To add insult to injury, rookie phenom Cody Bellinger became the first Dodger to hit for the cycle. There’s nothing more exasperating than witnessing the Marlins take a nose-dive after the All-Star break, putting themselves further from contention.
Owner Jeffrey Loria has done very little to bolster his roster. He has instead devoted his attention to figuring out ways to stuff his pockets. With a roller-coaster of a season, the Marlins have yet to find any consistency.
There are times when they get in a groove with a string of wins. But there are other times where the entire team is in a slump.
