What a bunch of sore losers, an even bigger reason to hate the Braves. Hope this lights a fire on the Marlins asses!

At least two major league advance scouts have noticed with suspicious eyes that the Marlins are batting 30 points higher at home than on the road.

Former Marlins Justin Ruggiano and John Baker give credit to the Marlins' improved offense, but Baker intimated the Cubs would take precautionary measures before Monday night's series opener.

"We'll have to make sure there aren't more extra cameras going in, but we'll take a look when we get there," Baker said Sunday. "I don't think there is (any sign stealing). We do change our signs a lot."

The Marlins, who were last in the National League in hitting last year with a .231 average, are batting .275 at home and .245 on the road.

Ruggiano cited the health of slugger Giancarlo Stanton, the emergence of former Cubs infielder Casey McGehee — whom Ruggiano called an All-Star — the experience of Reed Johnson and the development of Christian Yelich as reasons for the improvement.

"We were last in everything," recalled Ruggiano, who played the last two seasons with the Marlins. "No excuses. The rest of the guys have figured out just to put the ball in play more, and good things happen."

Marlins BABIP is second (rockies) in baseball. If you gave them a league average BABIP, they would be bottom 5 in the league in hitting.

Sometimes the hits just land. Get over it. Enjoy the regression which is no doubt coming.
