August 19, 200916 yr Marlins win 6-2! W: Nolasco (9-8) L: Norris (3-1) 2B: J Baker (23) HR: J Cantu (13); J Hermida (12); D Uggla (22) SB: H Ramirez (23) Nolasco: CG, 3 H, 2 ER, 10 K 14 CONSECUTIVE GAME WITH 10 HITS!!
August 19, 200916 yr No question about it Ricky dominated the entire night. Lets Go Marlins!!! Bullpen got a rest, offense is still on fire and we got JJ to close get the series win on Thursday.
August 19, 200916 yr Wish someone in front of us would have gone down today. If Ricky pitches like that, it will be contagious for Volstad/West/Sanchez.
August 19, 200916 yr i'm really really impressed with ricky...he had a poor 1st inning where his location was just terrible, then he comes and throws a CG and looked dominant, although gotta give props to some excellent defense behind him. GO FISH!!! :notworthy
August 19, 200916 yr yeah nice offense despite 0-9 from our #1 and #2 hitters...it's pretty interesting how coggy has a bad game when NJ is out :mis2
August 19, 200916 yr nice night from Hermida too. :thumbup Nolasco threw 80 of his 115 pitches for strikes.
August 19, 200916 yr Author We didn't gain any ground today, but didn't lose any either. At least the Braves lost.
August 19, 200916 yr Nolasco hands down for FOTG. He retired 23 in a row after the shaky 1st inning going all the way into the 9th. He also gave our bullpen an extra day off which is always good for there arms. Another good team offensive performance with Props to Hanley and Hermida with 3 hits each and Uggla and Cantu with solo shots. Top 2 Hitters though C.C./Gload went a combined 0 for 8 so they need to come back and have good games tomorrow. Sucks that we don't advance in any playoff race tonight after a solid win but go and get another win tomorrow and keep playing good baseball.
August 19, 200916 yr Rox, Giants and Phillies win tonight. So, 2 games behind to WC and 4.5 games behind to Division leader
August 19, 200916 yr Nolasco is player of the game, no doubt. Nice game overall, just sucks that everyone else ahead of us won. I guess we need to keep winning these series and should be fine. Although, our #3-5 pitchers worry me.
August 19, 200916 yr Nolasco was outstanding tonight. There are some pretty decent hitters in that Houston lineup.
August 19, 200916 yr Great game. Nolasco was outstanding and the offense came through yet again. Let's keep winning series. If we do that, we'll be playing in the playoffs. Let's hope Sanchez comes back and does decently well and that Volstad comes back to the pitcher we came to see last season. We really need to have another good starter (besides Ricky and JJ) to have a chance of making some noise in the playoffs. I'm starting to get the feeling that the Marlins are on the verge of a major breakout season. Very good, young team, with lots of talent coming up still.
August 19, 200916 yr wish we could have gained some ground but a great game by ricky.....too bad that last start slaughtered his era for the season.
August 19, 200916 yr I can't wait till Johnson and Wandy face off. And hey props to Hermida for giving the Marlins a 70 year old record and having a pretty good night....he's almost forgiven haha.
August 19, 200916 yr wish we could have gained some ground but a great game by ricky.....too bad that last start slaughtered his era for the season. Could be a blessing in disguise.
