During last evenings youtube perusals I ran across this video of the guy that has caught more balls at MLB games than any other.  This kid is ridiculous.

When is the last time you saw that headline after 12 games? The Marlins swept the Nationals and then lost two out of three agains the Astros.

 The Marlins lost the game today against the Astros 5-1 with a Willingham home run (three for the year). But the good news was our new young pitcher brought up after Vandenhurk was sent back down after two bad starts. Burke Badenhop gave up 7 hits over five innings, two of which were home runs to start his first game in the big leauges. He threw strikes and had good movement on the ball. Looks like he won himself a starting position in the line up. Burke was part of the Willis Cabrera trade with the Tigers. Looks like that trade wasn’t so bad. Willis is not pitching so well and is now on the DL with an overextended knee injury.

 Cody Ross started in centerfield today going 3 for 4 and a stolen base. IF the wind had not been blowing in he would have had a home run. His fly out was also a long ball, so Cody settles for a double and two singles. Hmmmmm, that double was off a righty…..I think he had a single off a righy also.  Way to go Cody! Looks like your groovin!

Home runs and solid relief pitching beat the Nationals tonite 10-7 in their new stadium. Hanley belted a three run homer, Uggla hit a solo home run to get out of his 0 fer 18. Andino added a two run homer in the ninth give the Marlins the 10-7 win.

Andrew Miller only went 3 1/3 innings for the Fish giving up 3 runs. Pinto, Miller and Gregg pitched multiple innings to save the game. Pinto got his first win. Gregg got his first save.

Marlins are now 4-3 for the season with a day off resuming play against the Nationals on Wed.  Cody came into the game in the 8th inning playing right field. He went 0-1. Atleast he is hitting the ball. A ground out to the shortstop.  

The Marlins played real baseball tonite beating the Pirates 7-3. Hanley started the game off with a solo home run. Later in the game Jacobs coming off a walk off home run last night hits a grand slam to take the lead over the Pirates 5-1. Brett Carrol bobbles a ball in right field and throws the guy out at second. Later in the game Carrol hits a tripple and then scores on a squeeze play with Traynor batting a great bunt. This is actually looking like a ball team. Hendrickson goes 6 1/3 innings with a run given up. The bullpen is smoking with Pinto, Kensing, Miller and Lindstrom closing the game out. Its that simple folks. Yea right! Cody goes 1-4 with a double off the wall in the eighth. Ross hit long outs all night. Its just a matter of time. Trust me. Marlins now lead the NLE. After the game Marlins found out that we have Wel Helms back. Wow. Maybe Wes can repeat what he did in 06. Sad to say that Jason Woods will go back to ALb. I think that is a good move by the Marlins with Cantu not doing so well at third……. I wonder what happened to Hermida, who was supposed to play tonite with the Marlins.

 After the show from Jacobs with the walk off home run last night and the grand slam tonight, he might be a shoe in for batting third. I agree with Tommy that Hermida needs to proove his worth  before he gets the spot. If you look at Jacobs bats in the last couple of games, he is smoking the ball. You might call Jacobs a streaky hitter, We have all dealt with that. I say leave Jacobs batting third untill Hermida can proove his worth.

Was that a right hander that Cody got his double off of? Yea I think it was. How the heck did that happen? Cody can only hit left handers. Sssso much for that fiasco platoon situation with Amezega. Fredi: leave Ross in the game so he can get into his game. I could go on about this subject all night. Uggla comes to mind.
