Posted April 25, 200916 yr @ Philadelphia Phillies (7-8) @ YOUR Florida Marlins (11-5) Chan Ho Park, RHP (0-0, 8.68) @ Chris Volstad, RHP (2-0, 2.76) Series at 0-1 Scouting Report: Phillies: Given that Park has an 8.68 ERA after two starts and that he barely beat left-hander J.A. Happ for the fifth spot in the Phillies' rotation in Spring Training, it might be natural to ask if the Phillies need to re-examine that fifth job. But manager Charlie Manuel said two starts is not enough to draw any conclusions about Park's performance. He will continue to get a chance to pitch. He actually pitched better than his line indicated in Sunday's 5-4 victory over the Padres (four runs in five innings). A defensive miscue in the third led to two runs. Marlins: His last time out, Volstad experienced the second shortest start in his career. At Washington, he worked 4 1/3 innings, and was not involved in the decision. A high pitch count was a problem, as he threw 98 pitches, and he exited with two runners on base. The only start of his career that has been shorter was on Sept. 9 at the Phillies, when he tossed three innings. Walks, thus far, have been an issue. He issued five walks, while striking out five, at Nationals Park. In 16 1/3 innings this season, Volstad has walked 11 to go along with 16 strikeouts. For his career, Volstad is 1-1 with a 1.93 ERA in three starts. Please allow me to start a winning game thread record :pray Current Game Thread Record: 0-0

April 25, 200916 yr That is why Volstad has been successful in his young Major League career - the ability to not let potential danger (runner on 3rd, 1 out) faze him and he manages to work out of it and have a scoreless 1st
