Marlins Way: Miami Marlins Offense Still Struggling

blogdig.net — 2013-05-18T06:30:21-04:00

Going into their game Friday night against the Arizona Diamondbacks, the Miami Marlins offense was averaging just a measly 2.8 runs a game. Hitting coach Tino Martinez had not an easy going in his first job as a coach in Major League baseball, but he is not to blame for the Marlins issues. The team’s issues start [...]Marlins Way: Miami Marlins Offense Still Struggling - Marlin Maniac - Marlin Maniac - A Miami Marlins Fan Site - News, Blogs, Opinion and More

Fish Cap: Miami Marlins 2, Arizona Diamondbacks 9

First it was Shin-Soo Choo, next it was Paul Goldschmidt. They waltz into your town, hit eight home runs, and maybe get on-base a few more times after that. They are the grim reapers of baseball.Tonight's slaughter reminded me of a scene from a small indie film that came out a decade or so ago. A character asked a simple, but poignant question. To paraphrase, how should one respond in the face of overwhelming horror? So much death. What can men do against such reckless hate?

James Shields Officially Hates His Teammates Now; Royals Fall 2-1

blogdig.net — 2013-05-18T02:01:24-04:00

James Shields looked like the true ace the Royals meant to acquire, going eight innings, tying a season high with nine strikeouts, walking just one, and sprinkling six hits and just two runs. But by old school conventional logic, James Shields was a loser because he just didn't have THE WILL TO WIN tonight, as his efforts led to a 2-1 Royals loss.The Royals managed just five hits of offense all night. They had just three runners in scoring position all night. Of the seven baserunners they had

Heyward Returns, Upton Slams Braves Past Dodgers

blogdig.net — 2013-05-18T00:01:24-04:00

It was a seesaw game for most of the night at Turner Field, as Atlanta and Los Angeles traded the lead four times. The Braves ultimately came out on top, mostly thanks to Justin Upton's monstrous grand slam as well as an excellent first game back from Jason Heyward. Paul Maholm didn't pitch particularly well, but was the beneficiary of Atlanta's eight-run outburst on the way to his fifth win of year.The Dodgers scored first in the second inning, taking advantage of a leadoff double by A.J.

In flies Captain Collision Jimmy Paredes. Don't believe me? Check this out.As you can see Jake Elmore calls for the ball but Captain Collision, who earlier this week dislocated Jose Altuve's jaw after running into him, decided he was not having any of this infielder calling for the ball nonsense and proceeded to save the
