April 2, 201115 yr Another positive would be that none of our starters struck out in this game. The Marlins only K'd twice, and it was Josh Johnson both times. For a team that's been at the top in strikeouts over the years, that was nice to see. According to my research, the last time we pulled this off was on August 16, 2007. This was the lineup: Hanley Ramirez SS Alejandro de Aza CF Miguel Cabrera 3B Josh Willingham LF Mike Jacobs 1B Dan Uggla 2B Miguel Olivo C Jeremy Hermida RF How the hell did we pull that off with Jacobs in the lineup? All that shows you is one game sample sizes in the MLB MEAN NOTHING NO MATTER WHAT, not even if george harrison told you so.
April 2, 201115 yr Gotta go with Bucknasty in his Marlins debut. Not only offensively, but behind the plate as well. A high baseball-IQ catcher like Buck is exactly what a relatively young rotation like ours needs behind the dish. I'm looking forward to seeing how he handles the back end of our rotation.
