Yelich perplexed by Marlins' struggles: 'You think I imagined (losing) 20 of 25?'

Giancarlo Stanton isn't the only member of the Miami Marlins who is frustrated with the team's performance.

After Miami fell to the Los Angeles Dodgers 6-3 on Sunday, handing them their 28th loss of the season, Stanton's teammate Christian Yelich expressed his own feelings on how things were going.

"You think I imagined (losing) 20 of 25? No," Yelich told Clark Spencer of the Miami Herald. "Everybody wants to play better than we're playing. I don't think we're a 130-loss team like we have been the last month."

Yelich's sincere comments come on the brink of Stanton expressing his frustration with the club's performance last Friday.

"It's probably the highest ever," Stanton told Spencer when asked to describe his frustration level. "It's higher than me being the worst player on the field for a month, the worst player in the big leagues for a month, last year."

Miami, who finished last season third in the National League East at 79-82 already, sits 11 games back of the Washington Nationals despite entering the season with loft expectations after surrounding their powerful offense with what was supposed to be a stronger rotation and bullpen.

No one on the team, including Stanton, could have envisioned the season going like it has thus far, but injuries, as well as slow starts from key players, have led to their current record.

"Surprised? Yes," Stanton explained when asked about the season. "No one expected it to be like this."
