Marte’s injury sounds like it’ll be a long-term IL stint. I don’t see how we’ll overcome that injury.

[Nick]

Thank God we still have Lewis Brinson.

How the f do you break a rib on a swing?

Marte’s injury sounds like it’ll be a long-term IL stint. I don’t see how we’ll overcome that injury.

Austin Hays of the Orioles had the same injury last year and missed 4 weeks.

I'm sure we will call up Brinson but I would rather give Harrison, Sanchez, or even Brian Miller a shot in CF though.

A Berti/Sierra platoon also wouldn't be the worst option.

Another option could be to try Dickerson in CF, allowing both Cooper and Duvall to be in the lineup at the same time. The CF defense would take a hit, but it's our best chance to make up for Marte's bat.

[Nick]

Is Dickerson a better option for CF than even Duvall? I haven't been impressed with any aspect of Dickerson's defensive game since he's been here.

I'm almost positive it'll be a mix of Sierra/Berti/Brinson until somebody emerges or Marte comes back.

[Todd]

Not Marlins related but I have enjoyed watching the Blue Jays games in Dunedin.

I know the ballpark is small but it is absolutely gorgeous and looks stunning on TV.

[Nick]

Dickerson sucks, I’m sorry.

[Namaste]

That ball was in the air for 6 full seconds

I see a pattern forming with Nicky N

[Namaste]

But it’s the Orioles so we don’t have to worry about losing

[Nick]

I can't believe he caught that. Son of a bitch.

[Nick]

Ump really fucked Neidert there. Mancini was k’d, didn’t call it.

fucking christ matitngly. takes out jazz in the fucking 4th inning for a double switch to avoid paul Campbell having to hit once? Does it get more short sighted than taking out your best hitter to avoid the long reliever having to hit once? absolute mismanagement yet again from mattingly.

[Madman81]

Another goddamn double switch with jazz. Just give away an out and let campbell fucking hit if you want to leave him in so badly

[fish16]

any time you can take out your best hitter in the event your worst pitcher even manages to make it out of more than one inning you have to do it

[Namaste]

It’s unfricking real man
