Game on TBS, WPXM, and WPXP.

Atlanta Braves...

 

 

 

YOU'RE NEXT!

I'm pumped, all 3 games this series are on TBS. Seems like TBS never showed the marlins last year.

Time for both Conine and Castro to break out of their slumps!!!

Ray Ray hits three homers, as Darren Oliver sets up Josh and Brad's back to back perfect games by throwing a no-no of his own.

I'm feeling a big game from Castro too...JP is due too. I expect a stolen base or two from him tonight.

Castillo and Pierre are both under .300. I hope they both have big games. Ramp, Why are Russ Ortiz's stats up there? We are facing our friend from '97 Jaret Wright.

I think the Marlins could continue the streak....

Oliver is more of a finesse type pitcher.....so it is unlikely the shut out will continue.

 

With that said, I expect our big O to crank it up tonight against Wright...so there should be good run support.

 

Marlins win 8-4.

Yes! First Marlins game of the year that I get to see! Can't wait.

Anyone know if Ray Ray is Starting for sure...need to set up my fantasy lineup for today

Looks like Redmond is going to get the start.

 

He caught when Oliver pitched last......so perhaps McKeon is going to stick with Redmond for Oliver and Willis starts.

I'm pumped, all 3 games this series are on TBS. Seems like TBS never showed the marlins last year.

The only reason we're on TBS is sadly because TBS airs like all of the Braves games.

 

Let's continue that streak! GO FISH!

I'm gonna watch the PAX one though, I'd rather hear Tommy and Len.

I think this game's fate will be mostly up to Oliver. If he pitches halfway decently(like in his last start), then we win.

Castillo and Pierre are both under .300. I hope they both have big games. Ramp, Why are Russ Ortiz's stats up there? We are facing our friend from '97 Jaret Wright.

thats what espn had.... lol

 

anyway no changes for the Marlins but Redmond is in over Ray Ray

The Florida Marlins are turning pitching into an art form.

 

The Marlins will look to continue their incredible shutout streak when they travel to Atlanta for the opener of a three-game series with the Braves.

 

Carl Pavano and a pair of relievers combined to blank the Montreal Expos 3-0 Thursday, extending the Marlins' scoreless string to a team-record 30 innings.

 

``I wasn't going to be the one to go out there and mess up our rhythm,'' Pavano said.

 

The World Series champions shut out the Expos in all three games of the series and have a stellar 1.22 team ERA. The last time a team swept a three-game series with shutouts was 1995, when Baltimore did it against Detroit.

 

Pavano recalled riding on the team bus after Wednesday's 9-0 win and getting razzed by Brad Penny, who threw eight scoreless innings in the opening game of the series in Puerto Rico.

 

``Penny told me yesterday, 'No pressure, 23 scoreless innings,''' kidded Pavano.

 

Pavano gave up three hits in seven innings, and Chad Fox and Armando Benitez finished up. The previous shutout record for the Marlins was 27 innings, compiled in four games between July 29-Aug. 1, 1997.

 

Darren Oliver, who gets the start Friday in Atlanta, said he does not want to be the guy to allow a run.

 

``I hope I can keep it going. We're just hot right now,'' Oliver said.

 

Manager Jack McKeon said his pitching staff is making a good case to be considered among the best in baseball.

 

``This staff is underrated,'' McKeon said. ``As far as maturing and reaching a new level, these guys are fast becoming one of the better staffs in baseball.''

 

The Braves, who have split their last six games, are coming off a 4-0 loss to the New York Mets on Thursday.

 

Though the Braves have hit just five home runs in nine games and are batting a mediocre .256, they think they need to remind the Marlins they are the ones who have won 12 straight division titles.

 

``We need to chop them down,'' Braves closer John Smoltz said. ``We need to beat the teams that are hot.''

 

However, Braves third baseman Mark DeRosa said the Marlins wear their World Series championship well.

 

``They've just got that air about them now,'' DeRosa said. ``They have a little bit of arrogance about them and they have a right to be that way. They're running guys out there every day that throw in the mid 90s and their lineup flows nice.''

Burnett will throw a bullpen session tomorrow at Turner Field according to preshow on WQAM

Im going to watch the game at a bar..... so someone do my job

My prediction: Oliver works a quick 27-pitch game and Conine drives in the game's only run on a sac fly. The game ends before dusk so everyone can enjoy a sabbath dinner.

TBS starting coverage now...

My bad its on PAX.
