Posted April 21, 201312 yr Ok, so 4-15 sounds bad, but things are not as bad as they seem. We play the Twins next, and they are a mediocre team, so we have a chance of winning our first series of the year. At any rate, we have improved our winning percentage as the month has gone on. We were on track to win 21 games 2 weeks ago, and now we are on track to win around 30+ games. If we keep improving at that rate every month, we will have a 70+ win year. Stanton will wake up soon. He is healthy this year and he will carry the team on his back once he wakes up in May. Imagine Stanton going on a season long slam fest now that he is healthy. If that happens ...look out because the sky is the limit. And if Loria brings up our AAA talent from Jacksonville for the second half, look out. Can anyone say 80+ win season? Maybe even a higher average than .500 wins? I know it sounds crazy, but I swear is not the liquor talking. I only had 6 beers during the game. Where other see gloom, I see a lot of upside. Don't sell these Marlins short. We are the Fish!!!
April 21, 201312 yr Author Laugh at me now, but I am 100% confident this thread will be revived at the end of the year and everyone will compliment me on my shear genius prediction.
April 21, 201312 yr Author Are you bipolar? No. I have to admit until recently I was extremely disappointed too, but I have seen a few glimmers of hope in this series. We can hit, and we are hitting the ball hard again. Look at all those runs we are scoring lately!!! That's major progress. A few days ago most of us would think some of those numbers we've been putting up would have been impossible. We were wrong! So I'm not ready to write off this team anymore as I was a few days ago.

You're obviously on crack, or trolling.
April 21, 201312 yr You're right. I thought we still had only won 2 games up until now. When I realized it was 4 I felt better.
April 21, 201312 yr Author No, I'm not trolling. Has everyone here completely given up? You don't feel any happiness about the fact that our offense is finally scoring runs?
April 21, 201312 yr Don't let those 6 runs fool you. Reds were up 10 - 3. They're pitcher got down and the count and because they were up so much said here it is hit it. Olivo did to his credit. Otherwise it's another 2-3 run game.

This is one of the worst lineups in baseball in a very long time. That they can't score a run to save their lives was expected. They also have a dreadful starting 5. That they have a decent team ERA is pretty unexpected. I would not expect them to get much better unless they manage to hoodwink some team into trading 3 top prospects for Stanton.
April 22, 201312 yr There is no cause for concern for the Marlins baseball team. We are pitching well and hitting better. This team is going to be winning in no time. Never fear in the power of Mike Stanton, he will be adding to his many home runs already hit. Ricky Nolasco will be adding to his many victories already achieved. The Marlins are the top team in the division.

April 22, 201312 yr Congrats on the baby, but we've all seen your shit before, nobody cares about that.
April 22, 201312 yr For whatever it's worth...going off memory and not looking at the stats to be sure, pitching wise get rid of LeBlanc and Rauch. Line up wise....Ruggz is Ruggz. Cogs has been getting a tad better, but not enough to escape his soon to be AAA status. Just bring up younger guys and Petersen as well. 4-15.
April 22, 201312 yr I have seen zero improvement in doing the little things correctly that a small ball team needs to do. Until that happens...................
