It was a real treat to watch Jason Wood and Matt Treanor hit back-to-back jacks in the bottom of the seventh last night. These guys have probably spent a combined 20 years in the minors and barely get a chance to play, getting spot starts here and there. Not only did the reserves go deep, they both went 3-for-4. Matty’s still in his early thirties and will probably stick around in the bigs for at least a few more years, but Woody’s pushing 40, so I hope he makes the most out of this season.

Of course, the fun didn’t end there. The Marlins went on to blow the game open with an eight-run 8th inning that was capped by a three-run Hanley Ramirez blast. As enjoyable as that was to watch, the real feel-good story of the game was the fact that the Marlins offense was led by two guys who were playing A-ball when most of the current Marlins roster was in grade school.
