Let's not squander another good starter please. Go Fish!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

never mind

Wanna hear something scary? The Marlins are the team that strikes out the most and we are 27th (out of 30) in walks drawn. Not to mention our pitching staff is 11th when it comes to walks given up and we are second to last in strikeouts. We just can't hold our breath like that and expect to win. I don't know how many times I've looked at the box score and seen a zero in the walks drawn columns and a four on the walks given up. Not cool.

So B-Bop has a no-hitter going?

I got what I wanted, a young guy from within the organization. Everything going as planned. Next up, D-Rose.

What are Gregg's numbers when pitching in tied games or only a one run differential? Seems like he has been struggling more than I would like this season whenever I watch him pitch. That low ERA is deceiving. we're 6-3 in 1 run games, and Gregg is 3-1 now ... 4/5 in save opps. (should be 5/5, but Hanley made an error for him, which resulted in 2 unearned runs). Gregg has struggled sometimes (early on in the year) finding the strike zone, but he's been probably Top 10 so far this year, as far as closers go. ...heck in the Milwaukee series alone, he threw 2 shutout innings and got the win Friday, and got a 1 run save on Sunday. He's just not the "1, 2, 3 inning" type of closer. I'll say. His ERA for 0-1 run games is a decent 2.57 while his WHIP is about 1.57. He certainly has been struggling a bit in those situations but I guess he is still getting the job done for the most part. It just goes to show that stats don't always paint an accurate picture of how a player has performed. Kevin has struggled from what I've seen of him. But then again, do we expect this guy to go out there and dominate? My stubborn fan side does, but my down-to-earth side is a bit more realistic.

You know what the ending of this game felt like? Like when you're gagging and you wanna vomit but it never comes out and you can't sleep the rest of the night and you hate life. :banghead

Let's go Fish :gofishb

Let's not worry about the kind of numbers our bullpen has or our ERA or anything. We'll go nutts if we just focus on that stuff. The important thing is that we KNOW we have a good, reliable bullpen. Do we wanna have the best bullpen ERA in baseball or do we want to be the last team standing?

WOOHOO!! I am DONE with exams. Now I can relax and watch the Marlins. Ditto. :balloons :arms

I'm sticking with my pick from the beginning of the season: Spurs vs. Cavs, again.

Did you guys see the couple that Tommy and Rich were making fun of? The ones that supposedly don't speak to each other, only text each other ... "honey, you want a hot dog?" :lol

I thought David Samson was brutal, but hilarious. He's like the dad from 'Honey, I Shrunk the Kids', without the modest nature. Not the most humble businessman, but I sure respect him more today than I did yesterday. :lol I thought I remember someone asking a question, saying they were from UF. Was that you? Nah, I didn't ask him any questions. I asked Michael Hill: Aside from scouting, what other entry-level positions are the best for breaking into baseball operations?

Not a great showing for B-Bop, but hey, we won, right? Our bullpen leaves me speechless sometimes. What admirable work. Great crowd tonight, too. I sat next to a really decent old-timer and we just talked baseball ya know. Had a blast. The concert started slow but picked up I should say. Fun times at Dolphin Stadium. Fun times.

Yeah, it's also for college kids. I came down yesterday from UF to attend this thing. My ticket reads "Infield Box", so I'd say they're pretty good seats. ^_^
