Once again the team has found a way to make a very mediocre starter look like a Cy Young candidate with a very lackluster performance at the plate.

 

They could only manage 3 hits and no runs against a guy with an ERA around 5.0

 

And this in a must win game. :banghead

Tomko does this every now and then. He's either great or terrible. He's had a few games this year where he's thrown 7 or 8 scoreless innings. The rest of the time, he'll throw around 5 innings and give up a good 5 or 6 runs... Typical Tomko.

this tomko performence reminds me of capuano

I was thinking the same thing. I was watching the last Cabrera AB and he throw everything away from him, low at the outside edge. Gave him nothing to hit. Tomko pitching great and Beckett complementing him by pitching mediocre again.

Cabrera needs to learn not to swing at sliders out of the zone. He is very susceptible to that pitch.

and thus last night's loss becomes even more painful.

 

this series basically negates the Dodgers series. win 2 of 3, lose 2 of 3.

Actually it's more of a set back as the Dodgers games had no playoff implications.

He gets my vote. :banghead

So it ends up being a 4 hit shut out.

 

Tomko looked like Pedro Martinez against these guys tonight.

In all fairness Tomko is one of those guys where he is one of the worst pitchers in baseball in the first half and one of the best in the second half

This kind of game is why we won't make the playoffs.

 

This is as close to a must-win game as we can get, and we get 4 measley hits.

I expect we will see some well played games coming up, and more disappointing losses. We'll be doing good to finish the season with 85 wins. This could very well be the first Marlins winning season where we didn't go to the playoffs.

It reminded me of Nolan f***ing Ryan.

 

Ugh this offense makes me sick. We score 7 runnings in a single inning two days ago, now we can't even score a run.
