This is what happened when Jose Fernandez hit his first home run:

This lineup will attempt to score more runs off of Jose Fernandez than Jason Hammel allows.

Good lineup. I like sitting Baez and Almora, two guys that would likely flail against Fernandez unsuccessfully.

 

Also, I think it's the all caps, but every time I see Willson spelled on the lineup scoreboard, my first thought is "typo" even though I have long known about the 2Ls.

[Sammy Sofa]

It bums me out how much that 1-2 bums me out right now.

[UMFan83]

 

Geez

[Aaron_Kennelly]

Good start, guys.

[Aaron_Kennelly]

Keep hitting your rockets out to Heyward and not the other two.

[Sammy Sofa]

Good start, Marlins.

[NOLA]

I know you guys keep saying how Heyward will turn it on at some point, and believe it's probably true, but I'm getting really tired of having to qualify him actually making solid contact outs as him having a "good day". He either isn't having decent pitch recognition or he's lunging at the plate with every swing and can't catch up to a fastball.

[CubinNY]

This could get ugly

Heyward sucks. feel better?

[UMFan83]

I am excited we are playing the Reds tomorrow but also scared if we are slumping so badly we can't even beat them

[Schwarber Fan]

I really didn't think this team had the ability to be this bad for this long.

No.

I'm just looking for someone to tell me I've got nothing to worry about. I knew he started slow, but I didn't expect him ever to be late on fastballs. Contact was the least of our worries, I'd thought.

"Making sold contact outs" qualifies as a 'good day' for pretty much anyone on the roster. People around here are generally smart enough to know that if someone is hitting the ball consistently hard, it's going to translate into offensive production at some point in the near future. Right now for Heyward the production isn't there, but the contact is giving us a sign that it should be coming soon.

[Andy]

At least we're not going to get no-hit. Fernandez looks nasty today.

[Ding Dong Johnson]

people have been saying that about Heyward since the beginning of May

I get that. I guess I'd be more encouraged if that were happening more often that not. A black hole at 1-2 in the lineup is brutal.
