed to score there. also....can i please get some props for my adamant calls to being jose veras back up!!.....hes done a solid job.

Pulling up some of the standing peripherals on MLB.com, some interesting stats. Our projected W/L ratio (based on runs surrendered and runs scored) is 41-36, 5 games over .500. Hopefully, luck will be on our side in the second half, and our real W/L ratio matches (or exceeds) our projected W/L ratio. Also, the team's 3 games below 500, yet is 16-10 against lefty starters. Shows that our lineup needs more lefties in it.
June 30, 201016 yr Edwin didn't contact his family about his permanent hiring? Ever heard of texting? It was announced like five minutes before the game and cell phones aren't allowed in dug outs.
June 30, 201016 yr Edwin didn't contact his family about his permanent hiring? Ever heard of texting? It was announced like five minutes before the game and cell phones aren't allowed in dug outs. And I'm sure he had other things on his mind at that time as well...he has plenty of time to do that after the game
June 30, 201016 yr By the way, heck of a CWS game on ESPN right now. Into extras, UCLA and South Carolina tied at 1.
June 30, 201016 yr So far, I like how Edwin manages the bullpen. Taylor Taneresly is proving to be a very good LOOGY, and Jose Veras is giving us solid innings.

Needs to fall out of love with the changeup just like someone else needs to with the fastball IMO.
June 30, 201016 yr Missed the whole game except the bottom of the ninth. Hopefully we can get the sweep tomorrow.
June 30, 201016 yr doesnt everyone remember during the offseason when leo was talking about developing and using his slider more.....i have yet to see that and tonight was definitely one of those nights that he could have used a third pitch. getting the first out or at least one of the first two men out is key during a save and when you dont do that you will have serious problems.
