In what was a rain-soaked game that only lasted 7 innings, it was Hanley Ramirez that came through again for the Florida Marlins. This time he collected 4 RBI for the team and helped them overcome a 5-1 deficit to beat the Nationals 7-5 in 7 innings.
Ramirez has been on fire as of late. Last week’s co-player of the week, Hanley has collected at least 1 RBI in 9 consecutive games and 22 total RBI in that stretch. In those games, the Marlins are 6-3 and Ramirez is a very large reason for their success!!!
If Hanley is able to maintain this pace and the team starts to battle with the Phillies for the division title, I wonder how soon the ‘Hanley for MVP’ talk will start. I am certainly biased since I get to see him play on a daily basis, but it would be very easy to argue that his is a Top 3 candidate for that award right now.
Keep up the great work Hanley!!!
