Stanton Goes 3 for 5 in Big League Debut; Fish Fall in Philly

Mike Stanton went 3 for 5 in his big league debut Tuesday. Stanton and the Marlins took on the Phillies in Philadelphia and the much hyped prospect had a good showing. Stanton started off with a single in the 2nd that came on a weak hit ball to the shortstop who was slow reaching the ball. Stanton beat the throw showing better than average speed in his first at bat. Stanton had 2 more singles in the game and his last one came in the 9th inning and loaded the bases for the Marlins.

Stanton had 2 impressive plays in the outfield where he held 2 runners from turning solid base hits into doubles. He showed an impressive arm on his throws to second base, on the money, with good velocity and no hop. We will find out quickly what he will look like in the show as he is a physical specimen of athleticism and is certain to show his true worth very soon.

Unfortunately the Marlins failed to rally in the 9th and they lost their 4th game of the season.

Mike Stanton Has Been Called Up

Mike Stanton has officially left Jacksonville and is in South Florida. He is getting ready for his first major league debut on Tuesday in Philadelphia against the Phillies. Stanton has 21 home runs and has driven in 52 runs in 52 game this season so far in the minor leagues. The only other minor league player garnering more attention has been fast ball hurler Stephen Strasburg.

Stanton will most likely play right field for the fish when he gets in tomorrow and The Marlins are looking for some immediate impact out of the player as Fredie Gonzalez has been tweaking the line-up lately trying to get the best mix possible. Right now we are still unsure of where exactly he will fall in the line-up. It really depends on where Gonzalez puts Hanley Ramirez, as Stanton could hit 6 or 7th, but if Hanley hits 3rd, Stanton may hit 2nd.

Tuesdays game should be heavily watched as the debut of Mike Stanton will hopefully prove to be a great addition to the Marlins club.

Marlins Lose 1st Game to Phillies. Now 3 Losses In A Row. Must Pick It Up Quick.

With 1 out in the 9th inning the Marlins had two runners and were down by only one run. Then the veteran closer ,Contreras, struck out Cody Ross with a ridiculous off speed pitch after a 96 mile an hour heater the pitch before. Paulino came up next and quickly hit a shallow pop up which ended the game with Cantu and Uggla stranded after two singles each.

The Marlins have gone from just a few games out of first 3 days ago, to sitting in 4th hoping they don't fall to 5th. The Marlins needed to pick up the majority of the wins over this 10 game home-stretch they, they have not done that so far. They have lost 3 out of their first 4 games. The next two games will be just as difficult as the Phillies always play the fish well as we know.
