Miami Marlins: Offense, not Steve Cishek, not Manager Holding Marlins Back

The Miami Marlins got off to a 3-11 start and now own a 16-24 record, 40 games into the season. As is the norm when a team is losing, blame and pointing of fingers to find the issue usually manifests itself. 

This is no different for the Marlins. The team cut catcher Jarrod Saltalamacchia on April 27th, just 9 games into his season. He was the first scapegoat. The second was almost made around the same time, in manager Mike Redmond, after the Fish were swept by the New York Mets.

Instead, Redmond found his own scapegoat, saving his ass a little, pinning a lot of the Marlins issues on closer Steve Cishek.
