4th inning - Marlins score 5 runs to take a 5-2 lead (Andy Fox with 2 out 2run double)

 

5th inning - Al Martin hits a 2 run homer

 

current score - 5th inning 7-2 MARLINS

who was on base when martin hit the homerun? and how did they get there?

Stratton reached on error, stole 2nd, and Martin homered

 

the Korean Lee just Homered

 

8-2 MARLINS 6th inning

 

 

these announcers are getting names wrong..they said Stratton was up earlier in the inning but now they say he is up at the plate, so who knows??

Juan Pierre singles

 

Castro doubles...

 

9-2 Marlins 6th inning

Its safe to say "left-handed" OF Al Martin has the fifth OF locked up. hmmm

Dontrell Willis pitched first 3 innings and gave up 2 runs in the 3rd

7th inning

 

Jason Wood Home Run

 

10-2 FISH!!!!!!!!!

I think I smell two wins in a row in one day :mischief

Yup we are gonna win. I Hope we can keep the lead..... :blink: :unsure :

Final

 

 

Florida: 11

Willis only had one earn run.......... :hat

Juan Pierre 2 for 4....I know it's only exhibition but the guy's gotta be hitting around .500 so far. Hope he starts the season hot like this!

one thing i've noticed about pierre is that he's an exceptionally good bunter, that's really going to help us. he doesn't usually hit the ball hard, but he always puts it in play and with the size of the outfield at pps that's going to help him. also, if castillo is on base, pierre shouldn't have any trouble advancing him, which would bring up i-rod with castillo in scoring position, things really look interesing. i'm already liking this small ball thing.

I think the the marlins are planing to use a hit a run with Castillo at 1st and Pierre hitting then Pierre steals second with I-rod batting if the 1st pitch is a ball they may allow Pierre to steal second. Thats a good stragety.
