Well that was certainly a gut punch. The Nats just got swept at home by a Marlins team that had lost five straight entering the series. For whatever reason, the Fish just seem to have our number. That is especially true of Marlins pitchers who have contained this offense better than any other team. In […]
The first two games of this series have been a real bummer, but the Nats have a chance to salvage things this afternoon. They will look to avoid a sweep at the hands of a Marlins team that has given them all sorts of trouble. Hopefully the bats can wake up today. Blake Butera is […]
This season the Nats have matched up well with high priced teams like the Braves, Padres and Mets. However, the scrappy Marlins have given them all sorts of issues. They have lost four straight games against the fish, and these games follow familiar patterns. The Marlins are able to quiet the Nats bats, and then […]
If there's one team that can pick it on defense, it's the Chicago Cubs. But the Cubbies are also a team with a need for some starting pitching to let those fielders go do their jobs. Shota Imanaga and Jameson Taillon are flyball pitchers, as is Matthew Boyd (currently on the IL). So as the team looks to fortify its rotation, there are two 'dream' fits for the Cubs to look to on the trade market, as noted by Christopher Kline of Fansided . Sandy Alcantara, Miami Marlins The former Cy Youn...
The feisty fish have given the Nats problems this year, and last night was no different. The Nationals bullpen was unable to hold on to their lead, and they lost 7-3. Tonight, they will try and even the series. They have been a series winning machine lately, so the Nats will not want to drop […]
The second half of May saw the surging Mets come to a screeching halt, suffering three consecutive series losses to the Nationals, Marlins, and Reds before salvaging the month with a sweep of the Marlins at home to build some momentum as the calendar turned to June. Perhaps most importantly, the offense began to show […]
The Nats enter June riding high with a record of 31-29. However, now is when the real test starts. June was when things really unraveled for the Nats last year. I would like to think the foundation is stronger this year, but we need to see things play out some more. This series against the […]
The Nationals continue to stay hot as the calendar flips to June, having just finished a month where they went 6-2-1 in their 9 series’. Holding 2nd place in the National League East, this month offers Washington a chance to maintain their place in contention and potentially force the front office’s hand and buy before […]
The Marlins announced a handful of roster moves ahead of Monday’s game. Right-handers Zach Brzykcy (pronounced “brick-see”) and Tyler Zuber had their contracts selected from Triple-A Jacksonville and will be with the major league club tonight for their road game against the Nationals. To make room on the active roster, Miami optioned righty Josh White […]

The New York Mets moved closer to getting catcher Francisco Alvarez back in the lineup after manager Carlos Mendoza announced on Sunday after a 10-1 win over the Miami Marlins that the 24-year-old is scheduled to begin a rehab assignment with Triple-A Syracuse on Tuesday.

The Marlins will select the contract of right-hander Zach Brzykcy prior to tomorrow’s game with the Nationals, Fish On First’s Kevin Barral reports. Miami will have to open a spot on both the 26-man and 40-man rosters for Brzykcy, but 40-man space could be found by moving Andrew Nardi to the 60-day IL, since Nardi […]
The Mets kept the good train rolling on Sunday afternoon, as they finished off the series sweep of the Miami Marlins by a score of 10-1. The Mets, now winners of four straight ballgames, sit at 26-33, six games out of a Wild Card spot. The Mets’ offense was the star of the show today, […]
The Cardinals are designating reliever Matt Pushard for assignment, according to Jeff Jones of the Belleville News-Democrat. Pushard was a Rule 5 pick and will need to be offered back to the Marlins if he goes unclaimed on waivers. Hunter Dobbins is being recalled from Triple-A in Pushard’s place. The team’s 40-man roster is now […]

There’s a reason fans get so angry when a national broadcast takes over their team’s games, and Gary Cohen can tell you exactly why. The Mets’ play-by-play voice on SNY since 2006 sat down with Stephen Strom, pregame host of Marlins On Deck on 104.3 WQAM, to explain why the local broadcaster offers something no…
