Rain puts off the Miami Marlins’ series final with the Washington Nationals - MLB Update
Series final between the Washington Nationals and the Miami Marlins has been abandoned due to rain. Just when the game was about to start, rain came in and the play was to be stopped. Time-line for the re-match is not yet final.
It has been reported that there will be no change in the sequence of starting rotation.
Marlins were beaten in first two games played in the Nationals Park, something unusual keeping in view the ball club games were played at and past dominance of the Marlins there. Part of the reason of their failure was a re-born Nationals side.
Starters like Stephen Strasburg and Ross Detwiler with the Nationals are at the top of their mark at the moment and a weaker offence of the Marlins was sure to succumb before them.
Even the Marlins’ in-fielder Donnie Murphy acknowledges the kind of threat in particular the rotation of the Nationals has become.
"Before, I felt like when we came here we normally put up runs and we normally hit pretty good,” said Murphy. "But that pitching staff. ... I think they're going to be tough. I think they're going to be around all year.”
Meanwhile, a sigh of relief has come to the Marlins’ manager Ozzie Guillen who now has rightly conveyed the message he tried so unsuccessfully at the start of the episode regarding Fidel Castro.
A show named A Season with the Miami Marlins ran a video, showing Guillen in tears as he concluded the conference expressing apology to the masses he had hurt with his brash remarks about Castro.
“Maybe that helped [pacify] some people," Guillen said. “I think that might help a little bit. [Critics might say] ‘OK, that [expletive] is for real,’ even though I was. But some people don’t believe that."
Marlins will be happy in a way that at-least they can avoid the onslaught of the Nationals at the moment.
By playing few games with other opponents and meanwhile they will hope the Nationals go slow in their momentum, who knows they will have the best opportunity to avenge two losses they have recorded against them.
