Stanton’s Home Run Clears Scoreboard
Posted on 28 April 2013.
Miami Marlins right fielder Giancarlo Stanton hit his first home run of the year on Saturday night in his 18th game. Stanton got his money’s worth with the moonshot, as his first inning homer off of Chicago Cubs starting pitcher Travis Wood traveled an estimated 440 feet and went over the scoreboard in left field at Marlins Park. Last May, Stanton hit a similar blast that broke the same scoreboard he cleared against the Cubs. Unfortunately for Stanton and the Marlins, his first homer of the year wasn’t enough and Miami fell 3-2. Their record now sits at 5-19, 10.5 games behind the first place Braves in the NL East.

Marlins Owner Fiddling with Lineup?
Posted on 27 April 2013.
Do you need another reason to dislike Miami Marlins owner Jeffrey Loria? Of course you do. On Tuesday, Loria apparently overrode manager Mike Redmond and switched starting pitchers Ricky Nolasco and Jose Fernandez in Miami’s doubleheader with Minnesota. Loria wanted Fernandez to start the day game and Nolasco to start the night game. Loria insisted Fernandez, the team’s prized 20-year-old rookie, pitch in the first half of the doubleheader at frigid Target Field instead of the scheduled Nolasco because the day game was expected to be warmer. The temperature at Fernandez’s first pitch (38 degrees) was actually colder than at the beginning of Nolasco’s start (42 degrees). Rookie manager Mike Redmond delivered the news to Nolasco about 2½ hours before the first game against the Minnesota Twins, and it did not go over well with him or his teammates. Standard protocol for doubleheaders is that veterans choose which game they want to pitch. Not only did Loria ignore th…

Harper homered twice on Monday against the Miami Marlins in his first two at-bats.

Curvaceous Gal Nearly Drilled by Screaming Foul Ball at Spring Training Game (video)
Posted on 27 March 2013.
This one requires little setup other than to mention that this nearly injurious scene occurred during a spring training game between the Detroit Tigers and the Miami Marlins on March 25 and that the screaming liner of a foul ball came off the bat of Marlins outfielder Chris Coghlan. Oh, one other thing: The fan nearly drilled by the ball happens to be quite curvaceous in the chest area. Busty, to the layperson. And her cut-off shorts are Daisy Duke-short. Give this gal a glove and she’d be perfect for one of those Hooters ball girl gals the Philadelphia Phillies employ. That was close. And thank goodness none of the little rugrats didn’t get drilled, either. But mostly, the young lady should feel extremely lucky that her sudden movement by which she narrowly evaded being struck by the ball didn’t cause her skin-tight tank top to explode into a white cloud of cotton. I mean that thing is painted on, man. The structural integrity of that shirt is being put under heavy duress. I gues…

Miami Marlins Threaten to Sue Season-ticket Holders
Posted on 19 March 2013.
The neverending saga of Miami Marlins management attempting to alienate their fanbase continues. According to a report from the Miami New Times, the Marlins are threatening to sue a pair of season ticket holders for requesting that their seats be moved after the Marlins installed a billboard that obstructed their view. Jan and Bill Leon have been Marlins season ticket holders since the 1998 season, and have bought two full season, front row tickets each year since then. When Marlins Park opened for the 2012 season, the Leons bought a two season package for $ 25,000 per season with the option to change their seats after the first seaso. All was well and good with the seats at Marlins Park until the Marlins decided to add a billboard directly in front of the Leons’ seats, obstructing their view. Here’s a before and after view of the seats. The Leons claim that the extra padding at the top of the wall obscures their vision of the entire third base line unless you move a…

Marlins to Give Away Free Tickets?
Posted on 07 March 2013.
If you thought the Miami Marlins had trouble putting fans in the stands in years past, wait until you get a load of what they are doing this year. Now that the team has decided to fire Ozzie Guillen and trade Jose Reyes, Josh Johnson and Mark Buehrle to the Toronto Blue Jays, interest in the upcoming season seems lower than ever. Aside from Giancarlo Stanton, there isn’t much that is going to inspire Marlins fans (if there are any) to attend a game. However, we have some good news for those Marlins fans who actually enjoy attending games at the brand new ballpark the team just built in Miami. If you purchase a ticket to the Marlins home opener against the Atlanta Braves on April 8th, you will receive a ticket to any other game of your choice — on the house. According to the South Florida Sun-Sentinel, the Marlins ran a promotion last year where fans who purchased a season-ticket package would be entered into a lottery for a chance to score a ticket to the first ever game at the new Marlins Park. Now that

Marlins Owner Writes Letter to Fans
Posted on 24 February 2013.
In Sunday’s edition of the Miami Herald, Miami Marlins owner Jeffrey Loria took out a full page ad and wrote an open letter to Marlins fans. Upon reading the letter, it proves to me that Loria still has no idea what the hell he’s doing running the team. Go ahead and give that letter to the left a click to enlarge it. In the letter, Loria claims “acquiring high-priced talent just didn’t work”, so he completely punted on that strategy after one season to go with the homegrown approach. Loria of course mentions Miami’s farm system being ranked fifth in baseball (on which ranking system, I’m not sure), and MLB Network ranking six of their prospects in the top 100, while also failing to mention that prospects are inherently lottery tickets and one blown out shoulder can end a career. A strong farm system is great and all, but the Royals had the best farm system EVERRRRRR a couple of seasons ago, and haven’t finished at .500 since 2003. Next up. Lori…
