Catching, relief top Marlins wish list - 07/15/2008

Thu, 17 Jul 2008 03:58:38 +1900

The Marlins are evaluating available veteran relievers and would be open to adding a quality arm before the July 31 nonwaiver trade deadline. But though they would like a solution at catcher, they are not enamored with available options, especially offensively, and aren't optimistic about finding a clear upgrade to Matt Treanor. The Marlins have no interest in Washington's Paul Lo Duca and ...

Josh Johnson gets a haircut

Thu, 24 Jul 2008 19:33:45 +1900

Josh Johnson is sporting a new do . Starter Josh Johnson walked into the Marlins' clubhouse on Friday without his trademark curly hair. Instead, at his manager's request, he had his hair trimmed short. I really wish the club would quit doing this. If a pitcher is more comfortable pitching with hair down to his butt, then fine -- just so long as he gets results. The ...

I'm sorry, what? The Marlins like playing in front of no one?

Thu, 24 Jul 2008 14:31:22 +1900

Let me lead off with a quote from the Miami Herald: Yes, it is a bummer for this pennant contender that folks aren't in the stands. But it also is a blessing the few sets of eyes on them are either looking through a rosy prism or not really paying attention. That is an advantage only the Marlins enjoy. This seems so absolutely foreign to me, I don't even know where I'd begin to break this

Small crowds might help keep pressure off Marlins

Thu, 24 Jul 2008 11:59:00 +1900

The Marlins are living in that sweet spot of success, that fertile place where expectations remain low and the scrutiny is still bearable. The Mets and Phillies long ago vacated that friendly place, so we freely discuss the Mets' awful clubhouse chemistry and gauge the love-hate relationship between the Phillies and their fans -- the ones who booed Mike Schmidt.

Based on Ramirez's initial reaction to the question, the theory that Derby participation is detrimental to hitting health was not lost on him. He didn't need reminding how three years ago Bobby Abreu had an epic Derby performance at Detroit's Comerica Park after an 18-homer first half. Then with the Phillies , Abreu went deep just six times after the break. "It will wear the player out," ...

Just how Rick VandenHurk drew it up, huh? Five shutout innings of no-hit ball with five walks, including three in a row to open the fourth. Give the kid credit for getting out of a tight jam, but Jeff Francoeur did him a huge favor swinging through three shoulder-high fastballs for the first out. What happened to that guy? Four pitchers combined on the ninth one-hitter in franchise ...
