June 22, 201610 yr Shame on the offense for relying on a fernandez and Hechavarria RBI hit. The DP King and Scranton are not cutting it. That's right. No more mention of stanton. He is relegated to a lowly city in Pennsylvania. Don't send him here to Lancaster... Send him to Reading, it's a shithole
June 22, 201610 yr Don't send him here to Lancaster... Send him to Reading, it's a shithole If Stanton doesn't listen to bonds, then I surely can't expect him to read pitches that well either. Maybe he should go to reading....or buy some eye glasses
June 22, 201610 yr Jon Lester, lackey, and hammel vs. Scranton. If cervenka can manage to strike out Stanton twice, take a gander at this weekend. He ain't seen nothing yet.
June 22, 201610 yr I really rather Stanton got injured and we started Ichiro and our best minor league right fielder,even without the "super long HR" at least we would got much better "put the ball in play" chance,really enough is enough !!
June 22, 201610 yr Let me guess. A scheduled day off for Scranton tomorrow. Day off for STANTON would do much better to us than day off for BIG BEAR !!
June 22, 201610 yr Im still furious at that moronic call by Mattingly to take Barraclough out. Dunn is a solid pitcher but he is not the kind of lefty you rely on to get lefties out. He's not a Javier Lopez or Oliver Perez. He has a flat fastball and a decent slider. In fact, he used to use a big winding curveball that was effective but he doesn't anymore. He just threw a 94mph fastball that was flat as can be and down the middle. Its also really deflating as a fan to watch us play well for a week and then lose a Fernandez start to a terrible team and watch Stanton flail at a pitch nowhere close for the 100000 time. Mets may have gotten swept but its different to just lose rather than have like 4 blown saves in 7 games against them.
June 22, 201610 yr You know what ? I am no more asking Stanton to hit for HR ,I am only asking him to put the ball in play now but that seems be asking for too much,too.
June 22, 201610 yr We always lost to the Braves before that's due to they're better than us,but now we're better than them but why we're still always lost to them ? if they're really so good they should be 46-24 now and not 24-46.
June 22, 201610 yr We're secured the wild card spot for only ONE DAY,and that's not surprising me at all.
June 22, 201610 yr Jose was 99 pitches to through 7 innings,what if he pitched the 8th inning? I know Phelps was good,but always less pitchers less risk.
June 22, 201610 yr And the Nationals just blew it in the 8th too. Cards,Mutts and Doyers all win,so sad.
June 22, 201610 yr That one is on Don Mattingly. Obviously phelps made a bad pitch but that's going to happen. Just seems to happen against the braves more than anyone else. But bringing in Dunn there was reminiscent of the Breslow days when you just knew it was over as he ran onto the field.
June 22, 201610 yr The point is that this team can't be good if Stanton plays like shit. So every Marlins fan should be hating on him. Because he's garbage right now. Bottom line.And I don't have a history of hating Stanton. Just stating facts, he's been shit this year. In the past, it's 4-2 in the 8th inning. He's been so garbage this year that opposing managers no longer care to leave a lefty in to face him because they're more concerned with Bour. Stanton is the main reason why this team hasn't taken off. This is true. I love the guy but he's the reason we can't stay over the hump.
June 22, 201610 yr Seriously, if you would've told me that Stanton was going to be doing this after 71 games, I would've said season over. It says a lot about this team that we're still relevant with the way Stanton has played. Silver lining: if he actually heats up anytime soon we could surprise people.
June 22, 201610 yr I was at the game and declared it over the minute Dunn came in That's what that smell was.
June 22, 201610 yr This game made me feel physically ill. You can blame Mattingly all you want but if you really want to blame someone for Dunn being there it's Lorias fault for not going out to get someone better. I was going to go to the game today but after yesterday my heart can't take it.
June 22, 201610 yr lefty OPS against mike dunn this year = 1.186 righty OPS against mike dunn this year = .368 Smooth move Don
