May 1, 201214 yr I think it is unfortunate that Coghlan was demoted, because a platoon with him may have worked well. Huh? How? I'm sad to say but Cogs looked absolutely terrible at the plate. Wasn't a big sample size, but 4 for 34 with a .143 OBP in 19 games is pretty freaken bad. He had the lowest BA, OBP, SLG, OPS, etc. among all starters on the team-and our offense has been pathetic; were currently second to last in the league in runs scored. Sending Cogs down to the minors was really a no-brainer.
May 1, 201214 yr Ozzie promised a drastic change, but lineup is the same tonight save Hayes is starting in place of Buck. Must not be the change he means. Guess he realized there's nothing he can do when the entire team is slumping.
May 1, 201214 yr I like Petey, he can cover the OF very well and has a great arm. But can't see him just suddenly jumping in the lineup and giving us much spark offensively. He's not really known for his bat. That said, can't be too worse than what Cogs was doing at the plate. Kinda saw this change coming anyway. I don't mind LoMo doing some 1st. You can run Dobbs at 1st too some or LF and RF. Gaby -----> .205 avg OBP .234. Ouch. Not going to put it all on Gaby though, it's pretty much across the board sans maybe LoMo and Infante. yes .205 ave. but 2nd on the team with 8RBI 2nd on the Team with 8XBH first with 7doubles 3rd with 25TB his 3rd with 285 NP with only 77PA hitting 7th most of the time in the line up he has had a bad month ,but he carry this team last year in April May June lets give him some slack .this board is all about putting him down . Lets move Lomo to 1st remember you don't know what you have until you lose it and this team does it allot and this board does it all the time .This kid is a team Player and a good player at his position and a good bat to have .I predicted making the team ,I predicted All Star and Now I'll predict MBP.

Guess he realized there's nothing he can do when the entire team is slumping. Well, he could have made a WTF lineup for a night. Like... Stanton, Pitcher, Buck, Infante, Reyes, Hanley, Bonifacio, Morrison, Gaby... lol.
May 1, 201214 yr Ozzie in his post game interview promised drastic changes will be made and they will be contemplated during the "long six hours flight". Let the speculation begin? I think it's going to be lineup shifts and position shifts. LoMo to first on a platoon basis, Peterson into LF platooning with LoMo, (6 games a week for LoMo) Hanley in the two hole with LoMo hitting third and Stanton dropped to 8th in the order with reyes at 7th. Bell will probably be sent to the DL with "lower leg" problems. Sanchez playing time diminished until he picks up 3B again and starts hitting. The promised drastic changes Ozzie made was Bell and Staton
May 2, 201214 yr Author Ozzie promised a drastic change, but lineup is the same tonight save Hayes is starting in place of Buck. Must not be the change he means. He also said on Lebatard show that Bell is not this teams closer until he makes adjustments and throws strikes. That's pretty drastic.

If he had said that, I'd imagine it would be on the internet by now.

That would be big news not only because of the huge contract Bell signed but also due to the fantasy baseball implications. I see nothing about this anywhere (makes sense to me though).

May 2, 201214 yr How much does April mean? In 2011 the #Marlins had their best April in franchise history going 16-9. The team finished last in the NL East April games mean as much as games any other month. I bet teams that begin the season 0-0 have a much better chance of making the playoffs than teams that begin 8-14.

May 2, 201214 yr Author Ozzie implied he wanted to see location and ability out of Bell to REGAIN his job, and said for tonight especially not to see Bell in the 9th due to the number of pitches he threw. He also said he was impressed by Cishek this year and would have to discuss with his pitching coach how the staff shapes up. That's what I heard.
May 2, 201214 yr Author Also- Ozzie said he's been sleeping like a baby during this slump were in. Waking up every two hours and crying. Harharharharhar. Pretty funny
May 2, 201214 yr Maybe the changes he meant was that they would start winning, instead of losing. The fact is that these are just words to the media.
May 2, 201214 yr Yeah, drastic changes my buthole. Team is just in a slump. No "huge" changes need to be made.
May 2, 201214 yr i wouldnt mind trading for a solid outfielder and putting morrison at first and sitting gaby. though i like gaby's defense his approach and swing anger me beyond belief. i love when he just flails at a high fastball and then places his bat and helmet on the ground and makes the stupid stern face into the camera while taking off his gloves. .......and then swings at the same pitches the next time up and makes the face all over again. i wanted him gone all of last off-season. This is the same guy Mike Lowell said could "smell the rbi". my ass. HAHAHA...I've said it before he is the guy with the least swag in the MLB
May 2, 201214 yr Man would this have blown up on his face if Bell loses tonight's game, maybe even be on a short leash?
May 2, 201214 yr I bet teams that begin the season 0-0 have a much better chance of making the playoffs than teams that begin 8-14. you just blew my mind
