No Maureen McGovern here, made ya look!

J. Nicolino (1-1, 4.56)
C. Flexen (2-1, 7.02)

If you ignore all the runs and hits and walks he's given up, Flexen's been very good.

Hard to win games when some of our best hitters are on the Rays, Indians and Brewers. At least we have their closer.

Yeah, we just don't have ours.


Since we last saw the Marlins
- they've been riding Giancarlo's hot streak (he's hit 46 HRs since Tuesday) to a 9-6 record in August and, as a result, are now in 2nd place five full games ahead of us. I suppose that gives us something to shoot for
- 1B Justin Bour in on the DL, as is 3B/NYM-pain-in-ass Martin Prado, and starter Edison Volquez (TJ surgery)
- closing since the AJ Ramos deal has been Brad Ziegler. He has 4 saves in 4 tries since taking on the job with no runs allowed even while allowing hits each time. On the other hand this nice streak only served to lower his ERA down to the mid-5.00's Also, rumor has it that he's recently been offered the job as White House spokesman as apparently the Trump folks mistook him for former Nixon press aide Ron Ziegler but he turned it down figuring that even closing with a 5.50 ERA for the most unstable franchise in baseball while it's in the midst of an ownership change has better job security than trying to explain DJT's tweets with a straight face.

Does Wlmer seem to have a better eye at the plate these days or is everybody else just worse?

And as I mentioned on Page 1 here, Ramos's replacement Brad Zeigler has not exactly been a shut-down closer.

I gotta say the Miller Lite Turning Point of the Game was Zimmo and Smith whiffing back to back in the 7th. Smith looked like shit.
