Another so-so Zach Wheeler outing was salvaged by the continued August heat wave of Alec Bohm and Bryson Stott as the Philadelphia Phillies (69-58) won their fifth straight game by a score of 6-4 against the Miami Marlins (64-63). Wheeler gave up two runs across five innings, striking out seven but issuing four walks as […]
PHILADELPHIA — Marlins manager Clayton McCullough gave the four-finger signal in the bottom of the sixth on Monday night, sending Trea Turner to first base with a man already on second. Left-hander John King had allowed two runs in the inning, and Miami did not want him to face the right-handed hitter with two outs […]
Here are the lineups. For the Phillies: For the Marlins: Let’s talk about it.
From the Yankees, Red Sox and Dodgers to the Pirates, Marlins and A's, every MLB front office is graded on a curve that includes the MLB trade deadline.
MLB has no dearth of controversial umpiring, but in a few cases, the decisions change the game results. Something similar happened during the Marlins-Phillies game on Monday. The Marlins were trailing 4-1 in the seventh inning with runners in scoring position. Javier Sanoja hit a ball down the left-field line that was originally called foul. […]

Marlins lefty Andrew Nardi will undergo elbow surgery, manager Clayton McCullough told reporters on Monday (link via Corey Seidman of MLB.com). That’ll obviously end his 2026 season and, depending on the nature of the procedure, is likely to impact next year as well. The news comes as a surprise considering Nardi wasn’t previously known to […]
PHILADELPHIA — Marlins manager Clayton McCullough walked onto the field with his arms outstretched and was thrown out by third-base umpire Todd Tichenor for arguing after a replay review. McCullough had actually won his challenge after first-base umpire Shane Livensparger had incorrectly called a bases-loaded line-drive to right field off the bat of Javier Sanoja […]
After a sweep against the Minnesota Twins where they scored a combined 23 runs over three games, they pull out a solid win as the Marlins try to cling to the wildcard race. It was all of the makings of a good team win. It started on the first ball in play of the night, […]
Here are the lineups. For the Phillies: For the Marlins: Let’s talk about it.
The Phillies are returning home to Citizens Bank Park on Monday as they begin a six-game homestand with three against the Miami Marlins. It is the last time the Phillies and Marlins will meet this season. The two division rivals enter this final matchup surprisingly close to each other in the standings. The Phillies (67-58) […]
Did the Phillies turn their season around with the sweep over the Twins? Or was that series just a brief upturn before they resume their frustrating play? We might find out this week, as the Phillies will host an opponent that’s been more all over the place than they have. You probably recall that the […]
A sweep on the road is great, but the Phillies haven’t played particularly well at home. They need to come home and actually start taking care of business, particularly against teams like the Marlins and Cardinals. There needs to be some distance put between them and the rest of the wild card contenders. On to […]
It was an up and down day for the Pharm: the IronPigs slipped past an in-state foe in a tight one as Clearwater rode a seven run inning to a resounding victory, but the Fightin Phils got outfought, and Jersey Shore lost a heartbreaker. Also, the DSL Phillies tormented the DSL Marlins with patience: fourteen […]
The Marlins just traded away Liam Hicks, who was splitting his time between catcher, first base and designated hitter. After that trade, they recalled catcher Agustín Ramírez to take his roster spot. It seems they also hope to have Ramírez gradually take over a similar role to the one Hicks had. President of baseball operations […]
It’s usually a bad time for the Miami Marlins to run into the Atlanta Braves, based on how these two teams have fared against each other for nearly a decade-and-a-half now. It was an especially bad time for Miami this time around as the Braves came into this series looking hot and playing well. As […]
After back-to-back nights of the pitching staff carrying the Braves to wins over the Marlins, the offense decided to make it easy on them, exploding for eleven runs on a night that ended with Miami subbing in a position player to pitch. Ronald Acuña Jr. led the way with a couple of home runs. They […]
The Atlanta Braves have won their eighth straight after Thursday’s 11-3 win over the Miami Marlins. Between a solid outing from Martín Pérez and a 14-hit night for the Atlanta lineup, things went well all around. Despite the rain delay, the Braves were able to complete the sweep of the Fish and earned their 70th […]
Baseball is a funny game. It’s hard to win a lot. You win seven straight, sweep one team, win a series against another, Martin Perez is on the hill, it’s rainy — you figure, no one can win ‘em all, we’ll get ‘em tomorrow, we’re in a good place, yadda yadda yadda. Well, turns out, […]
Every single time I clone the game coverage posts and for the game thread I don’t even have to erase Martin Perez’ name. Sigh.
The Pittsburgh Pirates acquired more than bullpen depth when they landed Lake Bachar from the Miami Marlins at Monday’s MLB trade deadline. The reliever’s personality and unconventional interests have quickly given Pirates fans plenty to appreciate. Pittsburgh sent Brandan Bidois, Brian Sánchez, and Hyun Seung Lee to Miami for Bachar. The 31-year-old right-hander arrived with […]

During Wednesday night’s win for the Atlanta Braves over the Miami Marlins, it was certainly interesting to see one of this team’s strategies successfully work out when it came to dealing with Eury Pérez. Two moments in particular came to mind. The first one happened in the second inning. After Ozzie Albies coaxed a walk […]
The Cubs immediately optioned lefty Braxton Garrett to Triple-A after acquiring him from the Marlins on Monday, but he’s now in Chicago as the team continues to cycle through fresh arms. Garrett seemed to have clashed with Miami’s pitching infrastructure and could experience a bounceback if allowed to be himself, something we saw with Jake …

The Chicago Cubs today recalled left-handed pitcher Braxton Garrett from Triple-A Iowa. In a corresponding move, right-handed pitcher Tyler Ferguson was optioned to Iowa. Garrett was acquired on Monday from the Miami Marlins. He will wear uniform No. 60. Ferguson, 32, is 0-1 with a 3.45 ERA (6 ER/15.2 IP), 19 strikeouts, two walks and […]
