• Florida Marlins: Halladay gets defense, big break in perfect game

  Number of comments: 8
  

  Saturday’s game notes pointed out the Marlins began the day leading the National League with 305 singles. They did not add to that total.

  Wow, was Roy Halladay impressive. Cody Ross mentioned afterward how the most impressive part about his perfect game was that he did it while preserving a 1-0 lead. [...]

  The Marlins added two new pitchers to the bullpen mix before Thursday’s game. Another is on the way.

  After a painful performance in which he walked five and allowed three runs during a 43-pitch eighth inning, the Marlins effective Friday will designate left-hander Dan Meyer for assignment and select right-hander Jorge [...]

• Florida Marlins: New position for prospect Michael Stanton

  Number of comments: 10
  

  Michael Stanton has played left field three of the last four games at Double-A Jacksonville. He had been the regular right fielder up to his point. Not sure how much to read into this.

  On the one hand, it could be the Marlins are priming him to be the every day [...]

• Florida Marlins: Is June 5 the magic day for Mike Stanton?

  Number of comments: 9
  

  The question I’ve heard most often this season is when will the Marlins call up power-hitting prospect Mike Stanton. Saturday night, Stanton hit his minor league-leading 17th homer for Double-A Jacksonville.

  There’s no guarantee of course the Marlins will promote him on this date, but it appears June 5 or anytime thereafter [...]

• Florida Marlins: Owner Jeffrey Loria chimes in on Hanley Ramirez episode

  Number of comments: 5
  

  CHICAGO – Florida Marlins owner Jeffrey Loria sounded like a triage doctor Friday in offering his diagnosis and prognosis of the Hanley Ramirez/Fredi Gonzalez situation.

  Had someone wheeled the two into Loria’s emergency room, he would have sent them home with a couple of bandages, not to the operating room for [...]

As initially reported by Enrique Rojas of ESPNdeportes.com, Ramirez does in fact plan to quash the ugliness of [...]

• Florida Marlins: What was good for Mickey Mantle is good for Hanley Ramirez

  Number of comments: 1
  

  Hanley Ramirez isn’t the first and won’t be the last player benched for lack of hustle. Bobby Cox did it to Andruw Jones. Charlie Manuel did it to Jimmy Rollins. And yes, Casey Stengal did it to Mickey Mantle.

  Much obliged to Mike Brown in Boca Raton for sending me a [...]

• Florida Marlins: Gonzalez more than justified removing Hanley Ramirez

  Number of comments: 10
  

  The first thing Hanley Ramirez should do when he arrives at the ballpark for Tuesday afternoon’s series finale against the Diamondbacks is thank Fredi Gonzalez. Ramirez should be appreciative Gonzalez waited until the top of the second inning concluded and Ramirez returned to the dugout before yanking him from the [...]

  Number of comments: 10
  

  The Marlins won’t be the only opposition awaiting the Arizona Diamondbacks Monday when they open a brief two-game set at Sun Life Stadium. Groups opposed to the Arizona immigration reform have taken to protesting at just about every stop the Diamondbacks make on the circuit.

  As recently as this weekend, members [...]
