September 18, 200915 yr Author Friday, September 18 Tickets Great American Ball Park | 7:10 PM ET FLA Rick VandenHurk, RHP (2-2, 4.65) Marlins (78-69) @ CIN Homer Bailey, RHP (5-5, 5.56) Reds (68-79) Scouting Report: Marlins: The Marlins had been weighing whether to go with Chris Volstad, who has been laboring with command of his sinker and off-speed pitches, or VandenHurk. The team has opted for VandenHurk, who missed his last spot (on Sunday) due to a stiff back. VandenHurk last started at New York against the Mets on Sept. 8, and he worked four innings, giving up one run, but he was lifted when he back began to tighten. This will be the right-hander's ninth start, and he's struck out 39 in 40 2/3 innings. He's walked 17. Reds: During a 5-2 loss to the Cubs on Sunday, Bailey pitched 5 1/3 innings and allowed three earned runs and nine hits with two walks and six strikeouts. He threw 115 pitches, with 81 going for strikes. Like in his recent starts, the right-hander was routinely reaching the mid-to-upper 90s and topping out at 98 mph. It was the first time in his past five starts that Bailey took a loss. He has a 2.23 ERA in that stretch.

September 19, 200915 yr Yeah, things aren't looking good. But after yesterday's loss/Phil's win, I think we feel like that about our hopes.
September 19, 200915 yr Well, on the positive, it was cool watching BC throw that so hard that NJ fell over.
