Braves (Arr, Arr, Arr, Arr) vs. Marlins (Swoosh Swoosh)

@ 7.05pm

on FSN Florida with Rich and Tommy

*

 

-----------------------

Chuckie James -------vs------- Josh Johnson

6-7, 4.29 ERA------------------ 0-2, 14.85 :barf ERA

*

Scouting Report:

Braves: Facing the Tigers in his last start, James pitched well against a powerful American League lineup for the second straight time, but a lack of run support and a rough sixth inning prevented the left-hander from earning his seventh win of the season. James utilized the high part of the strike zone and forced the free-swinging Tigers into seven flyouts over the first three innings. James is 2-1 with a 1.62 ERA against Florida in his career, but has yet to face the Marlins this season.

 

Marlins: Now that Johnson is healthy again, the next hurdle is for him regaining his sharpness and command. The right-hander, who is battling back from a biceps nerve problem, has lost in both of his starts since coming off the disabled list. He comes into this start having given up seven runs over three innings in a loss to the Twins. In 6 2/3 innings this season, he has walked seven and struck out five.

 

Rally Scene:

 

 

 

Figment Altoid "Piggy" aka Piggy Cabrera will work his magic tonight.

I hope we can win this series. C'mon JJ!

JJ really needs a good performance tonight. If not I could see him back on the DL soon or out of the rotation. The Marlins badly need to win this series, we've only won 1 series (CWS) since the last time we played Atlanta in early June. It's also a division game so that makes it even more important.

GIT R DONE HOLLY!!

It's going to take 15/20 or something like that to make me a believer again.

I post in the Game threads but you dont get post count . I read alot though, just never post

some tips: chuck james is erratic, he can have one good start, then stink it up...i think it's the sophmore slump.

Thanks for the tip, but Im not batting against him. We seem to have a knack for making guys in a "slump" look other-worldly

lineup time anyone? both lineups wanted.

i don't like this lineup...andruw jones batting cleanup?! he's still under the mendoza line for crying out loud...why not put mccann fourth since he's getting red hot? the work of bobby...

JJ hasn't looked hurt or anything to me, just hasn't been keeping the ball down. His location's been off.

 

Can't remember if his velocity was down or not...

There ya go everyone... Hermida on the bench, Carroll gets the start in right (his natural position)...

:kiss jeffery!!!

renteria looks so cute...and then banging his head on the bat.

nice edgar!

Stop missing up.

josh is up again!!

josh is up again!!

If he gets the sinker down, he'll be alright
