Would a lot of ground balls be a good thing? Seeing how we led the majors in errors and all.
Uh Volstad is far from solid. Career ERA near 4.60 son.
That was years ago though.We were good at defense when you played Ernie :tongue:
Yeah, that's a good point. I would much rather have potential out ground balls than home runs. And hopefully Starlin works on his D this summer. I am sure we will see improvement. But we also have to factor in all the young new guys we keep bringing in out of the woodwork.If they're on the ground, they're not leaving the yard, which has been Volstad's problem. So it's not ideal, but it's better than being out of play. At least if it's in play they have a chance to convert the out :lol:
The other thing is that this newfangled coaching staff is going to hopefully help improve the infield defense, so it might not be as leaky as it was last year.
How many more Gatorade machines will be destroyed at his expense?
ERAs don't tell you everything about a pitcher. Especially if the sample size is small.
Most of us on here are guilty of saying "I'd trade Z for a bag of baseballs..."
Well, we got the next best thing.
Honestly, I'm just glad the dick hole is off the team.
Not sure, but the Marlins do have a new fishtank...
Z's 2013 option vests if he's in the top 4 in NL Cy Young voting. I think the writers should conspire to vote him into the top 4 to make Miami pay it since they're not actually using their own money to pay for the ballpark and most of the payroll. Bilking the taxpayers and gobbling up revenue sharing .....

This team as it stands isn't even close to the 62 Mets, or the 1890 Pirates or the 1899 Cleveland Spiders or anything else.
We aren't even the worst team in our division...

True. But being better than Houston isn't really saying much.
