Posted June 17, 200618 yr vs. the best hitting team in the AL.... He goes 7 IP, 6 H, 1 ER, 2 BB, 8 K But the most impressive thing.... 12 ground outs and only 1 fly out (and it was a pop out to 3rd base). Our pitching staff looks 4- 5th's complete....these guys are on fire lately.

June 17, 200618 yr I don't know what game you guys were at but until Glaus hit that mammoth home run and woke Olsen up he was back to nibbling, nibbling, nibbling. If it wasn't for the defense behind him this game could have been 5-0 before Uggla's dinger. Luckily, he came to his senses after Glaus, throwing strikes and challenging hittters. I congratulate him for his overall performance but it took on helluva wakeup call to get him cooking.

All ground ball outs..... :thumbup
June 17, 200618 yr I thought it was rather clever that after Olsen struck out a batter, the jumbotron showed a clip of Dr. Evil saying "Scotty's on fire". Very strong outing. Bullpen got a little annoying in the 9th, but Tank got out of it without surrending any runs, it turned out all right in the end.

He could have had a much worse line tonight but he bailed himself out of a few jams. Anyway, can't argue with results.

He was able to get out of the jams he got himself into and didnt lose his cool.

So if the young pitchers make mistakes like that, they have a reliable defense behind him.

The best pitchers are able to work out of trouble...Outstanding job by Olsen tonite!
June 17, 200618 yr vernon wells was struck out 4 times in 4 at bats today, that says something special
June 17, 200618 yr i was at the game and he just had great stuff since the get go. his slider was disgusting and spotted his fastball very good. this guy has been pitching very good as of late, JJ and now Olsen!
June 17, 200618 yr I was at the game..great game..Uggla and Cabrera hit SHOTS,and so did Glaus..some fans reacted stupid and started booing Martinez when he couldn't throw strikes..i hate it when fans do that,and they did the same thing with Kensing,and then Tankersley..idiotic fans..ooh well,Marlins have won 6 in a row,and i'm happy..And btw Uggla signed my glove after the game

June 17, 200618 yr I wasn't booing the ump, I was booing Martinez who stunk up the joint tonight and almost cost the Fish the game with his inability to locate a single one of the pitches in his repetoire. For a guy people think may be heir apparent to the closer role I wouldn't be sending Joe Borowski packing quite yet, based on KMart and Tankersley's performances tonight. And Kensing not being able to seal deal didn't help matters either.

June 17, 200618 yr I have one rule when I go to Marlins games. I dont boo the home team. The Marlins have enough to overcome in terms of a hostile working environment.

I congratulate him for his overall performance but it took on helluva wakeup call to get him cooking. I don't know what they were saying on TV but it looked to me like the plate umpire got into his head. Angel has a habit of trying to be the center of attention. I noticed in the 1st or 2nd inning when Matt went out to talk to him Hernandez didn't even let Matt all the way to the mound before starting out there himself. And then ran the last few yards. Very unprofessional for an ump and IMO not fair unless he did it to the other team, which he didn't. Scotty has a problem of letting things he can't control dictate how he pitches and it looked like that was going to happen last night. So very glad he overcame it.
June 17, 200618 yr I should really clarify my comment above. I wasn't booing Martinez but I was screaming/shouting/letting my opinion be known about his inability to throw strikes about as vociferously as I could. In point of fact I never boo (well I take that back, I booed Darren Oliver once and Alex Gonzalez once...lolol).

And Kensing not being able to seal deal didn't help matters either. In his defense, he had pitched 1.2 innings in 12 days since coming off the DL. That is unacceptable on Girardi's part. Speaking of unacceptable, will we ever see Yusmiero Petit again?
