April 10, 200818 yr Anyone who managed to watch tonight's game, how did he look out there? He seemed very relaxed. (Of course he had a 6 run lead.) Great movement. I can't wait for his start.
April 10, 200818 yr apparently pretty nasty...and im pretty sure if you ever called him badenhopper to his face, that would be grounds for an imediate bitch slap! :lol ...but it was a good win tonight...lets go broom shopping tomorrow night! and make me do this :happydance
April 10, 200818 yr I was glad to see him get in, even if it was just a few pitches. I'm excited for his first start!
April 10, 200818 yr Im just worried about his movement in regards to his control. I wouldn't be shocked if he walks himself into a jam, and proceeds to GIDP his way out.
April 10, 200818 yr Im just worried about his movement in regards to his control. I wouldn't be shocked if he walks himself into a jam, and proceeds to GIDP his way out. I don't recall control being a problem for him this spring.
April 10, 200818 yr I don't recall control being a problem for him this spring. I didn't get a chance to watch him but over 14 innings he walked 7, but still it's only spring. And at one point he had 10 scoreless innings so I'd certainly take that.
April 10, 200818 yr He looked sharp in his one inning tonight. Picked up his first K and threw an absolutely nasty sinker to Guzman. Don't know if anyone saw it (I think it was the first pitch of his at-bat), but that thing dropped from Guzman's thighs to his ankles. I'm looking forward to his first start as I've been following him since he was in the Tigers system.
April 10, 200818 yr Burke gets the start tomorrow right? According to the Nats guys he is going to start on Sunday.
April 10, 200818 yr I feel pretty confident in saying that his next start will be much better than anything RVH would have given us. Very excited for the HOU series. Can't wait to see how Nolasco and Badenhop do. Also, it will be an important start for Miller. I think it will be fair to assess how good this team can be after the Astros series. If Nolasco and Badenhop step up, I think things will be pretty ok. By the way, it was nice to see some optimism in the Herald Wednesday: Jeremy Hermida is back. That sentence might be one of the more telling statements about the 2008 Marlins. Hermida missed the first week of the season because of a hamstring injury and will join the team Wednesday. He was missed, but when Hermida takes his place in right field and slides back into the third spot in the batting order, he will be joining a team that is 4-3. A 4-3 record with a starting rotation that has struggled. The Marlins have won because the bullpen has been as good as advertised, because Hanley Ramirez (.440, two homers, five RBI) is one of the top players in the game and because this team is deeper and better than last year.
April 10, 200818 yr He was nasty. His pitches have a lot of movement, and seems to have a lot of poise out there. Sunday should be fun
