Marlins draw eight walks and steal seven bases, somehow score only one run
Apparently not content to let the team's front office hog all the bad pub this week, the Miami Marlins earned some of their own on the field Wednesday night.
We're talking about some really unique bad pub, too. Despite walking eight times and stealing seven bases, the Marlins were only able to manage one run in a 7-1 loss to the Atlanta Braves at Marlins Park.
No major-league team since at least 1918 has scored only once when walking at least eight times and stealing at least seven bases, according to the Baseball-Reference Play Index.
"The game was pretty confusing,'' Marlins manager Ozzie Guillen said. ''In five innings we stole seven bases, walked seven times, had three doubles, and we score one. Sometimes you think about it and you shake your head how that thing can happen.''
