February 26, 201214 yr Guillen gave his first team message today before practice... At around 11 a.m. Sunday, all eyes in the Marlins’ organization will be on manager Ozzie Guillen. Somewhere on the backfield, he’ll be encircled by players and club executives and deliver his first message. These things tend to be pretty standard, but Guillen promises to keep his players’ interest piqued. “My expectations are very high,� Guillen said. “I always shoot for the moon and hopefully we get halfway there. I’m going to talk to them about what I expect from them, how we’re going to play the game, how we’re going to respect each other. Stuff off the field, on the field. It’ll be a pretty long one, and they’re going to have a chance to know what we want, what we need.� Among Guillen’s mandates: “Whenever you have anything to say, don’t go behind my back and say it because I’m not going to go behind yours to say it.� He added: “It’s going to be a fun speech for them. I don’t think they’ve heard one before like that.� http://blogs.sun-sen...ay-workout.html
February 26, 201214 yr Team arriving at practice...You could see how good friends Hanley & Reyes are becoming by Hanley waiting up for Reyes... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q7wkNsRRgZ4
February 26, 201214 yr Guillen addressing the team (awesome). Love his style of managing... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FlIIGewVJ6g
February 26, 201214 yr Gaby almost falls off golf cart...Watch at about 40 seconds in. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eG-NB8OhlYA
February 26, 201214 yr As part of Sunday’s first full squad workout, hitters got to see live pitching. Carlos Zambrano threw to a group that included Jose Reyes, Emilio Bonifacio and Hanley Ramirez. The batters were impressed. Afterward, Ramirez told Zambrano he was finishing his pitches much better than last season. Click the link below to watch videos of Reyes & Bonifacio taking live BP against Zambrano (seems like Zambrano was struggling a bit to find the strike zone): http://blogs.sun-sen...f-zambrano.html
February 26, 201214 yr Whoever it was for MLB that decided to put those stripes on all of the BP caps deserves to be hanged. I've been critical of the uniforms/logo, but those white stripes are by far the biggest eyesore in those photos.
February 26, 201214 yr Click the link below to watch a video of the Marlins on CBS4 including some player interviews: http://miami.cbsloca...report-to-camp/
February 26, 201214 yr Keep it up Marlins, great job. Thanks. Some noteworthy news: Outfielder Chris Coghlan left batting practice early after being hit on the right elbow by a pitch. He said he didn't think it was serious. ... Johnson said he felt great after facing hitters in live batting practice for the first time this year.
February 27, 201214 yr I have one question here. WHAT THE f*** IS THIS?! LOL! I was thinking like "What the heck are you doing, Mike? NEVER. NEVER. EVER! Bunt..."
February 27, 201214 yr Video of Marlins coming out of the clubhouse walking to practice... LOL @ Bell a few seconds in..."He doesn't speak English. I'm sorry. Next time!" HAHAHA!!! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7KpE5G4xkSM
February 27, 201214 yr I have one question here. WHAT THE f*** IS THIS?! I never want to see this again.
February 27, 201214 yr I have one question here. WHAT THE f*** IS THIS?! I never want to see this again. LOL I guess they all have to work on it, but I can't think of one situation where this would be a good idea.
February 27, 201214 yr Well Ozzie did say he was looking for quanity of home runs instead of moon shots ...... maybe this is stantons 390 stroke
February 27, 201214 yr Obviously he's trying a new tactic to confuse the opposing pitcher. When the ball hits his bat, it still lands over the fence.
February 27, 201214 yr Maybe he's not a fan of the new HR sculpture so he decided he's going to start bunting his way on base...
