Ross gets a start
I couldn’t believe it. A right hander pitching and Cody gets a start. First at bat Cody hits a single over the second baseman, steals second, and goes to third on a throwing error from the catcher. Cody scores a run off a sac fly from Rameriz. Cody makes several great catches in centerfield. There were no diving plays like Amezega had because Ross gets a better jump on the ball. thats just my opinion of course. Marlins go on to win the game 7-3 against the Nationals. The Marlins are now leading the NLE by 1 1/2 games over the Phillies.
Marlins news has a 70 million 6 year deal in the works with Hanley Ramirez. Good move Loria. Bout time you payed players what they are worth. Hanley would be the first person I would want in my new house.
Seems like Cody has done everything in centerfield that is asked of him. We can debate his batting average all day long, but if you don’t play but once a week, your not gonna be on your game. Seems like Fredi would rotate Ross in left field also, although Gonzo is hitting very well. Sitting the bench can be the worst thing for a player and Ross has done that alot. Gotta wonder if something is in the wind. Rotting on the bench is not Cody’s idea of baseball and it shows when he gets a pinch at bat from time to time. Hermida could use a day off. IT seems like the Marlins are balking on Cody for no other reason than a slow start at the plate. But when he starts, he produces more than Amezega. Nothing agains Amezega but you would think they would atleast get equall time in centerfield. Or atleast give Ross a start from time to time in left and right field.
