Ahhh here's my Latos vote. Can't go with Hech for his defensive plays, that pretty double on Friday and because sucking is the norm for him. Latos literally had the worst third of an inning of his life.

 

 

Latos bombed it but Hech had some at bats to make something happen and didn't do anything. I voted for Hech.

 

 

The offense (or lack thereof)... too many blown bases loaded opportunities... Bullpen gets honorable mention

 

 

Jarad Saltalamacchia. Outside of his homerun today, he's been just putrid, and unlike Hech, his defense has not come anywhere close to making up for it. Mat Latos makes a close second, but he's only responsible for blowing one game.

​this was my thinking as well. Latos would have been it, but again, it was only one game that he stunk in while Salts has been disgusting all week.

 

 

I'm not really trying to turn this into a serious debate but Latos absolutely blew 100% of his opportunities this week, regardless if it was just one game. Hech had a nice rbi double and several good looking defensive plays... Salty hit the first and so far only home run of the season... both of them did "something" right despite all that they did wrong. Latos did not one thing right in his appearance!

 

I'm not saying Hech and Salty had great weeks but Latos clearly had the worst performance of the week.

 

Oh my god I can't believe I'm trying to convince people of who was the worst Marlin ...

 

 

I voted Salty because Salty. But the vote could have gone to anyone. God, I hope this is just the team working out the kinks, because otherwise, this board should change it's name to www.marlinssuicidewatch.com

 

 

Just to show you how skewed casual fans think... I spoke to a coworker today who went to a game this weekend and the quote I got from her was "All that money that they gave to Stanton should have gone to Yelich instead."

​Clearly, the only reasonable response is to fuck her mom.

 

 

I voted Stanton. Sue me.

 

​He's been on base plenty because of the walks. Pitchers are staying away from him because they know the rest of our team isn't going to do shit.

 

The answer is Adeiny Hechavarria. 1-22.

 

 

​There was exactly one game in which any pitcher was afraid of him. And the answer is not Hechavarria; he has sucked at the plate, but he has kept three games within reach with incredible defensive plays. Stanton had one great defensive play, but has been unbelievably lame at the plate, and it's his primary job to produce.

 

​Stanton virtually cannot produce if the rest of the lineup around him isn't producing. Either the opposing pitchers will pitch around him or he himself will try and do to much and then ultimately fail in key spots as he did this weekend. Stanton's production weights very heavily on the production of those around him.

 

 

Just seven games ago Stanton got a ball that hurt him. Fucking hurt him.

 

I don't really blame him if it takes him a month or so before he's eclipsing Mike Trout.

​So this is lying?

He's not getting shit to hit because guys aren't getting in scoring position in front of him. Simple as that. And that's no fault of his own, it's the fault of the rest of our underachieving lineup. He has had seven ABs with RISP. He has two hits and a double in those ABs. Otherwise he is 3 for 19 because he presses and tries to do too much.
