  • JCR on Recent Turn of Events

  • Juan C. Rodriguez brings up some great points in his latest blog post. He talks about:

    Little breaks not going our way:

    At the very least, that well of little breaks the Marlins were dipping into during their seven-game winning streak appears dry. It happens to every team.

    Missing injured players:

    One thing that struck me Tuesday was how the Marlins may be starting to miss Mike Jacobs and Josh Willingham.

    And potential to add another veteran:

    Jacque Jones was placed on release waivers Tuesday and could be a free agent by Thursday.
