You Can't Spell Badenhop without B A
Oh, who are we kidding? We LOVE to say I told you so! Especially considering the fact that we get the opportunity so infrequently, seeing as we're wrong about 98.87% of the time.
A few thoughts on last night's game:
1) Emilio Bonifacio, good job going 0-for-5, and complementing your stellar offensive efforts by missing that squeeze sign. Here's the deal. Since the Marlins seem pretty much hell-bent on leaving you in the lineup majors, I am going to need for you to sustain an injury of some kind, please. Thanks.
2) Hey Nunez and Lindstrom, let's try a teensy bit harder to give me a heart attack next time, K?
3) Badenhop was better than Graham Taylor, John Kornoka or Hayden Penn in any one of their six starts. Not only did The Hopper hold the Phillies to just one run, he went five innings, which was more than the Fish were expecting of him. Do I think Hop is the next Cy Young? No. Do I like him out of the bullpen? Yes. But given the circumstances (starters dropping like flies to the DL and/or minors), I think Badenhop should have been one of the Marlins first choices for a replacement. And that is all. (For now. Obviously, I will continue to beat this deceased horse until its body has decomposed and bones have turned to dust. But I'll take, like, a small break for now.)
Is it just me, or have the Marlins won three of their last four?
