Jeremy Hermida and Dan Uggla powered the Marlins to what should have been a win against the Oakland A's.
Terrible defense, however, once again cost the Marlins, preventing the Fish from stealing a game in Oakland.
Hanley Ramirez couldn't catch a routine flyball that should have been out #3 in the bottom of the 8th. That misplayed popup put the tying and go-ahead runs into scoring position, who were singled in by Kurt Suzuki.
That was probably the game.
But then Dan Uggla hit a deep blast off of closer Huston Street, his second of the game, to tie things up in the top of the 9th. So this is what hope feels like.
In the bottom of the 11th, drowsy old man Luis Gonzalez dropped another routine fly ball that should have been out #1, which ended up being a double to Eric Chavez (yes, he still exists, apparently). Chavez ended up being the wall-off winning run after a bloop single on the chalk by Suzuki.
Kids, see what happens when you drop easy popups? It certainly doesn't make you look like a Major League team.
