Late Blogservations today, I apologize. Let’s get right to this mess .
The bullpen, oh the bullpen…
In what was otherwise a tight matchup between two evenly matched starters, what broke the Marlins last night was the performance of their bullpen. Burke Badenhop allowed two hits ...
Blogservations 06/21/09, Marlins 6, Yankees 5
marlinmaniac.com 6/22/2009 — One hell of a way to finish a series, huh? The Marlins take it 6-5 in a nailbiter over the Yankees. At least Matt Lindstrom made it a nailbiter in 9th, but we’ll talk about that in a bit. Let’s get to some observations.
Chris Volstad looked vastly improved tonight.

Blogservations 06/24/09, Marlins 5, Orioles 2
marlinmaniac.com 6/25/2009 — Great win tonight by the Marlins over the Orioles . Every aspect of the game went our way and we were witness to a nice, smooth, non-one-run victory, something that seems a long time coming. Let’s take a look at what I saw.
Ricky Nolasco was dealing 2008-style.
Seems like it’s ...
Blogservations, Marlins-Nationals series
marlinmaniac.com 7/2/2009 — I know I wasn’t able to get a Blogservations piece for the first two games of the series, but I figured I’ll put up some quick analysis for the series in general in this installment of Blogservations. If I miss out on a series game or two, expect a series recap Blogservations piece ...
Blogservations 06/28/09, Rays 5, Marlins 2
marlinmaniac.com 6/28/2009 — A dissapointing end to a Rays sweep of the Marlins at the Trop. Still, other than today’s game, you can make the argument that the Marlins matched toe-to-toe with the team with the best run differential in the American League, so you can’t be too disappointed with the way the team ...
Florida Marlins: Back to to the breakeven point
blogs.sun-sentinel.com 6/24/2009 — Not the way the Marlins drew it up, but Tuesday they won for the seventh time in 10 games and are back at .500 (36-36) for the first time since May 13. Nice little rebound job -- both Tuesday and over the last month -- as the Marlins as recently as ...
Fantasy Baseball: Florida Marlins Closer Situation
mvn.com 6/26/2009 — On Wednesday, the Florida Marlins placed closer Matt Lindstrom on the 15-day DL due to a sprained right elbow. He reportedly has been given an order to not throw for four weeks, meaning he may not return until August. ...
Blogservations, Marlins Save the Season against the Phillies
marlinmaniac.com 8/10/2009 — Coming off the crippling three-game sweep at the hands of the Washington Nationals, the Marlins really needed to win two out of three games to remain squarely in the hunt. I’m not a big believer of the “critical series,” but if there was ever a series that I would circle, given ...
Blogservations 06/23/09, Marlins 7, Orioles 6
marlinmaniac.com 6/24/2009 — I was more than happy to see the Marlins take the win over the Orioles tonight, but let’s face it, wins like these are so gutwrenching and agonizing that it makes me sick just reminscing about it. Nevertheless, a win’s a win, and the Marlins pull into .500 with some self-inflicted ...
Blogservations 07/24/09, Marlins 6, Dodgers 3
marlinmaniac.com 7/25/2009 — I couldn’t be happier with the Marlins’ victory last night over the Dodgers. It was a hard-fought win, a close game, and the Marlins did what they needed to do to get the victory. On to the observations.
JJ with another solid outing.
Josh Johnson didn’t produce his best ...
Blogservations 06/25/09, Marlins 11, Orioles 3
marlinmaniac.com 6/26/2009 — This will be a quick Blogservations, as I was not able to watch much of this shellacking of a game that the Marlins slapped on the Orioles. The Fish come out with a three game sweep and head to Tampa Bay looking to avenge the ugly affair that was a three-game sweep of the Marlins at Land Shark ...
