The Jorge Julio experiment must end now.

He needs to get sent to the minors for a week or so to get his confidence back and we'll do with what we have.

He is awful right now.
 
man if Julio had just been able to close out that game it would have been over. but since it went to extra innings it was suspended. I looked at our salaries and he is one of just four Marlins to be making over a million dollars. So he needs to play better

If I'm someone who makes decisions I send Julio down to the minors to close games until he gets his stuff straight. On the plus side that was the first game he actually got three outs I think.


Anyway if we lose this game because of him I will be angry. We should already be 6-1 so if he loses us another game....wow.

I hate to be right on this, but I hated this move from the get go. He's getting 2.5 million from us to blow games. I swear, the Mermaids should shoot him with there T-shirt cannon.

There has been talk of Volstad getting called up later this year to start if we need him. I wouldn't be surprised if he wins the 5th spot next year and Nolasco and/or Mitre get traded.

It's a shame there is a rain delay, because as far as debuts go I don't think you could ask for any better.

I definetly see him getting called up in September, but I still think it would be a mistake to give him a rotation spot without more seasoning in the minors. No need to rush a great prospect and hurt his development and confidence. Remember, he'd be a 5th starter. Ricky Nolasco and Sergio Mitre are among the best 5th starters in the NL. And are still young to boot! I'm sure we can live with them for a few more seasons.

Now, with that said, give Volstad this year in Jupiter. If his progress merits it, give him a call up. Then give him two months in AA Carolina. If he dominates, then give him his call-up.

(It's so awesome to say my brother played with Chris and Jarred Saltamachia in little league)

Great debut for Vanden Hurk A.K.A. The Dutch Destroyer.

I wouldn't give Volstad the spot, but if he can earn it next spring training I think he should get it. Most prospects like him get called up and become the #2 guy right away on a staff. He would be the #5 guy. That means more often than not he would be facing the other staffs 4 or 5 guy also. Thats a huge plus because you don't need to pitch quite as well.Thats what this franchise is all about, giving the spot to someone who deserves it.

Mitre looks bad *** with his hair this year :lol: if only he pitches as dominating as he looks.
 
Good News.

It's been cloudy all day but the sun just peaked out and it could be a great night for baseball. Keep your fingers crossed.

LMAO. I agree. Mitre's hair is awesome this year. And his stuff was very good.
 
marlins loes first game tonight ..you thank julio for that one lets hope for game 3
 
Man Atlanta/New York are so lucky Julio sucks. You guys realize that we would be 8-2 right now if we had a real closer?

Today was a nice game though, and I'm glad Dontrelle is off to a hot start at 3-0. We win tomorrow and we are tied with Atlanta and ahead based on head to head games.
 
personally, I think Tank should get the job pero Owens has probably been our best reliever, and Lindstrom can hit triple digits.
