Justin Ruggiano


   Justin Ruggiano has been struggling to try and get a hit for the past couple months. That wasn't good for the Marlins because they need to do good. He has had around 47 times at bat without a hit. The team was suffering from all those strikes that Ruggiano got. They still supported him to have his mind on the ball game and not think negative thoughts. Quoting Mike Redmond, " He just needs a break." Justin Ruggiano was trying all that he can to do good. the marlins were practicing harder making sure that Ruggiano would do good. Ruggiano has gone through  a lot.
    Although Ruggiano hasn't been playing that good, he still tries his best for the team. He has had troubles but so has everybody else. He hasn't been the only one going through that. Now that he's been practicing more, he has been doing much better. He went through a lot. His fans were sad, his teammates, even his family. Everybody must have been sad. He might not have been known for being one of the best players, but he was good. And for him to go down like that was nerve wrecking. Nobody liked to see Justin suffer and go through that.
   But, he was playing like that due to a past back pain. He had a really BIG pain with his back, but still played a few games just to help the team. He acted like his back injury didn't really matter. But, it did. Playing baseball, it matters a lot. And he would show face expressions to show his pain while at bat. Even though he wanted to keep playing, he needed to be checked out. That wasn't good for him to play baseball with a back injury. That'll just make it worse, and we don't want that for Justin. He's a good player and we wouldn't want anything back to happen to him, or anyone else.
