The Miami Marlins will attempt their first series win of the 2013 season after a rather slow and frustrating start to the season. Pitching for Miami is Kevin Slowey with a 2.19 ERA, and taking the mound for the Phillies is Roy Halladay with a horrendous 14.73 ERA.

 

Will the Marlins capitalize on Halladay's struggles and pull their first series win of the year, or will Halladay find his grove and deal pain to our beloved Marlins? Come join us for the game here at MarlinsBaseball.com and find out.

I'm trying to decide who's worse between Solano and Valaika. I said yesterday's lineup was the worst one I'd ever seen in a big-league game, but today's lineup might actually surpass it.

Hopefully Vailkaka can unseat Solano. I'm starting not to like him on this team.

Valaika isn't good. That game he had at 1B he could've easily been charged with two errors, not one. And he swung at trash all night.

Ruggiano is now in the lineup replacing Kearns

He's not a first baseman though, by no means. That was his first ever game there if I remember and he only practiced 3x there.

Marlins #Marlins lineup vs PHI: Pierre LF, Coghlan CF, Polanco 3B, Dobbs 1B, Kearns RF, Brantly C, Valaika 2B, Hechavarria SS, Slowey P

 

JCRMarlinsbeat RT@MarlinsMedia: #Marlins lineup change : Ruggiano in for Kearns in RF, batting 5th

He's not a first baseman though, by no means. That was his first ever game there if I remember and he only practiced 3x there.

 

 

He isn't very good at 2B either according to his minors numbers and he can't hit. He's not a major league player. He sucks.

It ain't any worse than Loria selling the leftover tickets from that game so he could make a buck off the fact someone threw a perfect game against us.

It's much, much worse.

Holy sh*t, I just found a $100 bill at the bottom of my desk drawer. Its my lucky day, which means Marlins will win!!!

Darn it Pierre, dive harder.

Nice inning for Slowey

Why is Coghlan allowed to swing on a 2-0 pitch

Top of the order doing its job

Why is Coghlan allowed to swing on a 2-0 pitch

 

 

He is a greater liability when he swings the bat than when he doesn't. If he just stood there and never swung, his OBP would be off the wall. He keeps swinging at the worst pitches in the world.

Let's do positive Marlin things!

Mahoney is 1-1 1.000 avg in 4 ab's.
