Week In Review

No comment

Positives: The Marlins lost two to the Phillies, but then reeled off five straight wins (one Philly, four Houston) to close the first half of the season at 43-48. The bats have awoken (Hanley finally, credit to Bonifacio too) and the starting staff has performed admirably as of late.
Negatives: Despite the win streak, the team enters the break in last place and 10 1/2 games out of a playoff spot. Likely out of contention some names are already being trotted out as trade candidates (Ricky Nolasco, Anibal Sanchez, Leo Nunez, Randy Choate)
Line of the Week: In his first game as a father, the aforementioned Emilio Bonifacio had a day.

3-3, 1 BB, 3 SB, .233 WPA

Highlight of the Week: As i said simply in a tweet Wednesday night: #MONSTERWALKOFFDONG

Looking Ahead: All-Star break this week. Watch Gaby (hopefully) play Tuesday Night. Marlins resume play Thursday with four games in Chicago against the Cubs.
