Better off calling Jackson back up? He's horrible, too. He's hit 7 long HRs this year for Gwinnett in 46 ABs and is looking more confident than I've ever seen him. He's had two different injuries that each had him out three weeks, I have no idea what they were. Look at this ball he hit last month--it landed in the trees, and not the front trees:
Yeah, but he's done nothing with the big club. I'm all for giving him a shot, though.

Muller leaves probably thinking he did a good job. That's the problem. Pitchers think if they go 5 innings and give up 3 or 4 runs that's a good outing. It's not. He was one out away from a quality start.
I'll take that from a guy making his second big league start.
I'm fine with the way they define it, you give your team a chance to win, and I'm ok with Muller doing that for us today.

The bottom line is this team just knows how to lose. They've mastered every way there is to lose a baseball game. To be fair, having Heredia, Smith, and Almonte is a huge difference compared to Duvall, D'arnaud, and unnameable. Those guys legit made the line up deep. Now instead we got role players starting 2 spots in the outfield and a rookie catcher sharing time with an underwhelming veteran. That is a dramatic change from last year's offense. That's true, and Dansby has a horrible OBP in spite of his homers. He's mediocre offensively himself.

Is Leon required to bat every time we get a runner in scoring position? Ground ball left side every time. Godalmighty.

They just need to DFA Kevan Smith. Just a free easy out for the opposing team. Lucroy can't possibly suck worse.

I would probably have a little more hope for Smith if he at least knew how to spell Kevin.

Dinner is over and not much has changed I see. I feel like once we get past Riley it's just wait until the top of the order comes up again to have a chance to score.

I like Mueller, its not his fault we have an inconsistent pxss poor offense He is not a deer in headlights like a Kyle Wright or a Touki - he does have real potential But, he does have control issues. I would consider trading Mueller while he has value for one reason, when we have a young pitcher with control problems I am thinking lets trade him while he has value before we mess him up and he is devalued. Of course I do not want to give him away. I have no confidence our braintrust can work with a young pitcher w/control probleme Twisted logic maybe but look at what has happened with other young pitchers who could have been moved for value and we hung on and hung on and they regressed to the point they have no value. Examples, Wright, Touki, Blair, Wisler etc etc we sure have seen that around here THis is not on Mueller its on our braintrust

ANOTHER error by the Marlins. They gotta start making them pay for it. And he advanced to second too
