I went yesterday to the game and that honestly was rock bottom for this team. They lost the game on the 2nd pitch of the game when Josh Johnson makes ONE mistake and Rollins takes him yard. That was it. I should of gotten up from my seat and gone home at that point but I wanted to see the major league debut of Rob Brantly.
He caught a pretty decent game but he is still waiting for that first hit. What I see in Brantly (could of been nerves) was desperation in his swing. Trying to do too much which really did build on the team during this 30 inning streak. The change ups were killing them. The Marlins were SO desperate to get that run that they were flailing all over the changeups that Capuano, Hamels, and Kendrick were feeding them. Finally it ended when the Dobbers drove in Lee in the 4th inning today off of Roy Halladay of course (because baseball is a funny game)
Then, even better, the Marlins actually score 6 runs in the 8th inning! I had to see it to believe it! At that point I went off to buy a Powerball ticket, because obviously I'm going to win the Powerball! The Marlins scored 6 in an inning so obviously I'm a quarter billionaire tomorrow!
There, see it so you can believe it yourself!
-For the record, the Miami Marlins beat the 1993 Florida Marlins and set a franchise record in not scoring in 30 innings. The previous record was 27, which is crazy given this team has a man named Giancarlo Cruz Michael Stanton who can end that kind of streak in a half swing...
-Yes I know Justin Ruggiano got hurt, but before this blog officially enters panic mode we will wait for the results and see if he is (dont say it, dont say it...) shelved.
-Marlins start a nice 11 game west coast swing tomorrow starting off in last place Colorado but if they can bring their 8th inning stroke to Denver then it will be fun, but if they revert back to the 30 it will be a LONG series, because we know how Denver is a hitter's paradise.
