June 9, 200620 yr Anyone got 'em? Nolasco, Moehler and Olsen start in the 3 game series with San Diego. Edit: Just found two of them. Josh Johnson in game one of the series, Dontrelle in game two.
June 9, 200620 yr Scouting Report on 3 games away series against the San Diego Padres: Marlins (21-36) Padres (31-29) Friday, June 9: PETCO Park | 10:05 PM ET Ricky Nolasco, RHP (4-2, 3.15) Nolasco had a career game Saturday against the Rockies, pitching eight innings in the Marlins' first shutout of the season. He struck out seven and walked one while scattering eight hits. Nolasco had command of his fastball, and used his curveball sparingly early before mixing it in effectively as the game went on. Chris Young, RHP (5-3, 3.39) Young is coming off two straight dominating performances. Carrying a no-hitter into the seventh and sixth innings, respectively, the 27-year-old right-hander has given up just three hits over his last 16 innings (two starts). Mixing a high, riding fastball with a trio of offspeed pitches, Young has kept hitters perpetually off-balance while inducing weak pop out after weak pop out. Young has had quality starts in nine of his 12 outings. He won his lone career start against Florida earlier this year, holding the Marlins scoreless on one hit over six innings. Saturday, June 10: PETCO Park | 10:05 PM ET Scott Olsen, LHP (4-3, 5.60) Olsen threw his fourth quality start Sunday, going 6 2/3 innings and allowing three runs on six hits and a walk for his second consecutive win. After facing hot and cold stretches earlier in the season, often within a single game, Olsen has been consistently strong in his last two starts, avoiding the big innings while posting a 2.63 ERA in those games. Clay Hensley, RHP (4-4, 4.15) Too much of a good thing was Hensley's undoing in his start at Milwaukee. Unable to control his sinking fastball, he walked seven in an uncharacteristic display of wildness, taking himself out of the game after 3 2/3 innings. Hensley, who mixes a slider, curve and change around his meal ticket, had walked only four men in his previous four starts, so he wrote this off as an aberration and expects to rebound with his characteristic poise and control. Sunday, June 11: PETCO Park | 4:05 PM ET Brian Moehler, RHP (3-5, 7.17) Moehler's personal three-game winning streak came to a crashing halt with his worst outing of the season on Monday. He couldn't get an out in the fifth inning, and left having given up eight runs on 10 hits and two walks in four-plus innings in San Francisco. His stuff against the Giants for the most part wasn't horrible, but after loading the bases on three soft singles, Moehler left pitches up in the zone to Lance Niekro (three-run triple) and Barry Bonds (two-run homer). Jake Peavy, RHP (4-6, 4.56) Peavy's last start certainly wasn't the reassurance the Padres were hoping for that he had overcome the tendonitis that required eight days of rest between starts. The right-hander threw just 3 2/3 innings, allowing five earned runs on seven hits with a walk, a wild pitch and three strikeouts in Milwaukee on Tuesday. An RBI double with two outs by opposing pitcher Dave Bush was perhaps the low point for the All-Star hurler. Sunday, June 12: 5 Hours Severe Training For Fish At Dolphin Stadium Or 10 Hours Of Punishment If Fishy Look Like April Marlins Again Against The Padres Scouting Report on 3 games home series against the Atlanta Braves: Marlins (21-36) Troll Prediction: (23-37) Braves (29-32) Troll Prediction: (30-34) Tuesday, June 13: Dolphin Stadium | 7:05 PM ET John Smoltz, RHP (4-4, 3.73) Smoltz bounced back from two rough outings with what manager Bobby Cox called a solid performance in his last start, which came against Washington. Until allowing three runs in the sixth inning, the right-hander showed great command of his pitches and finished the night with eight strikeouts. When he faced Florida earlier this season, Smoltz allowed three runs in 7 1/3 innings in a no-decision. Josh Johnson, RHP (4-4, 2.11) The NL Rookie of the Month for May has a personal two-game losing streak going, but it's all Jason Schmidt's fault. In his last two starts, a 6-1 loss May 31 and a 2-1 defeat Tuesday, Johnson has given up just three earned runs in 14 innings, with 11 strikeouts and five walks. Johnson looked particularly effective Tuesday against Barry Bonds, who struck out swinging on a pitch that came in at 94 mph before dipping below Bonds' knees at the plate. Troll Prediction Beyond This Point: Tuesday, June 14: Dolphin Stadium | 7:05 PM ET Dontrelle Willis LHP Tuesday, June 15: Dolphin Stadium | 7:05 PM ET Ricky Nolasco RHP Its a 5 men rotation: 1. Dontrelle Willis 2. Ricky Nolasco 3. Scott Olsen 4. Brian Moehler 5. Josh Johnson 6. Loop back to 1. It's is a forever cycle unless someone get injure or Mitre comes back, someone got traded, someone got brought up from the Minor, etc...
June 9, 200620 yr I'm sure there is still hope, maybe Padres figure since Moehler has a 7.00+ ERA he'll play a rookie minor pitch that game.

June 9, 200620 yr Moehler vs. Peavy. Great. :plain I believe that Peavy is injured and will miss the start. At least there's a chance. Jake Peavy will test his shoulder during a bullpen session on Thursday. Peavy hopes to be over the shoulder tendinitis which has bothered him the past month. If the shoulder is an issue during Thursday's session the Padres might shut him down for a few weeks. Source: San Diego Union-Tribune
June 9, 200620 yr Okay if we keep on this same pace For the Yanks series we will have- Moe, JJ, D-Train. Maybe somehow Moe can be skipped? I don't trust Moe at Yankee Stadium. Red Sox series: JJ, Train, Noly- I like
June 9, 200620 yr wow...Tuesday's game is gonna be a good one! I'm going...99% of Florida won't care because of the Heat game! For the Yanks series we will have- Moe, JJ, D-Train. Maybe somehow Moe can be skipped? I don't trust Moe at Yankee Stadium. so if I go to Old Timers Day on the 24th, it will likely be JJ again...very interesting! Also, Moe on Saturday vs Toronto....hmmm! Anyone know if AJ is still injured and if he will pitch that series?

June 9, 200620 yr he was transferred to the 60 day DL but i dont kno about that now also for the 3rd game of the Atlanta Series probable starter for atlanta Jorge Sosa be nice to get a win off of him considering his only win this season (1-7) was off the Marlins.
June 9, 200620 yr He is scheduled to appear for the Blue Jays on June 22 in an Interleague game against the Braves on the road. bluejays.com
