José Fernández Is Hurt, And We Aren't Allowed To Love Anymore
José Fernández is 21 years old and unquestionably one of the most exciting players in baseball. I use "player" in place of "pitcher" with purpose, because it's not just Fernández's ability to mow down hitters that makes him so much fun to watch; it's the fact that he milks every ounce of fun he poss...

Giancarlo Stanton And His Power Are A Joy To Watch

Yasiel Puig Hits Monster Home Run, Follows With Wonderful Bat Flip
In the fourth inning tonight in Miami, Yasiel Puig blasted a towering three-run homer to left-center, giving the Dodgers a 6-2 lead and Bill Plaschke a fainting spell.

Jose Fernandez's Fake-Out Play Was Ballsy And Awesome
One of the coolest things about Jose Fernandez is that even though he is one of the most dominant young pitchers in the league, his two most impressive highlights have nothing to do with pitching....
Holy Shit, The Marlins And Braves Cannot Stop Striking Each Other Out
Remember last night, when the Atlanta Braves and Miami Marlins combined to strike out 28 times, a thing that had never before occurred in the modern era? Well, those crazy free-swingers went and did the exact same thing today, and they didn't even need a full nine innings to do it this time. ...
Jose Fernandez And Alex Wood Strike Out Everyone
Last night, the Marlins and Braves teamed up to do something that has never been done in the modern era: they combined to strike out 28 times in a nine inning game while failing to draw a single walk. After checking the math real quick, I believe that is an assload of strikeouts....
Miami Marlins Owner's Insane Book About <em>Peanuts</em> Will Melt Your Brain
When we speak of spring and baseball, we speak of renewal. New shoots of grass, possibility, the warm rays in Florida.

Jose Fernandez Grounds Out Weakly; Mom And Grandma Laugh At Him
Jose Fernandez is your Marlins Opening Day starter. He's a great, young pitcher who, according to Eduardo Perez, also thinks he's a great, young hitter.

Marlins Dad Abandons Son For Ground-Rule Double
There is something about retrieving baseballs that is hard-wired into the psyche of all adult males. Maybe it's a vestige of our hunter-gatherer path, but even the sanest of men can't help but drop everything and goofily run after a $17 ball. It's a poor job by evolution, because sometimes we drop o...

The Marlins Are "Outraged" Over The Red Sox's Spring Training Lineup
The Marlins are reportedly quite pissed that the Red Sox fielded barely any major leaguers for today's spring training matchup. I will get this out of the way so you needn't bother: Marlins fans are quite pissed that the Marlins field barely any major leaguers during the regular season....

The Ravenously Shameless Pastel Brutality Of The Miami Marlins
