• The Marlins and Phillies both come in 4-6 in their last 10.
  The Marlins 52 home-runs rank them 13th overall, the Phillies 53 rank them 12th overall.
  Chris Volstad has not recorded a win since May 7th (@Wash)
  Mike Stanton will be making his major league debut tonight, when he is not hitting home-runs, Mr. Stanton is expected to cure cancer and find a solution to world hunger.

I like that we have a left handed batter worth a damn now that CC has pulled his head out of his ass, because Kendrick can't get them out.

There's some serious power in our 5-7.

[Swifty]

Also, don't know if this is something he usually does - judging by the beat writers' reactions, I'd say no - but Hanley is taking EARLY BP.

Yeah, the Stanton promotion lit a fire. I like it.

[MiamiHomer]

I wish the batting practice show for MLB network would have been on to show Stanton take BP.
