Projected Starting Pitchers

Brad Penny & Horatio Ramirez

 

*game is on TBS at 1:05*

 

Brad Penny's first start of the year..... let's hope the "big mo" continues

Ramirez has good stuff? Never heard of him...

Found this interesting from an article on Penny's first start on floridamarlins.com:

 

Initially, Marlins manager Jeff Torborg said he was going to rest Rodriguez on Sunday. Now, Torborg has changed his mind.

The game is gonna be televised on TBS and FOX Sports Net

Well, either he changed his mind again or the article was wrong. Mike Redmond will start at catcher today.

Wow, gotta be hard to sit Pudge when he's producing like that. Gotta give Red and Castro they're AB's, but which is more important? Coach probably hates to have to make that move. Good to see Hollandsworth and Lee pick up a few hits last night too, hopefully it'll get them started. The #2-3 combo of Pierre and Pudge are just tearing it up.

Nice to see Gerald getting the start out there today.

Torborg should rest his players once in while so they'll be strong all season...

this will be Ramirez's second start ever.....

 

let's try to get to him early and 'tee-off' on him

are my eyes decieving me????

 

 

 

 

is torborg actually using his bench?

telecast is on and Erin looks hot.... as usual

On the pre-game show, Torborg said he wants his players to be there for the long haul. He tells the starters who wont be in the lineup the night before so they can take it easy and not be shocked when they walk into the clubhouse. He was also quick to say that when Pudge is not in the starting lineup, he is available for late-game situations.

game on!!!

 

Castillo will lead off for us... and he grounds out to Vinny Castilla at 3rd

 

Juan Pierre will bat second...

Pierre barely touches it..... grounds out to catcher....

 

Juan Encarnacion is up

Turner Field looks pretty empty today, I wonder how many people will show up an hour late The Braves have been struggling in terms of attendance, getting 20k on Friday and 23k last night. Could Braves fans be jumping off the wagon? :o

nice AB by Encarnacion.... he walks..... will he run?

 

Yes he will...fourth stolen base, tied for ML lead with who else...Juan Pierre
