July 24, 200620 yr Sounds like a sweep! Only questionable game could be Johnson and Smoltz it depends which Smoltz comes to play.
July 24, 200620 yr JJ always gets the Aces...It's all good... Thats the guy I would want to face all the aces
July 24, 200620 yr Man, this series should be a cracker! Gonna be tough though, no retarded mistakes! :mad
July 24, 200620 yr Interesting matchups. Let's hope Scotty O pitches better against the Braves than he did the last time.
July 24, 200620 yr fantastic matchups.... well atleast the first two Third game's a gimmie. If you saw that STL vs ATL game he pitched, his pitch selection is horrible. Any game that looks that good in favor of the Marlins is the game you have to worry about. Especially when you factor is Olsen's mental make up. The kid is a stud but he is not exactly the shining star of emotional coolness on the mound and in the dugout.

That was the problem with last years team that thought too much about gimmies and they gave us a thrid place finish. Otherwise looks like good pitching match-ups for the next few years so get used to seeing all of these kids.

What you call bad mental makeup, I call intensity. And it's a good thing to have.
July 24, 200620 yr we have the pitching advantage in all 3 games...i'll be content if we take 2 out of 3. hopefully we can pound the two rookie starters.
July 24, 200620 yr I CAN'T BELIEVE IT. I'm gonna miss a Josh Johnson start for, like, the third time in a row. Grrr....

What you call bad mental makeup, I call intensity. And it's a good thing to have. There's a difference. Intensity is good. It keeps batters on their heels and fires up the rest of the team. Emotional is not good. What we see with Olsen is someone who will let the ump or other things going on around the field get under his skin. Then he starts thinking about these things instead of his pitches. He has alot of emotional/mental maturing to do before we can start marking his starts down as automatic W's

What you call bad mental makeup, I call intensity. And it's a good thing to have. I dont agree Spike. Let me explain....... Big Tex would get fired up and I liked that about him (unless he did it in the 1st inning and gave up 3 or 4 runs). The first inning was always Josh's biggest obstacle. Everyone loved it (including me) when Josh would get fired up after a big K. Olsen only gets fired up when things dont go his way (borderline call by plate ump or a miscue by one of his position players). Those 2 things I mentioned are not good things to get fired up about (especially reason # 2). Hopefully Olsen will grow out of it. He is very young after all. But as of right now he is always one bad call/error away from having a header out there.

July 24, 200620 yr Not saying your wrong, but I disagree with your disagreement. Now part of it is immaturity. But how long before that intensity bred from immaturity is turned into intensity towards the game?(I am not sure if that wording makes sense?) Big Tex had his moments of immaturity. Immaturity breeds intensity. Before long Scotty O will be doing fist pumps, slapping his chest, sticking his toungeout etc. etc. after a big K or doing the fist pump and point at an infielder when they make a good play. But either way, Big Tex was a special player. His cockyness and arrogance is unmatched as far as I am concerned. But that fueled his fire. I feel Olsen will turn into the exact same type of player. Just give it time.
