    I look forward to the Bellozo starts. He's fun to watch not only because of his old-school style, but I know the Marlins will be in the game while he's in there. Let's see how the league reacts to him over the next six weeks. Lots of long flyouts and infield popups in the meantime. Next year, though, the Marlins get healthy again.

    Marlins win the series 2 games to 1. MVP is Xavier Edwards, Looking forward to the FOF pod tonight. Cheers,
  3. THOMAS JOSEPH
    Marlins sweep the series. Jonah "Shotgun Wedding" Bride is the MVP.

    Masterful pitch-to-contact game from Bellozo. I truly enjoyed that old-school performance. I am also happy that Gordon is staying in the organization. As we have seen, anything can happen, so he is a nice insurance policy if things get weird.

    Glad that (at least) Gabe "Welcome Back" Kapler is staying in the FO. As we are entrusting the on-field makeover to Bendix, we can hardly deny him the front office/scouting team he wants.
  6. THOMAS JOSEPH
    There is hardly worth repeating ourselves over this fellow. Is there a more frustrating individual who is still on the team?
  7. THOMAS JOSEPH
    Sorry that I missed the prediction response. Although it doesn't matter or count, I was thinking sweep and Burger as MVP. Never disrespect a streak, as they say! A split would be ok, especially after the Bellozo performance. Now, Cabrera, it's time to build on that excellent outing of your own.

    The baseball merry-go-round never stops. It's SOP to bring in your own people, so it's not surprising that Bendix, making massive on-field changes, would do the same in the FO/scouting department. Many of the scouts are not sporting standout records, apparently.

    I was encouraged a bit by Stower's ABs, especially the line drive single and the bomb to center, while caught, was the product of a solid swing. He's working his way back to form, now with contact. Hits will follow if Schumaker leaves him in. That appears to be the team's thinking anyway.

    I just read a lovely line tagline: Phillies in Free Fall. Ahh.

    I must admit to an instant connection to Bellozo. He appears to be genuinely thankful and thoroughly enjoying the MLB experience. To boot, he recalls the pitching craftsmanship that goes beyond the obligatory elbow-destroying velocity in today's game. Wasn't the soft contact inducement inning after inning just an absolute pleasure to watch? All those soft pop-ups. The few hits were spaced out and the scoring opportunities for the Phillies were lithely maneuvered. So, while we await the "league catching on to him," or anything similar, let's enjoy this fresh air in baseball we have on our team.

    Amazing turnaround from Burger. He looked overmatched for five weeks, then...thunder!
  13. THOMAS JOSEPH
    Well done.
  14. THOMAS JOSEPH
    Enjoyed the video. Progress!
  15. THOMAS JOSEPH
    Kudos to Schumaker for leaving Meyer in there.
  16. THOMAS JOSEPH
    Add me to the "never saw that before" list. That's our (not nearly as important) version of the NFL "tuck rule" game! LOL.

    I mentioned on X that I am fine with the Padres doing well - all of our old friends on the team and they are a fine counterweight to the Dodgers. Of course, if the D-backs repeat, that is fine. I suppose it's anyone except the Dodgers, even grudgingly accepting the Phillies or Braves while holding my nose! World Series rings for Arraez, Scott, and Hoeing (along with the first Padres franchise championship) would be a nice ending to this season of woe.

    It was a fantastic outing for Cabrera that gives everyone hope that the corner is indeed turned this time. If so, he is either a strong staffer for 2025 or has a big trade value pickup for the team. I applaud Schumaker for extending him as far as he could go this time. It has to be a tremendous confidence boost for him and the team.
  19. THOMAS JOSEPH
    A nice battle looming here with De los Santos perhaps.

    I really enjoyed the series this weekend, with credit to the Marlins for their resiliency. This is a hot and superior Padres team, that got all they wanted from the Marlins. The Padres leave with the series win but realize they could have easily lost it. Kudos also to Schumaker, who finally has decided to extend the starters and see their mettle. Since the wins or losses mean very little, the overall evaluative aspect of the rest of the season is paramount.
  21. THOMAS JOSEPH
    Forgot it is a 4-gamer. Ugh.
  22. THOMAS JOSEPH
    Marlins continue their post-ASG run, winning the series 2 games to one. MVP: Edwards
  23. THOMAS JOSEPH
    My thoughts: Much better than the usual </= 5 innings from Cabrera. He still had the high pitch count, but even the Braves announcers commented on his pitch movement, and they understood why the Marlins wanted to go as far as they could with him. It's the "When/if he puts it all together"...etc. Pache: The bonehead delay advancing to second, but to his credit, returned with a solid contribution for the day, including the outfield throw in the sequence that nailed Soler at the plate. Bride: Nothing like a three-run homer. Nothing sweeter than beating the Braves at their place.
  24. THOMAS JOSEPH
    Many of us rely on FOF for prospect information - thank you for all the hard work.

    The ruthless reality of professional baseball.
