June 12, 201115 yr 10 hits.......1 run This is a new low for us this season. We'll be passed by the Mets soon enough
June 12, 201115 yr Oh now you guys are so depressing. We are going to win tomorrow. There I said it. We will win.
June 12, 201115 yr Situational hitting has become a foreign concept at this point. Absolutely awful and frustrating.
June 12, 201115 yr The heat better lose. Season could be lost. If old hanley shows up there is hope and JJ starts dealing it could be saved. But that's a lot o ifs.....
June 12, 201115 yr Season is over if Marlins lose tomorrow and can't even split Philly series. God dammit. Shoot. sh*t. f***. Uggla's batting avg. f***ery.
June 12, 201115 yr Situational hitting has become a foreign concept at this point. Absolutely awful and frustrating. So I'd be good with RISP?
June 12, 201115 yr Oh now you guys are so depressing. We are going to win tomorrow. There I said it. We will win. You also said they would win 9 straight starting Friday.
June 12, 201115 yr Ten games over .500...f***ing wasted This is what's bothered me more than anything. We were good.... REAAALLLLY good a few weeks ago. To just suddenly suck now is worse than sucking all year.
June 12, 201115 yr Maybe its just me, but hasn't this issue of not cashing in always been the Marlins problem?? Dating back years, this team has always had problems with "clutch" hitting.

It's a sign of the Loria/Beinfest method of spending money/acquiring talent: Rely heavily on reclamation projects and inexperienced players to carry the team instead of going out and getting a few proven reliable players who can show these kids what to do and take some pressure off of them

June 12, 201115 yr Maybe its just me, but hasn't this issue of not cashing in always been the Marlins problem?? Dating back years, this team has always had problems with "clutch" hitting. It's much worse this year, because we've got just a couple guys on the entire team that are capable of delivering big hits regularly. We may get ten hits, but they are almost all isolated incidents, and we just don't have any boppers who are used to knocking them down when they are set up. And don't expect that to change when Hanley is back, because for as good as he has been as a hitter, he's still not a situational hitter who excels in big situations. This team misses Dan Uggla, Cody Ross, and the good Jorge Cantu.

Look at Polanco...he is a veteran and he hits... but we'll just stick with professional Helms

Yes! Just not the Marlins version of professional veterans, ie cheap reclamation projects.
June 12, 201115 yr Yes, the issue itself is that we are relying on too many young players. The veteran players that the Fish have are simply not good enough to carry the team when the young players struggle.

Honestly, why don't we see more productive hitting?
