marlins4life16 Posted April 30, 2011 Share Posted April 30, 2011 Phew, that was a close one. Can't wait to watch some JJ tomorrow! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GoFishGoMs628 Posted April 30, 2011 Share Posted April 30, 2011 Marlins do just enough to win this one, Reds are known for comebacks, Leo faltered a little bit didn't have his best stuff but he had enough stuff against Bruce. Would like to see the Marlins do better at adding on runs, this is two games now where we have let the opposing team crawl back. Hanley had 2 hits and his normal bat flip strike out, getting better but not there yet. A win is a win is a win. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
babaru Posted April 30, 2011 Share Posted April 30, 2011 It was not fun to see Nunez get into trouble, but it was nice to see him get out of it. This is a good sign for me, last year this would have been a loss. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HitDaCycle Posted April 30, 2011 Share Posted April 30, 2011 Started off really great, Vaz with probably his best start so far. The game got too close for comfort and it shouldn't have come down to 1 run, but hey we won!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jorge Regula Posted April 30, 2011 Share Posted April 30, 2011 no complaints. id rather see leo give up a few like this than when we go into the inning up by one. he's been money this year Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Erick Posted April 30, 2011 Share Posted April 30, 2011 To be fair, Bonifacio totally complicated the 9th inning. Unless I saw it wrong, it really seemed like he took a bad route to the ball. Either way, a win is a win, and Leo Nunez is still irreplaceable... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yessir Posted April 30, 2011 Share Posted April 30, 2011 I'll take it. Any win we get from a Vasquez start I'll take it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rabbethan Posted April 30, 2011 Share Posted April 30, 2011 Yeah, Boni couldn't have played that worse if his name was Jerry Sands, but that happens. The bigger problem was Leo having the worst outing of the season so far; he just didn't have his stuff. But we got it, all good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I Love Me Some Fish Posted April 30, 2011 Share Posted April 30, 2011 The Marlins are pretty good in series openers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hotcorner Posted April 30, 2011 Share Posted April 30, 2011 how awesome to take the opener with Javy on the mound. Now it sets up with JJ and Ricky, that's a pretty good chance to take another series. :thumbup Javy seems to be getting a little better Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

97marlin Posted April 30, 2011 Share Posted April 30, 2011 did anyone else notice leo's fastball was in the low 90's? I thought his 4-seam was 96-98 most outings? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

canada-marlin24 Posted April 30, 2011 Share Posted April 30, 2011 well besides almost blowing a 6 run lead this was a good win. javier pitched well except for that 3 run home run. he is getting better but he needs to get deeper and stop giving up runs in the first inning. i will say this. that game was definitely one that i feel leo would have blown last year and the year before.

Did you predict that Leo would allow 2 in the 9th and then K Bruce to end the game tonight? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gizmo Posted April 30, 2011 Author Share Posted April 30, 2011 As long as we always have twice the amount of wins as we do losses, we should be fine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
