The Game Notes?

Doubling-up has a new meaning for the Marlins these days. For the second time in 14 days, the Marlins will be playing a twinbill in New York. Only this time, the venue is different. Making up an April 8 rainout at Shea Stadium, the Marlins will play the Mets twice on Saturday. Game 1 gets rolling at 1:20 p.m. ET, with the second game following about 30 minutes after the first concludes. The Marlins head into the twinbill riding the high of an impressive 7-3 win over the Mets on Friday night. Two weeks ago, the Marlins split a doubleheader with the Yankees at Yankee Stadium. In a hectic stretch, the Marlins will play a third doubleheader (also making up an earlier rainout) on July 30 at Philadelphia. In the first game, Josh Johnson goes for his eighth win. The 6-foot-7 right-hander also looks to improve his road record, where he is 2-3 with a 3.07 ERA. After seven relief appearances early in the season, Johnson is making his 12th start. He is 6-2 with a 2.09 ERA since joining the rotation. Ricky Nolasco, who tosses the second game, hopes to bounce back after a rough outing at Washington. In that start, the right-hander gave up eight runs (seven earned) in four innings. Making his 10th start since moving into the rotation after beginning the season in the bullpen, Nolasco is 4-4 with a 3.91 ERA. The Mets are starting John Maine (0-2, 5.40) in the first game, and touted prospect Mike Pelfrey makes his Major League debut in the second game. Pelfrey was a first-round pick in the 2005 First-Year Player Draft. In a unique twinbill, all four of the scheduled starters are rookies. According to the Elias Sports Bureau, the last time four rookie starters squared off in a doubleheader was when Toronto faced Milwaukee on Aug. 7, 1977. That day, Jerry Garvin and Jim Clancy started for the Blue Jays and Lary Sorenson and Moose Haas took the mound for the Brewers. The Brewers swept the doubleheader, and all four starters were involved in the decisions.

 

The Pitchers?

Game 1

FLA: RHP Josh Johnson (7-4, 2.34)

Johnson did not earn a decision in his last start against Boston despite logging a quality start. The right-hander went seven innings and gave up three runs, including solo home runs to Jason Varitek, David Ortiz and Kevin Youkilis. Johnson won his only start against the Mets, allowing only one run on two hits in seven innings.

 

 

 

 

 

NYM: RHP John Maine (0-2, 5.40)

In his second start for the Mets, on Monday against the Pirates, Maine demonstrated the talent the Mets saw when they traded for him in January. He struck out seven of his first 16 batters, allowing one hit and one walk. But he was gone soon thereafter, having allowed two singles and two walks ? one with the bases loaded ? to the subsequent four batters in the fifth. A strong, extended start against the Marlins would help him retain the rotation spot abdicated by Alay Soler.

 

 

 

 

The Player to Watch?

 

NYM: RF Xavier Nady (AVG .268 | HR 11 | RBI 32 | OBP .326 | SLG .484)

Mets outfielder Xavier Nady had two doubles off Dontrelle Willis on Friday he drove in two runs.

Jose Reyes - SS - NYM Jose Reyes won't play this weekend after getting seven stitches to close a cut on his left pinkie sustained in Friday's game.

His availability for the All-Star Game is in question. "The doctor says `Let's see how it feels in the next couple of days,'" Reyes said. With Reyes sidelined, the Mets will likely use Chris Woodward at short and Jose Valentin at second in both games on Saturday. A callup of Anderson Hernandez can't be ruled out, but they're not going to want to bump a pitcher to make room for him. Jul. 7 - 11:44 pm et

 

 

 

Well that's one less pest we won't have to worry about. GO FISH!

770 in Fort Myers signed on with the Marlins Network at 12:45 promptly...should be some fun Radio Rally baseball for game 1 today.

 

The clouds out in the Gulf are likely to make watching the Dish unlikely until they pass....those are some mean clouds. :lol

 

Those in Orlando may want to consider getting out the best AM radio they have, going into the garage or onto a porch (outdoors or with the garage door open) and listening to 560 from Miami. I get 560 in Orlando in the car day and night....you should be able to tune in.

 

Here is the WQAM signal map:

:notworthy :notworthy :notworthy

FOX made a big mistake in not airing the Marlins-Mets game in all of Florida. As usual, Fish fans get the short straw. FOX is usually inclusive of at least WFTX in all Marlins telecasts....MLB needs to either cut down the games FOX can show to 2 in one week (possibly a doubleheader with 1 game in the East and 1 game in the West) or force FOX to multicast the games they don't air by allowing FSN and MLB.tv to air them.

Anyone know if game 2 if going to be on FOX? Won't let me use MLB.tv because of FOX even though the game is not on FOX here.

 

It's not. It's on SNY in NY and FSNFL in Florida

At least I'll be able to watch that one. Fox is covering the Red Sox here, of course.

Did I ever mention I hate my FOX affiliate? :)

 

I actually like my FOX affiliate (WFTX)....first time in 3 or 4 years that FOX assigns them a game other than the Marlins if available.
