Pretty sure he would have made the DL trip if we didn't need anyone with a pulse in the OF.

Yep which helps no one. He doesn’t get healthier and he also doesn’t help the team.

Timo Perez 

Only if he brings his eye liner

I'm assuming we send Mendick down for Engel because that sounds like what we would do

Not really, his command has been off and is missing his spot a lot.

Yep....he's off today. Matter of time. 

Need some runs 

With only a 1.5 game division lead, can this offense really sustain another 2+ months without Eloy and Robert? Even if it’s trying Rutherford and/ or Sheets…something has to give sooner or later

I think lamb has to go

To be fair, he’s still considerably better than Leury even in his broken state.

Lamb is actually one of the better at bats vs RHP now

So he’s the tallest Madrigal

They have to add some type of bat full stop and they should try to do so sooner rather than later.

Are we talking about the guy who has yet to give up a hit?

Lol...I’m not disagreeing with you by the way, just pointing out how bad Leury has been.  At some point they should just call up one of the Charlotte outfielders, although I’m not sure they will cut bait on any of the veterans this earlier.

It's still May and teams go through slumps.

So looking into the NL East standings and analyzing all the injury issues, I really don’t think Marlins are going to be sellers. They’re getting healthier while rest of division is falling apart.

Let’s score some fucking runs!

I'm of the same opinion. I would think the whole Yermin success story would make the front office a little less reluctant in giving another guy a shot. What's really to lose at this point? Hell, let Eaton heal up on the IL if he truly needs it.

I have forgotten what a lead feels like ?

Indians threatening to pull ahead top of 7th, runners on 2nd/3rd, one out, C.Hernandez hitting.

You know the minors as good as anyone. Who would that even be?  

I’ll take Nick Markakis out of retirement over Spank

I’ve been calling this a slump for a while, but we also are giving too much playing time to non major league hitters in Leury & Hamilton and relying on a hobbled Eaton and developing Vaughn in the corners.  Engel will help some no do doubt, but we desperately need an OF bat that can actually hit RHP.

Heck, I'd almost go with Eaton/Mendick/Engel in CF and Adolfo in RF just to see what would happen.

Jose can't touch this guy's off-speed stuff.

Don't forget Lamb.  Nick Williams, etc.
