April 26, 200818 yr Author Awesome pitching performance by both teams... except for Mota Begin discussion now! Fixed :thumbup True. Great pitching for all except Mota. lol
April 26, 200818 yr In start after start Olsen keeps proving himself. The guy is really looking like he might have figured it out this year. His starts have actually gotten better almost each time. Bullpen shuts down the other team once again. Gregg with a nice 2 innings for the win. Nice nights from Rabelo and Hermida. :thumbup Good stuff!
April 26, 200818 yr Man, Scott Olsen 2008 is so far of an upgrade from Scott Olsen 2007. He didn't get the win but he pitched incredible into the 8th. 7.1IP, 5H, 0R, 5BB, 0K, 99 Pitches. That's the 3rd game in a row where our SP doesn't get a K, but he looked beautiful all night. Scotty has never been much of a strikeout guy and he pitched beautifully to contact.

April 26, 200818 yr I totally agree with Godfather, if we could net maybe Jarrod Saltalamacchia (admitted mancrush on him) and some other stuff, it'd be worth considering
April 26, 200818 yr Olsen just continues to get it done! Nice to see that, and we were able to get some runs late and win it.. Great game!
April 26, 200818 yr Scotty has never been much of a strikeout guy Umm what? Over 9/9ip in MiLB and close to 8/9ip in his MLB career.

April 26, 200818 yr Awesome pitching performance by both teams... except for Mota Begin discussion now! Fixed True. Great pitching for all except Mota. lol I got to watch the game on mlb.tv over here in dallas (for once it actually doesn't hurt not living in SF) and Mota didn't do as bad as the box score indicates he did. He made some good pitches to both Hermida and Rabelo who simply poked their bats out and dumped them into left for key hits. Credit to them for good AB's though, and Mota did walk Hanley to start the inning....
April 26, 200818 yr May I add something? WORST GAME NOT TO TELEVISE. I mean come on, EXTRA INNING SHUTOUT!

Though I don't think trading away starting pitching is the way to go about aquiring one.
April 26, 200818 yr Scotty O! He's come a long ways. Keep it up and he might just win those 20 games he promised last season...
April 26, 200818 yr well i just got back to my hotel. what an awesome game!! can't wait for tomorrow. i'll take some more live photos from miller park tomorrow.
April 26, 200818 yr May I add something? WORST GAME NOT TO TELEVISE. I mean come on, EXTRA INNING SHUTOUT! Agreed. I hate having to listen to the radio like it's 1941.
April 26, 200818 yr I'm usually not one to credit chemistry or other outside factors into player and team performance, but I think the more mature clubhouse atmosphere is really helping Scott Olsen. He seems like the kind of person who needs structure and having more veterans, like Helms and Gonzo, around might be a real benefit to someone like him. But also, Wiley and his new quicker approach are doing wonders for him. Keep it up, Scotty!
April 26, 200818 yr May I add something? WORST GAME NOT TO TELEVISE. I mean come on, EXTRA INNING SHUTOUT! Agreed. I hate having to listen to the radio like it's 1941. same here, its a Friday and a away game, whats up wit that?

There are plenty of other teams that could use a solid 2-3 starter. As nice as it feels to actually have an ace, I didn't have Olsen in the Marlins' rotation in 2010, anyways. So I wouldn't be against seeing him go for the right offer.
