April 10, 200818 yr GREAT WIN! Great Job Scotty! :notworthy Good to see the O and pitching all clicking on the same night. If the Mets hang on we will be leading the division by 1 1/2 games :hat
April 10, 200818 yr The only really disappointing thing was giving up those two runs in the eighth after Olsen was relieved...increased his ERA from 3.62 to I think 4.61.
April 10, 200818 yr GREAT WIN! Great Job Scotty! :notworthy Good to see the O and pitching all clicking on the same night. If the Mets hang on we will be leading the division by 1 1/2 games :hat holy crap...thats a bigger division lead than anyone thought we would have had all year...LETS GO MARLINS! :notworthy
April 10, 200818 yr Little bump in the 8th when they tried to stretch him out a bit, but we'll forgive him those last two runs that scored off Gardner. Great, great outing for Scotty. Just the fact that he was able to go 7+ innings is huge. Really looked in control tonight. That is the kind of step I would love to see him take this season. As far as Jacobs, maybe it's just been his stretches of up and down health, but when he's on it seems like he's bashing doubles and homers in bunches, then he cools off. Like I said, maybe it's health related. Anyway fun to watch when he's on. Nats announcers on the 2nd home run: "Here's the 1-2 pitch to biiiig strong Mike Jacobs"..... (*crack*) "And just how big and strong is Mike Jacobs?! That one's in the bullpen!" Good nights from all the bats really, Treanor, Uggla, Hermida, on and on... Let's go for the sweep!
April 10, 200818 yr Good pitching. Good to see runs not all via the hr. Cantu with his first long ball, and Jake is killin it. Olsen took a page outta Willis book and was working fast but effective, nice to be able to pitch with a huge lead. Oh and welcome back Hermida
April 10, 200818 yr other team are not playing well we need keep heat on them that why starter need do what Olsen did today play to 7innng or later
April 10, 200818 yr Positives 1. A win. 2. Scott Olsen pitches 7.2 innings. HUGE! 3. Badenhop looked impressive in his ML debut leading up to Sunday's start. 1, 2, 3 9th inning. 4. Situational hitting...pleasent to watch (or hear...which was the only thing I could do tonight). :banghead Negatives 1. 2 errors in 1 inning...need to avoid those as much as possible (btw, this makes Scott Olsen's outing more impressive. Could've probably gone 9, if it wasn't for 2 errors making him throw about 20 more pitches). 2. Olsen gets charged with 2 extra runs (Gardner, quietly, struggling, early on). :mis2
April 10, 200818 yr As far as Jacobs, maybe it's just been his stretches of up and down health, but when he's on it seems like he's bashing doubles and homers in bunches, then he cools off. Like I said, maybe it's health related. I can't say definitively, because correlation is not necessarily causation, but his 'cold' period have come when he's been banged up.
April 10, 200818 yr Good win overall. Hermida with a nice first night back, Jacobs showing power, and finally we get a good starting pitching performance from Olsen.
April 10, 200818 yr Great job by Olsen. We needed those 7.2 innings. Don't think the bullpen could have handled any more strain even after the off day.
April 10, 200818 yr Sweet win, good job all around, minus a few defensive miscues and Gardy's relief work. I say we go for the sweep tomorrow.
April 10, 200818 yr it funny how masn guys say how national is still good team their did not gave us cedit for winnng the game
April 10, 200818 yr Just finished watching a replay of the game. Good stuff. Nice to see Scotty almost go 8 and give our guys a quality start. it funny how masn guys say how national is still good team their did not gave us cedit for winnng the game It didn't seem to me like they weren't giving us credit, but that they were blaming their pitching for throwing badly when we scored. We all do that. When one of our pitcher gets beat up, no matter how great the hitters are, we blame our pitching.
April 10, 200818 yr Olsen deffinately got the job done, helping out the bullpen and turning in a very solid start. Jacobs just keeps knocking them out, and it was good to see Hermida back and contribuiting right away. Makes that lineup just so much deeper now. Sucks that we made those 2 errors but we were at least able to make up for it later on. key thing is that Olsen didn't let it affect him.
April 10, 200818 yr :raining SWEEP. This is a family joke-when the marlins first came into existence and were about to get their first sweep over the pirates, i believe, I brough out the broom. So the next time there was a sweep opportunity, my wife did not remember it was a broom, so when I said sweep, she said "bring out the umbrellas" instead of brooms. Well, we think it is cute-so too bad.
April 10, 200818 yr The Marlins are not even on Sports Center blah. I have been watching for 1 hour and zippo.
April 10, 200818 yr The Marlins never get any love on SportsCenter. The only time I remember significant coverage was for Anibal's no hitter.
April 10, 200818 yr Olsen stepped up big time, we need him to keep doing this all season, kinda seems his performance got lost in all the jacobs hoopla, and probably rightly so. Hopefully this is Scotty break out season........ Anyone else getting excited about mid summer getting a few starting pitchers back?
April 10, 200818 yr The Marlins never get any love on SportsCenter. The only time I remember significant coverage was for Anibal's no hitter. We do get significant coverage when we trade a Miguel Cabrera though. :lol BTW, why aren't you in this thread?
