Marlins rookie Chris Valaika, who started at 1B, said he never played the position before, not even in Little League. He mishandled his first chance for an error.

If they were in another division I'd feel a little sorry for them -- the players and fans, anyway. In the meantime, O_O.

Let's play ball!

i guess jumping from a ball to the majors is nbd

MLB Network's Peter Gammons reports that the Red Sox are among the teams that have "checked in" with the Marlins on OF Giancarlo Stanton.

Nightmare top of the first here

Giancarlo Stanton should be embarressed of himself in how he has played this weekend in Cincy. I know playing for a crooked owner on a bad team is a bad deal, but Stanton has walked around like a zombie all series. 3! errors in the field and probalby should have just been charged for a fourth jogging around and not cutting off a ball then ole's the cut off throw to the pitchers mound. He's just as bad at the plate.

Miami's manager isn't helping leaving his young starter 100 pitches into a game to load the bases with no one out then leave Jon Rauch to pitch his whole way out of the jam on his own only getting pulled after like 50 pitches.

FUGLY.

That is a heck of a homer.

Man, it is a delight to watch Jose Fernandez outpitch Asscole.

he's very good

This team is slugging .321.

rebuilding year

ed lucas

now above '62 Mets' .250 win%

i do appreciate the marlins bringing up ed lucas after 10 years in the minors

i might even like them if they signed john lindsey

lindsey got a cup of coffee with the dodgers in torre's last year, I think

tru

ozunas got a nice arm

he's kind of awesome

8 wins vs the Mets, 10 against everybody else

@baseball_ref
The Marlins (19-46) have faced the easiest schedule in the majors. 23 gms vs. >= .500 tms & 42 vs sub-.500 tms http://t.co/VK3T4a5XUc

Stanton the 10th-youngest guy to hit 100 HR. (From the top: Ott, Conigliaro, Matthews, A-Rod, Andruw, Bench, Pujols, Aaron, Griffey.)

yessss i've been watching that

here's hoping his career lasts longer than conigliaro's

“Just three. My teammates say five. Today I eat three. Tomorrow I eat four, and the next day five, and (then) we leave for Miami.”
—Marlins outfielder Marcell Ozuna, on the number of In-and-Out cheeseburgers he plans to eat during the team’s three-day stay in Los Angeles. (Clark Spencer, Miami Herald)

have won 10 of 13! and none of those were vs the Mets.

They didn't look like any bunch of chumps in the Braves series, that's for sure.

short-lived revival

don't tell paul maholm

jacob turner just tripled

Yelich and Marisnick called up

13 k for fernandez today

http://www.miamiherald.com/2013/07/28/3527423/miami-marlins-hitting-coach-ready.html

Marlins hitting coach Tino Martinez was poised to resign after a player notified the team Martinez erupted in anger unjustly and grabbed him by his neck and neck chain, according to multiple sources.

But sources said team owner Jeffrey Loria, who made the decision to hire Martinez, nixed the idea, at least for now.

One Marlins player, who spoke only on the condition of anonymity, said Martinez has been verbally abusive to players on a number of occasions since the start of spring training in February. A few players have complained to Redmond about Martinez's behavior.

“It’s all shocked everybody,” the player said. “He uses intimidation. It’s been a problem since day one.”

According to sources who have witnessed Martinez's profanity-laced eruptions, other players who have been attacked verbally by Martinez include outfielder Justin Ruggiano, infielder Chris Valaika and minor-league infielder Matt Downs. Another source said the list of players is much larger than that.

justin ruggiano is 0-for his last 35

Matthew Kory, BP:

"Jose Fernandez threw 134 innings last season in High-A. Last night he threw five bringing his season total to 136 1/3. Lucky the Marlins aren't anywhere near a pennant race, huh?"

Sorry guys. I always see this thread pop up when I'm on mobile device interface (since SNA preferences don't carry over) and wish that it was an actual thread about tropical fish flopping all over the place.

or that it was still 2013

can we get the Marlins fan to stop watching the NBA for a sec

it's my thread so i say it's about flopping fish now

The gazelle-like Yelich picked a fine time to do a pratfall on the tying hit last night

jose fernandez's last three starts: 23 IP, 0 ER, 9 H, 2 BB, 32 K

wow.
record for longest streak without coughing up an earned run belongs to Hershiser with 59... so still a ways to go for that one.

fernandez is not from this world

also had an rbi single, took an extra base, and made an awfully slick pump fake on a comebacker to get a runner from third

BJ & Uggla were held out of lineup cuz that would be too sad

I turned that one off mid-game to watch Belle de Jour. But that pump fake and flick to home were siiiiick.

that pump fake was so cold-blooded

:28

love it. shame there's hardly any fans down there to appreciate it.

Awesome flip by Fernandez

didn't see it, but supposedly a marlins ballboy made an incredible play today

quite a pitcher's park this week

17-5 @ home

lol @ keith and gary

Koehler is now 3rd in NL in pitching WAR

Wow, how strong is Stanton? It looks like he got caught flat footed and hit the ball out to center using just his arms.
