Marlins @ Rays, 5/25-26

[Erick]

I don't know how we win that game with that line up and Nicolino starting

Encouraging line by him, though

Their two best relievers were unavailable.

Our bullpen won the game.

[nny]

I mean, I'd set the over/under for us at 0 runs with that line up, and 8 for them with Nicolino on the mound.

Congratulations to Nicolino for doubling his K/BB on the season from 0.5 to 1.0. And doubling it helped him jump from last place in the majors to...last place in the majors.

Koehler better be careful, Nicolino might jump his 4th worst status

today's lineup:

1. hech
2. prado
3. ozuna
4. realmuto
5. gillespie
6. johnson
7. dietrich
8. rojas
9. mathis

barf. should have let jose hit.

[Nick]

ooof, but I mean with a lefty and both Yelich and Stanton out, not much you can do. Only thing i really dislike is Hech batting leadoff, that doesn't make any sense, put Realmuto in there he did well in his short stint as leadoff man. Hopefully Dietrich in LF doesn't end up being a disaster.

[Namaste]

Makes sense to have a guy with a .274 OBP leading off.

Bryan Morris on DL with disc hernation and Wittgren back up

Loria needs to invest in a chiropractor fast

[Nick]

Hech hits a 2-run HR right in our faces.

[el nino]

Watching without access to audio. What happened with Jose? It looked like he fist pumped after forcing a popup for out number three. I'm guessing Rays players reacted to that? Which would be completely silly.

[Namaste]

Makes sense to have a guy with a .274 OBP leading off.

Of course he hit a HR.

Of course.



He's still the worst but I'm happy the Marlins are winning.

Now Hechavarria will lead off for a week until he goes 0 for 12.

[Namaste]

The Braves have won more games at Marlins Park than they have at Turner Field.

Glenn Geffner just declared Jose this winner of this game in the bottom of the 8th.

Loria needs to invest in a chiropractor fast

Hope he is alright.

[tjfla]

I wonder what we could get for Stanton

[HUGG]

The Marlins are 14-15 (.483) since 2013 when Hechavarria leads off. They're 221-298 (.426) when he does not.

Which is a total coincidence, but hilarious.

Hech is a career .724ops hitting 8th and under .600 in every other spot (except 4th, he pinch hit once and singled).
