Posted September 14Sep 14 comment_1899730 ALL MARLINS TRIVIA PURSUIT # 5 You know the rules, you all have been great so far. Good luck!! 1) What Marlin took a fastball up & in only to hit a HR in the same at bat vs what pitcher in the World Series? 2) Name the Marlin who never wore batting gloves as a hitter? (If there is more than one, it must be the player I’m thinking lol) 3) What Marlin coach was fired and replaced by Jack McKeon? 4) Marlins drafted and traded what pitcher that went on to be a 2x CY winner and is a ballot on the HOF? 5) The last name of what Marlin was referenced when error(s) occurred after his ALL-STAR performance? 6) What Marlin often times wore a hat/cap under his batting helmet?

So just going off the top of my head of course and not looking up any answers and just relying on vague memories. 1) What Marlin took a fastball up & in only to hit a HR in the same at bat vs what pitcher in the World Series? I want to say Miguel Cabrera vs Roger Clemons 2) Name the Marlin who never wore batting gloves as a hitter? (If there is more than one, it must be the player I’m thinking lol) Moises Alou? 3) What Marlin coach was fired and replaced by Jack McKeon? Jeff Torborg 4) Marlins drafted and traded what pitcher that went on to be a 2x CY winner and is a ballot on the HOF? That’s a hard one.. because I know that a lot of great pitchers played for the Marlins in the past.. I think I vaguely remember hearing something bout Johan Santana being drafted by the Marlins but never played for them.. he could fit the bill of that question, but honestly I don’t remember if he won any Cy Young awards. So I’m not confident enough just based off the top of my head to give an answer. So I will skip giving an answer for this question. 5) The last name of what Marlin was referenced when error(s) occurred after his ALL-STAR performance? Somehow I’m thinking Dan Uggla for some reason so I’ll go with that as my answer. 6) What Marlin often times wore a hat/cap under his batting helmet? No idea.

September 16Sep 16 comment_1899772 1) What Marlin took a fastball up & in only to hit a HR in the same at bat vs what pitcher in the World Series? Miguel Cabrera vs that piece of shit Roger Clemens. 2) Name the Marlin who never wore batting gloves as a hitter? (If there is more than one, it must be the player I’m thinking lol) Did he pee pee on his hands? Moises Alou 3) What Marlin coach was fired and replaced by Jack McKeon? Jeff Torborg and if you wanan get technical Brandon Hyde 4) Marlins drafted and traded what pitcher that went on to be a 2x CY winner and is a ballot on the HOF? Johan Santana in the Rule 5 draft. 5) The last name of what Marlin was referenced when error(s) occurred after his ALL-STAR performance? Uggla 6) What Marlin often times wore a hat/cap under his batting helmet? Juan Pierre, because he was the reverse Barroid Bonds.
September 16Sep 16 comment_1899773 IIRC Johan was an astros pitcher and he was drafted with the sole purpose of being sent to Minnesota

September 18Sep 18 Author comment_1899813 Shutting this one down. Best results so far but not much participation. BOX SCORE: 6-6 ANSWERS: (With your explanations) 1. Miggy & Clemens. If you had to know wether a rookie would become a HOF, this at bat was the best example I can think of. 2.Moises Moist Alou. It’s true he did moist his hands with urine. 3.Jeff Torborg and if you wanan get technical Brandon Hyde. Nice play here Piazza31. Hyde was a brief manager before they hired McKeon. 5.Johan Santana in the Rule 5 draft. 4.UGGLA. Poor parents. Do you think they named him Cooley because they knew Uggla would be problematic. 6. Juan Pierre, because he was the reverse Barroid Bonds. Yep. Five weeks in and I think I have a feel for what posters resemble what Marlin players. @SirFishFan Gotta go with Derek Lee. Solid player who contributes has a lot of upside but needs to believe in himself more. Striking out is ok sometimes. @Michael Gary Sheffield. Guys a stud probably the best hitter in Marlins history. @Piazza31 Who else, Mike Piazza. HOF not the best catcher but his bat was elite. @hovertical I’m a bit reserved on this one but right now Im thinking Moises Alou. Guy is underrated but he’s probably the scariest out to get of all the great Marlins. Need to see more though. @pollythewog Jazz because he doesn’t show up & is emotional. If others want comps then you gotta play. Edited September 18Sep 18 by K-Jazzzz
