April 25, 200719 yr Game Notes Atlanta hit 7-for-12 with two outs and a runner in scoring position...Vanden Hurk threw 55 pitches, only 26 for strikes, and faced 11 batters in only one inning. He was optioned to Double-A Carolina after the game...Marlins pitchers issued nine walks. http://64.246.64.33/merge/tsnform.aspx?c=p...inal/W18466.htm Nate Field has been called up from AAA.
April 25, 200719 yr Good. Let's see if he can figure out in the minors what he did in his first appearance (*cough* throw strikes early *cough*).
April 25, 200719 yr That's a good decision for Marlins & Hurk. Hurk must keep a practice in minor. If Marlins Not sending him, Hurk's baseball career will dameged. So, Who's next pitcher as 5th starter until Nolasco's back? Gaby? Ungs? George? Delgado?

April 25, 200719 yr Field?? Absolutly, He was a reliver-type guy. So, we will turn to 4-man rotation, until Nolasco's back?
April 25, 200719 yr Author we have an off day... and Field isn't a starter There's no way George is ready, Gaby isn't either and Ungs is a reliever. Field started 2 games in AAA in 2002 and won both. If we didn't have an off day, it should've been Field. But thats irrelevant.
April 25, 200719 yr and Ungs is a reliever. Not really. While he has more relief appearances this year so far, he is a career starter...133 GS compared to 17 relief appearances.

April 25, 200719 yr im kinda confused as to why hurk has taken such a quick decline in effective strike throwing pitching. his first game he was stellar...striking out the side at one point. what happened with the mets and now the braves?

First, he was being squeezed. Second, he was trying to place his pitches and he is not going to get calls. Sort of like a rookie hazing by the ump.
April 25, 200719 yr We are obviously going to be down a starter the entire year. We need to figure this out, and stop calling up the Fields, Tylers, and Hurks of this world.

Sort of like a rookie hazing by the ump. Really? Why are umps allowed to do that? i mean...practically our whole staff is is either on their first or second year. This "hazing affects our record and team morale...i don't think that's right. It's either a ball or a strike dammit!! At least keep the zone the same for both teams!

Maybe he didnt get some questionable calls, but he was throwing the rest of his pitches right down the middle of the plate. Besides a few innings in his first start, he has been garbage.
April 25, 200719 yr I haven't checked the Marlins web site yet, but who's going on the 60 day DL or getting outrighted off the Marlins 40 man roster? They were at 40 with the purchase of Obermueller.

April 25, 200719 yr Field was pretty effective in his two longest years in KC. Less hits the IP, Decent ERA's http://rotoworld.com/content/playerpages/p...MLB&id=3442
April 25, 200719 yr It's not going to get better until guys get healthy. That's what happens when four of your top seven starters are on the DL. What were people expecting with Hurk? He's a talented guy who hadn't pitched a game above A ball. One decent start and three lousy ones is par for the course, the guy just isn't ready. I'm guessing Gregg will be moved into the rotation. Gaby/Barone/Sanchez aren't ready, and the whole Albuquerque rotation is having problems throwing strikes. Mildren is probably next in line to get a shot if our rotation woes continue. Or who knows, they may call on Volstad next.
