Former Fish Matt Mantei retires.
We’re launching our first poll (it’s our first poll so if it’s broken, please be patient with us). Today’s poll is a pretty basic one: what was the best trade in Marlins history? More
Cliff Floyd received the media award as player of the year. Matt Mantei was named the most improved. Mark Kotsay was named Rookie of the year. Rich Donnely was awarded the good guy award.
Another Marlins pitcher has joined the DL. Matt Mantei sprained his ankle in a loss to San Diego. Rafael Medina was reactivated of the DL to take his spot.
Marlins end a 3-game losing streak by outpitching the Cubs in a 2-1 victory. Brian Meadows won his NL Rookie leading 9 game. The bullpen struck out all 6 men it faced. Todd Dunwoody scored the first Marlin run only to see a Henry Rodriguez home run tie the game. But a Todd Zeile solo home run over the scoreboard in left gave the Marlins the lead they needed. 32,000 watched and cheered as Matt Mantei struck out 4 to earn the save.
