May 2, 201016 yr Marlins win 7-1! W: Volstad (2-2) CG, 8 Ks L: Stammen (1-1) 2B: H Ramirez (5); C Maybin (3) 3B: C Ross (1) HR: H Ramirez (3); J Cantu (6)
May 2, 201016 yr No better way to start May than with a W. Cantu homered and got 2 RBI's as well. He is on fire. And....did the Marlins actually have a crowd tonight?Like near 35,000? Concert?
May 2, 201016 yr You forgot Jorge Cantu's HR :mischief Beauty from Volstad, nice to see the offense come alive, solid defense. Now if we can do this for the rest of the season, we should be good to go.
May 2, 201016 yr Voted for Volstad. Always nice to see a complete pitching performance. Though I could have voted for "Other" for the Nats defense.
May 2, 201016 yr Contemplated Hanley, but Volstad was good to not be the FOTG tonight. Its nights like these where I feel somewhat confident in our pitching staff. And that comment about the Nats defense made me :lol
May 2, 201016 yr Author Also, Scott Cousins is a single away from the cycle with 3-4 innings to play.
May 2, 201016 yr solid game all around.....would like to see that happen more often and stay consistent.
May 2, 201016 yr Big win to stop the skid... Much needed... No question who the player of the game is, great outing by Volstad. Much needed! Lets get this series tomorrow boys... :gofish
May 2, 201016 yr i just picked up volstud on my fantasy team... i'll probably regret it but couldn't resist!
May 2, 201016 yr I was at this game, and Volstad looked amazing, save about...2 or 3 pitches tonight. Nice to see Cantu and Hanley go yard!
May 2, 201016 yr This is a stupid question but I don't get why Hanley is called H2R. H = Hanley 2 = His number R = Ramirez
May 2, 201016 yr No better way to start May than with a W. Cantu homered and got 2 RBI's as well. He is on fire. And....did the Marlins actually have a crowd tonight?Like near 35,000? Concert? No it was University of Miami family night, I guess Willy Chirino in concert draws a couple thousand aswell. FOTG definitely goes to Volstud. CG 4 Hits 1 Run and he went 2-3.
May 2, 201016 yr I've not been impressed with Volstad this year, but he clearly elevated his game tonight and hopefully this is the start of him really getting over what has kind of been a sophomore slump. This is what we need to start turning the ship around before it ever falls way out of it in the first place.
May 2, 201016 yr My vote is for Allison Williams... she was looking pretty good tonight. Oh, I guess Volstad did okay too.

I doubt the UM thing brings too many people. IIRC it's for faculty and staff only, and since the school only has 10k students and far fewer faculty, I'd be surprised if it added more than a few thousand attendees. I certainly could be wrong, though.

Don't forget alumni and alumni businesses, vendors wishing to ingratiate themselves with their UM clients, the School of Medicine staff and again vendors, government liaisons, the list is endless. UM night I believe has been historically a big event generator.

UM night I believe has been historically a big event generator. Got home too late to make this game. But in the past they have opened a gate just for them to enter, given out hot dogs and sodas at the top of the ramp on the 100 level, and had them mainly sitting in the 400 section. It is a pretty big draw for them.
May 2, 201016 yr Volstad now has 4 quality starts out of 5 this season. Take out his Colorado game and his ERA is now under 3. Was also nice to see Hanley flash some power and get his average back up to .300 Oh and stretching back to last season, Cantu now has 54 RBI in his past 54 games
